1 A MINDFUL JOURNEY TO Northern Vietnam & Angkor Wat March 15 27, 2019 A pilgrimage is different from a vacation even though it looks like one. On a vacation we are likely to take in the scenery, the people, and the culture. We take pictures of each interesting and amazing thing. More is better when you are taking in. After a while though, we become full. And when we are full, we can miss the beauty we have gone half way around the world to see. On a Pilgrimage the focus is different. Instead of looking outside, we are also noticing what is happening inside ourselves. How does the beauty we see affect us? How do different customs and morals make us question our values? How can we allow the difference in human culture to teach us? Even history can remind us life is precious and temporary, no matter how grand or beautiful it may appear. A Pilgrimage includes two journeys, the one we visit and the one inside our hearts and minds. On this trip we immerse ourselves in the scenery, history, and traditions of northern Vietnam and Cambodia. We visit monasteries to meditate at an eclectic collection of temples, learn about Zen and Theravada practices from monks and novices, hike in the outstanding natural environment of the Sapa highlands, and marvel at the ethereal beauty of Halong Bay. And at Angkor Wat, we spend time at the abode of ancient gods. If you have a little more time available, consider extending your stay in Luang Prabang replete with timeless architecture, gilded temples, and saffron-clad monks. TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS BY:
2 Buddhist monks in Cambodia A WORD ABOUT Mindful Journeys What is a Mindful Journey? Mindful simply means practicing how we perceive the beauty and depth of the world. We can become more mindful by using meditation to slow down an internal dialogue we often have with ourselves. When travelling, a simple meditation practice once a day for 30 minutes helps us change the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. Many evenings we gather together for reflection sharing our insights and experiences. These practices remind us that our technological connections are not a replacement for psychological depth. And we become more open to insight. What s involved? The only prerequisite is to pack an open mind. TOUR LEADER Rev. Wayne Walder is the minister of Neighbourhood Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Toronto. For more than 30 years Wayne has practiced meditation from a number of spiritual traditions. He has chanted Dzikr with Sufi Pir s (saints), sung spiritual songs with Hindu priests, and sat in meditation with Buddhist monks. Wayne brings mindful insights and meditations to enhance our experience. He has led more than 30 pilgrimages and retreats in the last 15 years.

The area is home to Dao, Giay, and Hmong settlements, each distinguishable by their colorful everyday dress.
