Michelle and I will always treasure our spiritual adventures with Satyen. His unique ability to see us better than ourselves and help us be more spiritually aware, left us more alive and with more passion for each other.. We are now able to laugh and except each others kinks When we were in a couples gathering in Hawaii, each couple was given a small play to act out. Each play was picked out by Satyen based on his perception. This was called Sacred Theater. Ours changed our lives just like other couples. We have been together now for 40 years and still holding and very much in love. Anyone going on a spiitual adventure with Satyen will have a life changing experience.Stuart Blum -International Businessman ,
It’s not possible to describe how profound my overall experience was but I hope it is enough to explain that even now, many years later when I think back on that journey I still feel a sense of relief and gratitude that I made the leap of faith and followed you to the jungle, that I allowed you to lead me to places I would have never gone on my own and to challenge me and stretch me in ways I would have never otherwise accepted, or even tolerated.Since that journey I have had some amazing life experiences. Many intense high points and a few devastating lows. I enjoyed the full extremes at both ends as they were the fullness of life and living as I leaned from you on that journey. In every experience since, I feel an amazing sense of strength that I never had before. Even though I know that the strength I have now did not come directly from you or that journey because I know I always had it, however it was on that journey that I discovered what it was, where it comes from and how to apply it in my life. I didn’t learn a new faith or find a new religion, I discovered what my faith was. I learned to witness ways that I was hiding from myself which I could never have seen before and I have been living life more fully ever since.
I continue to learn and grow from the seeds that were planted there and I can’t explain how grateful I am for your service, your guidance and leadership on that journey. Please let me know if there is anything I can to do help you share your gifts with more people.

Satyen and Suzanne's adventure tours are symphonic jam sessions of heart, mind and spirit... I recommend them for everyone who seeks to see the world, relationships, and life as a creative, joyful experience. They led me through the mysteries of Peru, from Machu Pichu to the jungles of the Amazon, from the depths of my soul, to opening the door to my true, ever expanding self, and the spirit which connects and guides all of us... The Bali tour I went on with them journeyed though the beauty of life and death itself, teased me with the perfection in every moment, touched me with its natural beauty, and gave me the opportunity to face fear face first in sacred waterfalls... The India tour was the melding of the chaos and flow of day to day life brought through each experience continually reminding to appreciate the divinity of us all as one. Bring your loves, and your fellow explorers of life on each incredibly unique and powerful experience.

There are trips. There are vacations. And then there are startling and life-changing journeys of discovery. I have known Satyen and Suzanne as great teachers of depth and profound love and insight for years. So when I heard about their trip to Peru to dive deep into life’s questions with local shamans and to explore the forests and ourselves – I jumped at the chance. The result? It was like putting jet engines on my enthusiasm for every aspect of my life back home. My family, my friendships, my work, my spirit – all were transformed. Sometimes you have to step outside the business of your life – even if it’s fun and rewarding – to discover the bounty of love, learning and adventure that this life offers. Satyen and Suzanne not only open up vast new canvasses, they put the paint in your hands and help you discover the talent for living that you have had bottled up inside – and can now express. Oh – and have a kickass fun time while you’re at it!Adam Gilad - Emmy-nominated Producer and Writer, author and speaker, who has served as a Stanford Humanities Center Graduate Research Fellow.

Every adventure tour with Satyen I have unleashed myself in a new and exciting way. In Africa I discovered myself in the Great Pyramid as I opened to the Great Mystery within and felt the essence of the beginning of life and the sacredness of 'God'. On the plains of Serengeti as we traveled on a safari with our drivers, I discovered how simple it was to call forth the black rhinoceros and all the magnificent animals who joined us. In a crop circle in England I felt peace enter me. In Ireland the winds blew threw me, the ocean called to me, the castles invited me. In Bali, I wept at the magnificence that was presented in front of me. I found the beauty was so overwhelming, I had to sit each day and keep receiving. This land, this exquisiteness wanted to fill me in every way. At first it was difficult to receive it. Every day I allowed more to enter me. I met an amazing Medicine Man who showed me humbleness, patience and healing. I am able to receive in a way I never could before. Each day those pieces from those magical journeys have brought me closer to me so I can live from me each day, each moment.

