Tubman Walker Travel

Spiritual journeys. Cultural immersion. Transformation across continents.

Tubman Walker Travel creates sacred journeys that nourish the spirit, expand cultural understanding, and reconnect travelers to the deeper story of who they are and who they are becoming. Designed by Rev. Dr. Shelley Best, each experience blends healing practice, creative disruption, and global cultural history — inviting you into travel as pilgrimage, not tourism.

Our journeys bring people together across continents to rest, rise, and reconnect with the wisdom of the world.

Martha’s Vineyard — Rest & Renewal by the Sea

A summer retreat rooted in rest, reflection, and creative awakening. Sunlit mornings, ocean breezes, healing circles, and island culture come together to create space for clarity and renewal.

Accra, Ghana — Return, Remember, Rise

A transformative immersion into art, memory, heritage, and West African creativity. Visit historic sites, meet local artists and cultural leaders, experience live drum circles, and engage in healing rituals that reconnect you to ancestral strength and global belonging.

Kerala, India — Spiritual Roots & Sacred Stillness

A journey into India’s lush backwaters and spiritual traditions, visiting temples, Ayurvedic wellness spaces, and Amma’s lineage of global love. This is a trip devoted to healing, meditation, yoga, and the wisdom of earth-based practices.

Sedona, Arizona — Power of the Red Rocks

A grounding retreat in one of the world’s most powerful natural landscapes. Experience mindful hiking, vortex meditation, sunset ritual, and creative reflection as the desert guides you back to your inner voice.

Tubman Walker Travel offers more than travel.
It offers becoming — through cultural connection, spiritual grounding, and global community.

Each journey is curated with intention, beauty, and care…
because when we travel with purpose, we rise with new power.
