Greetings

Participants, friends and family,

I hope this note finds you all in good health and spirits.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Justin Kelley and I will be the Program Coordinator for our pilgrimage. This position focuses primarily on developing and executing the itinerary.

I have spent much of the last five years in the Indian subcontinent both working as a guide for travelers and students and practicing on my own. This time has enhanced nearly every aspect of my life and feel that exploring the lands where the Buddha walked continue to be especially powerful. This program will be the first primarily Buddhist oriented trip I have led, which excites me as it is a wonderful opportunity to combine two of my most passionate loves: India and the Dharma.

The group seems very eager thus far and I am enthusiastic as to where our time together will lead. With this said, I am hoping that his blog will act as a means to document our time together.


With metta,

Justin
