Join Metta Journeys’s inaugural trip to Africa benefiting Women for Women International May 3-10, 2008
As a Women for Women International supporter, we wanted to extend to you a special invitation to join Metta Journeys on their inaugural trip to Rwanda. During the trip, you will have the opportunity to witness Women for Women International’s programs in the field – and see how you are helping to make a difference in the lives of women survivors of war around the world.
Details of this wonderful journey are below. To learn more or join the trip, email deepak@mettajourneys.com or call 1-888-886-2425.
During these seven magical days Metta Journeys will take you to Rwanda, fertile land of a thousand hills, where women have played an instrumental part in rebuilding and bringing peace to their country after the 1994 genocide. You will have an inspiring opportunity to touch and enrich the lives of others through direct connection with Women for Women International while developing and nourishing yoga and mindfulness practices.
~ Explore new terrain inside yourself through daily yoga and meditation classes for beginner and experienced students with senior yoga teachers Sarah Powers and Chandra Easton
~ Connect with women who have overcome immense obstacles and support them in realizing their dreams
~ Experience the direct link between inner transformation and outer change
~ Expand your horizons through cultural excursions to sacred sites
~ Journey to the Virunga Volcano Region to see Rwanda's famed mountain gorillas
Metta Journeys’s Rwanda trip combines elements of a traditional yoga retreat with the opportunity to interact directly with Women for Women International and the women it supports. Each day will include morning and late afternoon yoga and meditation sessions for both beginners and continuing students. You will have significant interaction with the Women for Women International staff and program participants and will experience the entire cycle of the Women for Women International program - from an induction ceremony to a graduation celebration. We will meet Women for Women International program graduates at their businesses and explore Kigali.
Our seven days in Rwanda also includes visits to culturally important sites in and outside of Kigali as well as a trip to the Virunga Volcano Region, where we embark on a guided trek in search of Rwanda’s famed mountain gorillas.
Metta Journeys’s intimate trips – we take only 20 guests - are organized to maximize your comfort and opportunity to interact with others. We will be traveling in 4-person jeeps with local guides and translators. When we are with Women for Women International, we will have personal translators for each of our guests to encourage conversation and engagement.
While in Kigali, we will be staying in the capital’s only 5-star hotel, located in the city center.
The price of this inaugural trip is $5,442, which includes
the following:
• $500 visitor’s fee for the Parc National des Volcans
(park entry plus compulsory guides and guards for gorilla trekking)
• 4+ hours of yoga and meditation instruction daily

In addition, there is a required minimum donation to Women for Women International of $360 (which will support one woman for one year). This donation is made directly to Women for Women International.