The Spiritual Adventure Tours are amazing, I had the best time! I've gone on several, and am very glad I did. Each one is so unique and special and downright magical, as well as a lot of fun. Coming back from each one I felt like a different person. The deep and profound connections that are made with the other participants are priceless, as are completely new ways of seeing the exotic destinations and discovering secret hidden places far out of the regular tourist routes. I will definitely go again!Anna Bronstein - Software Expert ,
I have had the great gift of being with Satyen and Suzanne in Peru, Bali and Hawaii. I can't really say what drew me to these places or why I even went with these two amazing teachers. It was just something inside me - like an invisible force. I was always really nervous and at the same time excited. Why? Because I knew I would be challenged, nudged out of my comfort zone, not allowed to withdraw into my little patterns of blame and judgment. I was going to be held accountable for my thoughts, my words and my actions. I was going to experience a depth within myself as yet undiscovered and unexcavated. I was going to experience a type of connection with others and what some would call Great Spirit that I had never felt before. Who knew I was so loved?Mary Ann Hutchings - Lawyer, Retired,
How awakened would you like to become? What’s most important to you your knowledge or your divine connection with your true self?I’ve spent £10’s of thousands on personal development work and it wasn’t until 2005 when I met Satyen and Suzanne that I fast tracked overcoming the internal challenges I had created. I don’t feel that words can personify enough the ‘Aha’ moments I felt when travelling with Satyen to Peru. After that I gained further insights into how I can be of greater service to myself, my family, my community and further…
You’ll see sights rarely seen, you’ll feel connections you never thought possible and you’ll hear much about your own personal journey to true self. I felt so much more connected to my authentic self through the locations and practices taught by Satyen and Suzanne.
I owed this personal journey to myself and I honestly feel as a divine sovereign you too will travel places you never thought possible to connect closer to your heart and body. Satyen and Suzanne are incredible beings who invite you on your own enlightened journey.

Satyen is a unique teacher -- a fully realized being who has a unique gift of transmitting his timeless wisdom derived from a multitude of spiritual tradiitions of the ancient and modern world. His words have brought me and others who have journeyed with him to our centers in an instant. His teachings penetrate all layers of our protections and speak directly to our soul. Drink deeply from his teachings as I have and you will be served at every challenging twist and turn of of your life. Don't expect an enlightened being that is soft and gentle like the Buddha. Expect a fun, wild, penetrating, reverent, irreverent, and a deeply loving, beautiful man whose heart is as deep as the ocean. Every moment I have spent with Satyen is etched in my soul forever. I have met hundreds of transformational teachers and there is none like Satyen. I find myself quoting his many words of wisdom to individuals and couples who come to me for their transformation and I can see their nervous systems immediately calming down and their hearts opening up as they hear these words.Srini Katragadda - Psychotherapist, http://www.bagisf.org/srinikatragadda Oakland, CA ,
I have had the incredible good fortune to be on three trips with Satyen and Suzanne. Peru, Hawaii, and Bali. Each one I consider a trip of a lifetime. As I feel into each journey, there is a common thread, connection to others but more importantly, a very deep connection with my wife and children. Without Satyen's and Suzanne's guidance, insight, and life experience, these trips may well have been ordinary. Crap, without Satyens teaching, my life and my relationships may well have been ordinary. Life throws many curveballs, and I believe that because of my association with these remarkable teachers/mentors, I have been well prepared to deal with the the ebb and flow of life. I love these guys!!Daniel Secter, Dentist
I have been on 2 of the journeys already - Peru and England- Ireland. While both trips were very different in physical, cultural and economic ways - there were many similarities. Both trips provided great insight into the countires , the history and the people as well as spiritual beliefs and customs. Allowing me to integrate and grow my own spiritual practices and grow my awareness. In finding out more about others I seem to have discovered the same or more about myself. I was also introduced to many new gifted friends who I could learn from and exchange with in a deeper more meaningful way. Many being great teachers to me - some in a conscious way and some without even knowng it. I have also experienced learning many new things and seeing more and more how much more there is to learn and experience - thank - you Mother Ayahuasca.
Being that I run a company - I personally believe that I need to remove myself for a few weeks a couple of times a year. This allows me to rest and reboot. I am out of cell phone and email range and find it very freeing - and enriching. It is a great way for me to spend my t time - as well as stimulating my brain and body in new ways. I have tried beach and cruise vcations and while nice - they don't get my juices going. The above trips have and more. When I get home I am ready to get back at my life with new skills and awarenesses as well I find myself looking towards the next adventure tour. I truly miss the community that has been built.
I also very much love the teaching aspect of the journeys - when Satyen and Suzanne share their learnings in their unique way - allowing for fun - expression, freedom and creativity all in a wonderfully held space.

