Learning via Travel

This sub-section offers information about a variety of travel experiences such as delegations, immersion experiences, freedom rides, and so on. They provide enriching ways of learning about others, history, social and political issues, and more.

Such experiences deepen one's sense of interconnection with others and with all of creation, as well as invite spiritual growth and conversion.
