For eight months in 2009, I was a member of a multi-racial and transnational organizing committee, from conception through completion, of the first 10-day vipassana meditation course, held in India, for people of African Heritage worldwide. People of African descent along with Asians, Arabs, and people of European descent from Ghana, Egypt, Zambia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, England, US, Brazil, France, India, Singapore, Mongolia, Russia, Argentina, Seychelles came together at Dhamma Pattana (Gorai, Mumbai, Maharastra) to either learn or go deeper with their practice of this ancient, non-sectarian, universal, self purification technique taught by Buddha over 2500 years ago. 

I, along with Kuntal Boglial, who’s a director and cinematographer, documented this powerful, her/historical, global gathering. Upon my return home to the US, in 2010, I began the post-production process. However, there was a serious need to put the project on hold. After being on hiatus for over one year, I’m now resuming post-production.
