Why we travel this way

Beyond the resort, and into the heart of culture.

I started Satsang Adventures to offer travel that goes deeper into the lifestyle of people who live differently than us. I want to take you beyond the resort and into the heart of the culture, to what gives each country its pride. Each day includes excursions to explore a cultural craft, a ritual, an experience, or the nature around us. The days are full of joy, exploration, and cultural appreciation.

We balance comfort and immersion. You won't be in a resort, and you won't be in a tent. We find the middle way and settle into the richness of each place. Every journey is facilitated by Kristin Bird with one assistant supporting her, and the experiences are curated by local guides.

We go small: groups of eight to twelve, one host who has been there before you, and local hosts, cooks, weavers and guides who are proud business owners showing you their craft.

We are an honest company here to support your travel journey with ease. Every journey shows you, before you book, the intensity on the body, how deep it goes, and how fast it moves. Ninety percent of the journey is included in the price you see. Five percent of the profit stays in the place, with an organization named on the page where you pay.

What travellers say

Satsang Adventures in Oaxaca was an unforgettable experience. Kristin led with such competence and ease—every detail handled so seamlessly that we never felt a single hiccup. The women in our group came together with so much support, sharing, and growth. The mix of lessons, friendships, wisdom, cultural experiences, delicious food, discomfort, and both the peace and chaos of Mexico created something magical. And knowing every venue and service was run by women made it even more special. I hope to make it an annual trip!

I went to Nepal and Kenya with this group recently and it was an amazing experience! It most definitely won’t be my last. Kristin made sure everyone was taken care of, and the entire trip was well thought out, planned, and executed. I had a great time, and I highly recommend going on a trip/retreat with this crew!
