I attended my first conference for 4 ? years – the International religious tourism and pilgrimage conference, hosted for the first time in Asia Pacific Region in Vietnam. Thanks to Jaeyeon Choe O’ Regan, PhD for organizing, and Hue University for hosting. We had great food throughout, since Hue is the best foodie destination in Vietnam, IMO. We also had great side trips, including meditation at the Từ Hiếu – Root Temple of Thich Nhat Hanh, who passed in 2022.
My presentation was on Intentional Ritualization, and the Monetisation of Sacrifice
