Exploring Bhutan with Hinoki granted us incredible access to a variety of spiritual leaders, environmental educators and medical practitioners, individuals whom would have been impossible to assemble without Hinoki's contacts and close personal relationships in the country. From discussing prayer, rebirth and beliefs with Reincarnate Khandro Dorje Phagmo, the highest ranking female leader in Tibetan Buddhism, to staying overnight in a remote monastery not normally open to guests, to accompanying Dr. Sanga to go behind the scenes at his Sowa Rigpa practice, to our exceptional hosts and guides, Kencho and Kuenga, it was a warm, frank and remarkable invitation to explore Bhutanese culture, country and spirituality through the lens of Reverence. I so appreciated the thoughtfulness of the theme of the trip, the respectful curiosity that it encouraged and Hinoki's commitment to community-led tourism and authentic engagement without pretense.
