Luke Ketterhagen on excursion at the Taj Mahal

Small-Group Travel with Luke

Excursions

Spiritual journeys woven with culture, practice, and community. Every trip is led personally by Luke.

The Approach

Travel that goes
beneath the surface

These are not tours. They are small-group pilgrimages where daily practice meets deep cultural immersion. Luke handles every logistical detail so you can be fully present — to the place, the people, and to yourself.

Each excursion is designed around the idea that travel — done intentionally — is one of the most transformative forms of practice.

What People Are Saying

This was my second trip to India with Luke, and it was even better than the last. The variety, pace, lodgings, food, and the way he manages a group of thirteen people — seamlessly adjusting the itinerary when needed — was truly remarkable.

My South India experience was nothing but amazing. The beauty and universal spirituality of this part of the world is stunning — and Luke made sure we experienced it fully.
