I am frequently asked if spiritual travel is "fun". There are probably three basic answers to this question.First, there seems to be the conception that taking a "spiritual journey" (whatever that means to you) is "work". Nobody wants to work on a vacation. That's why we take a vacation in the first place, to get "away from it all" for awhile, to escape. We seem to frame the concepts of spiritual and personal growth with thoughts like: "I need to do this" or "I should do that" because "it would be good for me".With those ideas as a background, it's no wonder that so many of us think of spiritual and personal growth as "work". When we're on a vacation, we want to leave all the "need to's" and "should's" of daily life behind us, for at least a short time. My personal experience has shown me that what happens during spiritual travel event is not work at all; it is a joy. I get to meet and connect with people at a level simply not possible on a typical vacation. The connections I make with others on these travels adds immensely to the enjoyment of my time away.To be able to sit and have a real conversation with someone; for me to be listened to with genuine interest; for me to listen...more
