Jen will be the one telling of the exciting and spiritual journey for now.

Southern India/Shraddha Ashram
After hours of traveling by train, we finally arrived at Trivandrum.
We came to Trivandrum to travel to the Shraddha Ashram, one of the many spiritual centers in India. This was practically Holly's dream and Amanda and I knew she was as excited as I was when I first arrived in Kiminini, Kenya.
Holly signed up for about a month to stay in the spiritual center. It was her dream, so of course she was going to go over the top and stay for thirty days! Unlike her, Amanda and I decided to just stay at the spiritual center for a week. Then, Amanda and I would go to Goa, India to relax and have fun by ourselves while Holly stayed at the Shraddha Ashram.
After traveling for an hour in a taxi, we finally arrived at the Shraddha Ashram.
As soon as we reached the entrance, there was nothing but silence. It was a contrast to the bustling place outside of the walls of the Shraddha Ashram.
We entered the building and went to the front desk. After putting our signatures on the many forms we were given, we received our schedules. At first glance, the schedule didn't look so bad (but that was bound to change soon).
It was actually quite refreshing and beneficial the first few days of our spiritual retreat. I enjoyed the yoga and loved the meat-free meals. I was beginning to obtain other-worldly spirituality.
