Journeys

The Makhad Trust initiates a series of journeys for small groups of visitors. Journeys lead to meetings; and meeting places are where people, ideas and practical projects can interact. The result is a contribution to the sustainable way of life of those who host the meetings.

It is in the nature of places such as the Sinai, Tibet and the Arctic Circle that those who wish to take part in the practical projects need to make a journey in order to get to the remote destinations where they are needed. The Trust sees this journey, which will usually be on foot or by camel, as a significant aspect of its work. This is the opportunity to gain an understanding of the environment, both natural and cultural, in which the visitors will be working.

The Journeys are not intended to be holidays, but can be seen in the context of ‘sustainable tourism’ and may be taken as practical demonstrations of how we might experience our world more fully, without in the process destroying its delicate balance.

Makhad is about journeys and about meeting places. You are warmly invited to join us.
