In January 2017, John had the opportunity to travel to Dehradun, India to facilitate a course on Spiritual Formation as part of the DAI (Development Associates International) Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership program. The week of residency was held at the Himalayan Torchbearers India facility near Dehradun. Although the weather was cold John had a fantastic week getting to know and working with the students.

After the week was completed I (John) got to spend a few days being a tourist in the Delhi area. My driver friend Sarbjeet, took me to various places in Delhi on Sunday. Then we drove to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal on Monday.

Tuesday was a shopping day with Songam as my shopping guide.

Then it was time to journey back home with flights through Shanghai and Beijing to Vancouver.
