March 15-28, 2026 Itinerary
What to Expect
Rather than rushing from place to place, this Heritage Tour moves slowly and deliberately, allowing space to breathe, reflect, and truly arrive in each experience. We believe that meaningful connection, to Vietnam, to history, and to one another, happens in the moments in between.
Over 14 days, we’ll travel through the North, Central, and South of Vietnam, guided not only by cultural exploration, but by presence.
A Slower Pace
Days are thoughtfully structured with balance, guided experiences alongside unstructured time, so you’re never rushed and always have room to process what you’re taking in.
Time to Reflect & Journal
Each participant will receive a custom journal with guided prompts. These moments of reflection are woven throughout the journey, giving you space to notice what surfaces and what shifts.
Intentional Breakout Sessions
We’ll gather regularly in small group circles to share, listen, and reflect together. These sessions are invitational, not obligatory, and designed to deepen connection in a way that feels safe and grounded.
Cultural Immersion with Care
From hands-on craft workshops to conversations around history and identity, experiences are chosen for their depth, not their volume.
Room to breathe
Afternoons and evenings often include free time, to wander, rest, explore on your own, or simply sit with what the day has offered.
Slow down. Stay present. Let it unfold.
