Mount Kailash has come to find me again. New School's India China Institute's Sacred Himalaya Initiative (full name of the project: Sacred Landscapes and Sustainable Futures in the Himalaya) today started a four-day planning meeting with scholars and policy people from India, Nepal, the Tibetan Autonomous Region, and the US.

Let's hope the next days are as much fun!
