Jessie on a Journey
A panoramic scene depicting a picturesque rural landscape in Bhutan. In the foreground, mounds of freshly harvested straw or hay are scattered across furrowed fields, the golden hues contrasting with the lush green foliage. Stepping stone pathways wind through the terraced rice paddies, leading towards a cluster of traditional Bhutanese houses perched on a hillside in the distance. The houses feature intricate wooden architecture and colorful window trimmings, blending seamlessly with the surrounding mountains that rise majestically in the background, their peaks shrouded in hazy clouds. The image captures the essence of Bhutan's agricultural heritage and harmonious coexistence with nature.

Temple of the Divine Madman in Bhutan

We walk about 15 minutes before reaching the path for the Temple of the Divine Madman in Bhutan, a dirt trail draped in colorful billowing prayer flags. Children play with tiny toy trucks in the dirt, while a field to my left is filled with pilgrims who’ve journeyed from all over the world, many whom are there specifically for a fertility blessing, a ritual this temple in particular is famed for. Kinley tells me one of his American clients came and, after receiving the blessing and attending a naked dance festival in central Bhutan, became pregnant after not being able to conceive for six years. Have you visited Bhutan? What was your experience like?
