Lisa Ray with the Dalai Lama

Lisa Ray who never stops delighting with her continuous progression (from model to films, to inspirational cancer survivor, to perfume creator), is currently in Dehradun, immersed in three days of talks and lectures on the topic of ‘Reviving Indian Wisdom for Contemporary India’ at a sylvan wellness retreat nestled in the Himalayas. “Overwhelming to be at the receiving end of so much wisdom and good humour in the company of other like-minded shishyas,” she says about the experience, adding, “Numerous things always to share, but for the moment it’s His Highness’ childlike giggle that echoes in my memory.”
