TESTIMONIALS

My experience with High Karma Journeys was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully and seamlessly handled, creating an unforgettable journey. We stayed the best lodges along the way, enjoyed delicious meals, and didn’t have to worry about a thing. Even when unexpected weather required a helicopter, it was taken care of with ease.

What made the experience even more special were Wasfia and Lakpa Rita Sherpa. Their deep knowledge of the mountains and surrounding villages added such richness to the trip. Hearing their stories, insights, and connection to the land brought everything to life. I felt incredibly safe, supported, and inspired throughout. Being surrounded by a group of epic, kind humans made the journey even more impactful. 

This was a life-changing journey and I cannot recommend High Karma Journeys enough to anyone seeking a meaningful, well-curated, and deeply inspiring adventure.

In my sixty-two years of life, Kwoon took me to subtle places within myself that I had not reached in a very long time. There were moments when tears simply rolled down my face, with no story attached, just a release I didn’t know I needed. The practices were gentle but powerful, and the space held by Shannon and Wasfia made it safe to go that deep.

I came away more present, more open, and more honest with myself. I would recommend Kwoon to anyone, at any age, who is ready to look inward. I very much appreciated the integration time the retreat allowed and the beautiful cards of wisdom from Shannon.

Wasfia is an epic human-being and the perfect mix of wisdom, humor and fun! Even in the midst of so much sorrow (she just lost so many of her friends and the Nepal tragedy she firsthand witnessed,) she led like a legend. I feel like a brand new person, two weeks since our retreat. Thank you for changing my life, for giving me this fresh outlook, Was!

I cant wait to be back for Kenya!!!

Dear Wasfia. I wanted to say thank you for providing the scholarship to me for the two-days of Kwoon.

I learned more about building meaningful relationships with others. During the closing, I could see my 1st grade self laughing and smiling at me.

Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your story. You are such an inspiration, truly beautiful and powerful in the most spiritual and compassionate way. As someone who cared for severe COVID patients in 2020, I find your recovery and your summit of K2 remarkable.

I have trekked in the high Himalaya for years, and going back to the mountains has been an annual recharge for me. I deeply admire your spiritual way of being in the mountains and the respect you show for Sherpa culture. You have inspired me to keep going back and to find ways to give back to the mountains and the people who live there. Though I am not religious, hearing you left me feeling reassured and ready to lean into the higher energies I have always felt out there.

Shannon & Wasfia’s sisterhood is magnetic, powerful and life-changing. These two are probably the wisest, yet most humble Goddesses I have ever met! I could do this over and over and over again. Please do consider bringing KWOON back every month, ladies, if not every week! In reverence, love and gratitude.

Dear Wasfia,

I just wanted to say thank you for organizing such a beautiful and transformative High Karma retreat. I’m so grateful for the way you held us, guided us, and made sure we were supported throughout the entire journey.

It was also such a gift getting to know you personally and learning more about your path. Your presence is powerful, wise, loving, playful, and grounded.

Thank you for all that you are and all that you give. The experience will stay with me for a long time and I’m already feeling the shifts unfolding in my life.
