With Dr Ashok Bedi, a renowned Jungian psychoanalyst who conducts the individual and group sessions, his wife, Usha, who has a rich repertoire of knowledge and witticisms, and Regine Oesch-Aiyer, the once art consultant turned founder of Mindful Journeys – a travel company, who facilitates the trip, there is an interesting assemblage of personalities on board. The trips alternate between the north and south of India, focus on cultural experiences and allow ample time for lectures and discussions – one can’t think of a better way to get exposure to and learn more about Carl Jung’s philosophy.
As Praveen Langham of Travel Scope India sums it up, “Over the years there have been a lot of repeat guests, who have great regard for Dr. Ashok Bedi and seem to enjoy the rich learning of the Jungian discussions”.
This year, the Jungian group ventured into central India with the Satpura National Park as one of their stopovers. As they explored Satpura, by jeep, by canoe, on village walks and night safaris, perhaps they learned a little bit more about this diverse country and its multi-faceted soul.
Here are some images of Satpura National Park with Carl Jung’s quotes to celebrate our years of journeying together!
