Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or immaterial reality; an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of their being; or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.” Spiritual practices, including meditation, prayer and contemplation, are intended to develop an individual's inner life; such practices often lead to an experience of connectednees to the self, with other individuals or the human community, with nature or the cosmos, or with the divine realm.

Anthropology

Anthropology is a reflection on human nature, as well as its social and cultural roots. Anthropologists seek to understand the causes of our modern problems through the study of the human species functioning as a society, with its complex structures and relationships with the environment.

The environment

For our businesses as well as for the inhabitants of the Himalayan Mountains, climatic change and the current economic crisis are challenges that may well be turned into opportunities. Indeed, these present the occasion to change our consumer habits, adapt our lifestyle to a new environment and focus on innovation. Season

al products, improved agriculture, renewable energies and sustainable development are a few examples of such changes.

Although we are motivated by the current trend to protect and preserve our environment, we have unfortunately lost touch with nature and the serenity it offers. A life led in close contact with nature, as will be ours during the expedition, will teach us to better appreciate and respect it, breathing new life into our struggle to preserve tomorrow’s environment.

Hello dear Readers,

Lorenzo & Cédric took-off yesterday for a lifetime experience!
They landed safely .

As in every adventure, plans change, you need to adapt yourself, well this had already started with L&C. Indeed they decided to cancel the flight to Leh, this because a crew of TF1 informed them that the conditions were way too bad to do anything their.

So they decided to take a train to Dharamsala, in Lorenz's words "le Fief du Dalaï-Lama".

I will keep you posted on their next move!
