We have arrived in McLeod Ganj, the upper part of Dharamsala, after two days on bumpy buses. The group of women who have gathered here (and the few men) are amazing, and we are going to have a phenomenal dance through the next few weeks.

I wanted to send a list of the pilgrims and where they are coming from. Many represent more than one country, both their place of birth and now of residence. They are in no particular order.
Everyone has now arrived, and we begin. I will send more detailed updates as soon as possible,

Blessings,
Jessica Zebrine
