A Travel Adventure with a Spiritual Focus: L.A. Lawyer/Writer Shares Memoir TRAVELS WITH A SWAMI Chronicling Her Visit To Holy Shrines In India Rarely Seen By Outsiders

Charleston, SC, Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While living it up on the party scene in 1970s Hollywood, Laura D’Auri decided she wanted more. Using the proceeds from the sale of a coffee table book she compiled and sold to Bantam Books, she boarded a plane for Spain and Italy, not realizing at the time she was embarking on the spiritual journey of a lifetime. She visited an ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas where she met a female Swami. Together they set out on a five-week pilgrimage visiting shrines around South India where few Westerners have ever set foot. What transpired on this life-altering journey is the basis for her new memoir.

In Travels with a Swami, D’Auri shares a remarkable tale of spiritual insight and personal growth, encouraging others to follow their own dreams. Through her adventures, she witnessed mystical wonders of India, and gained a deeper understanding of the value of applying spiritual principles in daily life. Her experiences, from the mundane to the sacred to the dangerous, and everything in between, brought her a profound appreciation for a spiritual life well lived. D’Auri’s deeply personal account illustrates the incredible opportunities that come from exploring the world, and oneself, with an open mind and an open heart.

Travels with a Swami is available for purchase on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com.
