Our tours have an anthroposophical and/or Waldorf educational theme.
They offer nurturing experiences for the heart, as well as the head. These can be planned, yet they also come in unplanned, serendipitous situations.
We offer tours in small groups in search of these experiences which can occur amid the geography and nature of a land and/or amongst its people and their culture. They are more likely to be found far away from a bustling metropolis, expensive hotels, TVs and phones. As a result, these tours will be relatively low cost while maintaining a basic level of comfort. Experiences will be individual yet enhanced by exploring with a small group of like-minded people.
In past tours we have explored Sacred Architecture in Europe, Isis & Osiris through the Ages in Egypt, the Esoteric & Exoteric in Israel, Jordan & Turkey, an inner and outer journey through the story of Parzival, what the distant future might hold through the Slavs of Eastern Europe and the legacy of Rudolf Steiner in depth in Dornach and associated sites in Alsace and Stuttgart.
In our current unsettled world, these experiences restore confidence in humankind and in our own capacity to maintain a steady center. Travel promotes personal confidence as well as confidence in society’s growth in consciousness.

An African Adventurewith Sarnia GuitonOctober 20 to November 5, 2026 | In Search of Northern Mysterieswith Sarnia Guiton and Jørgen LundeJuly 26 to August 9, 2024 |
Coming face to face with an elephant – watching cheetah cubs jumping all over their mother – observing the stately giraffes – staying firmly indoors when the hippos waddle out of the lake at dusk to graze. You will be safe on this safari, yet some of what you will see and experience is like nothing you have encountered before. As well as the wild animals in their natural environment, there is interesting history here too, and some things you would never expect to see in Africa. Join us in October for these adventures, with the trees in blossom in what is springtime here. |
Join us next summer on a small ship for this magnificent voyage along the spectacular coast of Norway to the Land of the Midnight Sun. There is so much to experience and appreciate. Soak up the sense of peace, breathe the clean fresh air, nurture the soul with the natural beauty, nurture the body with the imaginative local food, nurture the conscience knowing we are on an ecologically sustaining ship that will do no harm to the fragile nature of the fjords. For those who choose to participate, this is also an opportunity to explore the Norse Myths and Legends in their own setting. We’ll study The Dream Song of Olaf Asteson, the Voluspa, text of the stories of the Norse Gods, and Rudolf Steiner’s lectures pertaining to them with Jørgen Lunde, a retired Norwegian Waldorf teacher with a love for his heritage. |