As a Holistic Doctor, I’ve been very blessed to have many opportunities to be exposed to a variety of different motivational speakers, classes, workshops, etc. that focused on the gamut of personal , professional and spiritual enhancement. My passion has always been to learn as much as I can so that I can open & grow as a person which would not only serve me in my own life but also in my practice. After wondering why I was at one particular seminar that wasn’t really speaking to me, Satyen walked in the room. He gave a presentation and I was pulled to attend one of his seminars. What I loved was that he was absolutely passionate about what he was doing, spoke the truth and did it all with a lot of heart. From there I decided to go on a Spiritual Adventure Tour to India with him. This was one of the most amazing awakening experiences of my life on so many levels. India herself provided so many lessons, experiences and incredible energy. However, Satyen and ALL the people that he had gathered together created an environment and foundation in which I could go deeper, open wider, and understand with more clarity. Then only 4 months later, I went to Peru with him on yet another adventure. Now, you have to understand that I have a private practice, responsibilities, commitments, and not only that but it just didn’t make sense to go again so soon. But just having experienced India with Satyen, I knew I had to go. And I’m so happy I did. I learned, grew, opened beyond my limits yet again but best of all I met the love of my life. Satyen has a gift of seeing right into you, he’ll tell you like it is, with a bit of humor or with the sting of directness. He pushes you beyond your limits and invites you to have fun while doing it. Satyen himself is an adventure to experience regardless of where he is!Helen Lee - Chiropractor ,
I am an airline pilot and travel for a living but there is nothing like traveling with Satyen. I knew none of my traveling companions prior to the trip but but was soon embraced by a group of enlightened travelers that only Satyen Raja can put together. We saw all the sights, which was wonderful and amazing but we also got to soak up Satyens wisdom on a daily basis. There are many opportunities to stretch your mind, spirit and body. Satyen has made special freinds in all his destinations that open doors to places not often seen by the likes of us "normal' people. I also got to see that Satyen lives by the principles he teaches. Satyen's wonderful wife Susan and his rock solid right hand man Sean also did everything they could to make the trip fun, seamless and the adventure of a lifetime.Michael Hodge - Airline Pilot,
I am happy to share what comes for me as I review the many many Blessings I have received through these Adventures. I am so looking forward to reconnecting with you all in India in February.In Peru I was able to settle into the center of my Being and relax for the first time in my life in Peace. I found the Home within.
When I left for the Adventure I had a health condition that completely cleared up once my Heart opened in Machu Picchu and has never been an issue since.
I experienced and embodied the Essence of my True Nature and of All Others.
My connection with the Plants have humbled me and empowered me to take exquisite care of myself.
I made a choice to Love through fears no matter what.
The lessons I embodied have changed who I am in every Beautiful way possible and have given me an understanding of myself that continues to enrich my life.
I am forever committed to realizing Truth.
The Friends I made on these adventures have become the most valued people in my life, they are the ones who stayed by me as the old distorted me fell apart and the new was born inside of me.
In India I learned how to let go of attachments and Give the very thing that I was wanting to receive by the Incredible Sadhus at the Kumbh Mela.
As another layer of paralyzing fear was released in Varanasi my Heart opened beyond anything I had every known.
I found myself simply enjoying life in the richness of the present moment and was open to Amazing surprises and gifts through the process.

Occasionally I reflect on how much energy it takes to both survive and thrive as a lead in an industrial software company in today's environment. Why would one pick such a difficult path fraught with risk, insane work load and sacrifice? Well, it is important to recognize your teachers – everyone close to you on your entrepreneurial journey is in fact a teacher for you, if you choose to see it that way. In my case also, luckily, I chose the unique spiritual adventure tour led by SR and team.Let’s just say that experiencing the subtleties of the unseen world, gives you a strong foundation to function as the best version of yourself in the everyday world; i.e. in a world of illusion, change and human strife; where instead you place your attention on core vision and not be drained by everything else the maya can entangle you with. This will have lifelong profound impact on your journey.
