The Many Names of the Divine:
India and the Living Traditions of Dharma
January 11-20, 2027 (pre-trip to Agra/Taj Mahal Jan 9)

A few spaces are still available! Join Valerie Zimring Schneiderman and Alma Journeys on a sacred pilgrimage through India’s living history. Delhi - Bodh Gaya - Varanasi. Explore spiritual and cultural traditions that have shaped the land and her peoples for centuries. With destinations rich in Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions, we discover them, not as separate paths, but as interconnected expressions of humanity’s search for meaning, truth, and the sacred; where today these traditions are not only remembered, but deeply lived.

This journey can be taken on its own, or in combination with the Kerala/Ayurveda retreat which follows, January 20-28, 2027. Link in bio directly to the trip page for full details.

The Wider Vocabulary of Practice: Ashtanga Primary & Intermediate Series Exploration. Sunday Morning Pop-Up with Val Schneiderman. In-Person & Online
July 19th from 9-11am Rosemary Court Yoga

​Join Val for Sunday morning practice, weaving together elements of the Ashtanga Primary and Intermediate Series. This is an opportunity to experience the wider vocabulary of the traditional method through a breath-guided journey that combines the purifying qualities of Yoga Chikitsa (primary series) with the energizing and balancing effects of Nadi Shodhana (intermediate series). Selected asana sequences will be explored with thoughtful steps and variations offered along the way, making the practice accessible and enriching for students of all levels.

A regular practice and familiarity with Surya Namaskara are recommended.

A journey completed,
and a thousand quiet ripples still moving through us.

This heart-opening, consciousness-expanding adventure was not always easy—
few worthwhile things are.

What challenged us shaped us.
What opened us changed us.

From Medellín, Parque Arví, and Cerro Tusa…
to stories shared and paths revealed.

From coffee in Venecia and laughter along the way…
to the quiet welcome of Vanadurga.

From the long road—tuktuk, bus, plane, bus, jeep—
to arriving, again and again, exactly where we needed to be.

From the wisdom voices of the Kogi peoples of the Sierra Nevada…
to remembering how to listen.

From the river carrying us downstream…
to the ocean reminding us of our vastness.

From cliffs and crashing waves…
to tables filled with nourishment, blessing, and laughter.

Each moment, a treasure.
Each step, a teacher. ✨

May we integrate what was revealed.
May we hold our hearts open to possibility.

May the residue of this shared time
continue to touch us—quietly and deeply.

Until we are on the road together again…
may every day be a journey.

Today is a new day.
We shall not waste it.
