A journey into stillness, connection and the vastness of Nepal
Nepal invites a slower way of moving through the world.
From early mornings in Kathmandu, where temple bells and prayer chants drift through the streets, to quieter days held by mountain landscapes, this journey is an invitation into presence, connection, and gentle exploration.
Days unfold through cultural encounters with local hosts, moments of stillness guided by sound and reflection, and unhurried exploration designed to create space to listen, to integrate, and to simply be.
Created for a small group, the Nepal Connection, Sound + Flow Journey balances meaningful shared experiences with personal spaciousness, allowing the experience to be felt deeply rather than rushed or consumed.

The people behind the journey
Still Journeys is shaped by the people who bring each experience to life, from those travelling alongside you to the local guides, hosts and collaborators who help us experience a place more deeply.
Skip | Journey Co-Host
Skip brings a grounded background in outdoor leadership and many years of guiding group travel, particularly across Aotearoa New Zealand. She has a natural way of helping people feel at ease, and brings warmth, humour and clarity to the practical rhythm of travelling together. Her approach is centred around connection, nature and allowing enough space to genuinely experience a place rather than rushing through it.
Tabby | Sound + Journey Facilitator
With more than two decades of experience in sound healing, facilitation and therapeutic work, Tabby brings depth, warmth and a deeply grounded presence to the journey. She has facilitated workshops, retreats and trainings across Australia, Bali and Nepal, and weaves sound, meditation and reflective practices into the experience in a way that feels gentle, accessible and never compulsory.
Mish | Journey Co-Host
Mish brings a grounded, thoughtful presence to Still Journeys, drawing on her experience in breathwork, nature connection and photography. She has a natural eye for the quieter details of a place and helps shape journeys that balance soft adventure with space to slow down, reconnect and take things in. Her role is to support the overall flow of the experience while creating room for travellers to move through it in a way that feels personal and unforced.
Anil | Homestay Host & Musician
Anil welcomes Still Journeys guests into his home, sharing a genuine glimpse into everyday life in Nepal. A talented musician, he brings people together for a special evening of traditional music during our stay. Alongside his wife and mum, Anil opens the door to family life, shared meals and conversation, with the opportunity to learn Nepali cooking together. It’s a warm, personal experience shaped by music, food, family and genuine connection.
