Awe Within
Wonder Beyond
Some journeys take you somewhere new. This one takes you somewhere older — back to the part of you that still knows how to be astonished.
Türkiye. October 8–19, 2026
Eleven days. Two landscapes. One unbroken thread:
the restoration of your vitality, your presence, and your capacity for awe.
Part I — Awe Within
An Aegean Olive Sanctuary (Güre) | 5 Nights
Focus: Vitality • Alchemy • Deep Time
Arrive to a rarefied pocket of the Aegean — where the air is famously oxygen-rich and the ancient landscape is still shaped by myth. Olive trees older than memory. Natural hot springs rising from the earth. The quiet intelligence of bees turning nectar into medicine. Here, time stretches into something you can actually feel, and your body remembers what it is to be unhurried. These five days are an invitation to reclaim your attention, return to your senses, and restore your vitality through nature's alchemy, elemental nourishment, and forgotten luxury of deep time.
What awaits you:
Restore — Daily yoga (for every body), breathwork, and contrast therapy: hot/cold water circuit and sauna. Your body will know the difference by day two.
Discover — Ancient olive-grove immersion and the living mythology of the landscape. Apitherapy with a renowned alchemist and researcher. A medicinal vinegar library experience and olive oil tastings that reveal soil, craft, and centuries of culture.
Sense — A guided exploration of beauty, landscape, and the body — and what it means to be in right relationship with the land. The ancient art of Turkish hospitality, lived from the inside.
Receive — Mystic poetry read aloud in landscapes ancient enough to hold it. A journal placed in your hands at the start of the journey. No instructions. Just space.
The Turkish Kitchen Experience: In Türkiye, no matter where you go, hospitality is not a gesture — it is a philosophy. To feed someone well is to honor them, and you will feel that in every meal. Local ingredients, traditional and modern recipes, and the herbs, spices, and histories that bring each dish to life. This is Mediterranean eating as it was always meant to be: slow, generous, and alive.
THE ADVENTURE
The Landscape Changes. So Will You.
Aegean to Anatolia
Part II — Wonder Beyond
Cappadocia, Land of the Beautiful Horses | 6 Nights
Focus: Art • Ancient Spirit • Revelation
Cappadocia — Land of the Beautiful Horses — is a place where ancient history and mythology don't hang on museum walls. They live in the landscape itself. Wind-carved stone valleys. Cave homes hollowed from soft rock over centuries. Vast open skies that make you feel, all at once, very small and very alive.
Here, wonder isn't a luxury — it's medicine. Woven through the architecture, the food, the art, the sacred sites, and the hands and hearts of the makers and knowledge keepers who continue to shape this extraordinary place.
What awaits you:
Arrive — A welcome dinner to mark your entry into Anatolia. Not just a meal — a threshold.
Wonder — Rise before dawn for a hot-air balloon ride over the valleys as the sun comes up (weather permitting). Walk the mythology and layered history of this land with people who carry it in their bones. Travel along the ancient Silk Road. A private visit to family lands in Kings Valley with a special guest.
Create — Pottery immersion in Avanos with a clay anthropologist, connecting the work of your hands to the region's ancient spirit through live demonstration and your own making.
Taste — Wine tasting featuring Cappadocia's exceptional volcanic varietals — wines so rare they never reach the North American market. A culinary evening with a Michelin Green Star chef — recognized for his commitment to sustainable gastronomy — followed by live music in a venue carved directly into the sandstone.
Ritual — A traditional Turkish hammam. A creative exploration with a local artist. The kind of unhurried time that lets it all settle.

At its heart is a belief she has carried for years: that life is magical, that to experience deep rest, beauty, awe and wonder are not indulgences but pathways back to self - our true selves.

The Offering
Your Investment
Every accommodation, meal, experience, and guide on this journey has been personally sought out, and vetted. Much of what you will encounter cannot be found on any tourist menu — it exists in the hands of knowledge keepers, in family lands, in kitchens and studios that don't advertise. This is one of the gifts of traveling in a small group (max 10): genuine access, unhurried time, and experiences that simply cannot be replicated at scale. This is not a transaction — it is a relationship, between you, the land, its people, and the two guides who have poured themselves into every detail.
CAD $7,250 per person. Couples welcome. (inquire for price and availability).
Your journey includes: 11 nights in sought-out accommodations · all airport transfers · exceptional daily meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with one lunch and one dinner on your own to explore) · daily mindfulness, journaling, photographic practice, and sunrise/sunset yoga · all excursions and activities in the itinerary · ground transportation · lectures and experiences with local experts and knowledge keepers · two domestic flights within Türkiye (Istanbul to Edremit; Edremit to Kayseri)
International flights to and from Türkiye are not included, giving you the freedom to extend your journey as you wish.
To reserve your place: A non-refundable deposit of $1,000 holds your spot. Full payment is due by August 15, 2026. Should your plans change, payments are partially refundable up to 30 days before departure.
