Our first block week of classes on campus begins Thurs April 23 and concludes Sunday April 26 in advance of Group I leaving for India April 30/May 1. Attendance during block week is required and is as essential to the field school as our time in India. Closer to the date, a schedule for Block Week 1 will be provided. In brief, these days are dedicated to unpacking both courses, to reviewing logistics such as transporting gifts to the Sri Ram Ashram, for a cultural ceremony with the Iniskim Centre’s Dion Simon. Probably most key is that we take time to get to know one another and prepare for our collective adventure.
