Heart of Gold Adventures 2019 Adult Trip
Why an adult trip to Nepal? Our mission is to “empower youth to access their inner wisdom and realize their dreams”, so people sometimes wonder why we lead an annual adult trip. After our first teen trip, we had several (half-serious) requests from parents of, “Can I go?” The parents saw the trip’s effects on their children and wanted to go as well. We recognize an adult trip isn’t strictly aligned with our mission, but we considered it another way. As a non-profit, we rely on fundraising and grants to do our work, and the adult trip was conceived as a fundraiser for the Maya Gold Foundation. Essentially, the adult trip was priced to enable us to use some of the fees to offer discounts for the teen trip. So, in addition to offering the adults an experience in Nepal, they are supporting the Foundation and making the trip possible for teens. The trip took place each October and was an adjusted version of the teen trip with some changes, including a five-day trek for all participants.
