The role of values in happiness
Deeply rooted in my values and inner compass is a fascination with people, travel, art/culture, and nature. In the last decade, through my own transformation, I have been inquisitive about the potential of mindfulness and compassion for being fully alive in life, work, and play with awareness. So, when my husband-to-be suggested we take our honeymoon in Bhutan, I was overjoyed.
“Pilgrims travel not just to reaffirm a particular religious faith, but in hope of finding peace of mind, perspective and commuity in an increasingly fractured world”
COMO BHUTAN
Little did I realise what I was letting myself in for on our adventurous trip to this majestical land and unexplored Eastern Himalayan mountains. Steeped in outstanding natural beauty, cultural gems and spontaneous joy, interwoven with warm hospitality, Bhutan is special. I hope these images share some of my experiences as I journey through this magical land.
So, landscapes and portraits can lead you from an understanding of outer beauty to that of the inner beauty of spiritual awakening and the boundless human qualities that accompany such awakening, as the warmth and light of rays naturally accompany the sun.
