Go "MAD" in Nepal - A new and unique "Make a Difference" Nepal Tour - NOT FOR PROFIT
Story by Snow Cat Travel
Snow Cat Travel in association with Australian Life Adventurer, Peter Stuckey, "The Eccentrekker"
Contribute - Create - Flourish - Adventure
A "not for profit" group tour to not only see the splendour of the Himalayas, but to also get really involved, contribute and help "hands on" with the ongoing needs of the local people too.
Organised and hosted by Peter Stuckey, Assistant Tutor in School of Practical Philosophy, accredited Mindfulness Coach and lover of Nepal, this is an extra-special journey through Nepal and much, much more. Contribute to the ongoing work of the Support Rural Nepal initiative, "hands on" and financially lies at it's very heart.
Support Rural Nepal was the benevolent response of the key people behind Snow Cat Travel to the 2015 earthquake, Support Rural Nepal is our own private initiative. Providing immediate relief to those affected was clearly first and foremost. However, continuing support remains absolutely essential, not only to recover and rebuild but to also help the future outlook of the people of rural Nepal. We remain 100% committed to this benevolent project.
Meeting the local kids in Bandipur
The tour features a short, low altitude and very straightforward trek in the stunning Modi Khola Valley beneath the majestic peaks of the Annapurnas, overnighting in luxury trekking lodges and then heads "off the beaten track" to the Newari mountain town of Bandipur for a few days where participants will help out with a reconstruction project. There's also the chance to spend a memorable night in the home of a local family. But, there's even more to enjoy and make anyone joining this tour feel good. There'll be (optional) daily meditation and mindfulness, ongoing life coaching, artistic sessions, insightful discussions etc enabling participants to MAKE A DIFFERENCE for the people of Nepal and for themselves too.
The tour cost includes a financial contribution of $AUD1,000 per person towards the ongoing work of Support Rural Nepal.
The programme has been developed in conjunction with a psychologist and is based around Eudaimonia...human flourishing, hence it is not about merely creating intelligent space (which, by definition, implies a problem solving approach), rather it is about creating inspirational space, an environment in which the participants can explore and develop all of Martin Seligman's elements of well-being, i.e. Positive Emotions, Engagement (Flow), Relationships,Meaning and Achievement. It will be underpinned with the application of proven themes around mindfulness (Peter Stuckey is an accredited Mindfulness Coach) communication, conflict resolution, problem solving ,leadership, stress management, time management, etc etc.
Creativity will be a major underpinning influence and artists will be encouraged to complete a piece during the tour.
Pre programme participants will be provided a suite of validated psychometric tools to complete and 1:1 coaching programmes will be developed for each participant.
