Being in Ladakh I’ve learned an immeasurable amount about the successes and difficulties of living in a secluded community. I’ve learned how to be grateful and mindful as I perform menial activities, and I’ve gained immense knowledge surrounding a collection of religions and ways of life which are nestled here in the pocket between mainstream India, Nepal, and old Tibet. I really wish I could stay longer!

“I learned so much from the different people that we met and the people on the course. I learned a lot just from being in a place that’s so different from anywhere else I’ve been. And each activity or lesson we had taught me something new.”
