Can we meaningfully combine passions for travel and self-care with advocacy? In this episode, Jordan Ashley, TEDx speaker and human rights advocate, shares what inspired her to create Souljourn Yoga Foundation, a nonprofit that uses yoga retreats to raise awareness and funds for young women’s education worldwide. Jordan is joined by Joanne Silver, a yoga teacher trained in Reiki and reflexology who has co-led mission-driven retreats in Domenica, Rwanda, Peru and more. Jordan and Joanne discuss how these retreats provide participants with opportunities to immerse themselves in new places and cultures while also helping to enhance girls' access to education and opportunities. They also spoke about their upcoming retreat to Morocco in October 2025.
