This is the next phase of synchronistic chain of the
unfolding beauty in the purpose of my life. The chain of events goes back to
2011, when Anna came to one of my workshops in Auroville. When I was planning
the trip in 2013 and looking for a lace to stay, Marlenka reconnected me with
Anna. Anna was living in The Hague but she talked to Mundo, who welcomed with
open arms and a beautiful heart between the arms. Mundo became a good friend in
the one week I enjoyed his hospitality and he also took time off to attend the
5 session Pranayama workshop as well as the workshops on Stress Management and
Happiness. When eh plans for 2014 were unfolding, Mundo suggested that we can
work together for the workshops in Amsterdam. What more could I have asked for! |
Mundo is one of the few people whom I know
personally with the rare gift of being in the flow AND plan meticulously. He
did a fabulous job of planning the event and added so much value by adding a
pre-workshop screening of “Free the Mind” (documentary on mindfulness research of
Davidson at University of Wisconsin). He has a large circle of ‘real’ friends
who responded to his communication and we had the event with largest attendance
in Europe so far (at one of my workshops). I was also touched by his focus on
making it a homely event and he prepared tasty and healthy snacks for every
event and actually created a homely, warm atmosphere that was enjoyed by
everyone. It was an icing on the cake and made a huge difference. Julija, who
was working in the same place as Mundo in 2013, attended the workshop in 2013
at Center for being (thanks to Mundo). It was a pleasure to meet her again on
19th June and she helped in getting the space ready, even though she
was going to be married on 23rd! She radiates such brilliant,
positive energy that made the task of getting te space ready not only easy but
also very enjoyable. T was also great to have Thomas in the Happiness workshop
(he is Mundo’s neighbour and attended the workshop in 2013, thanks to Mundo). I
and Mundo celebrated the participation of Mundo’s mother in all the three
Pranayama sessions. It was a privilege having her in the workshop.
We did 3 sessions of Pranayama, Stress Management
and Being Happier Workshops. It was a very satisfying and fulfilling experience
for me and I enjoyed the pervasive synergy in the partnership. The participants
were very focused, keenly interested and highly receptive and it was a pleasure
and privilege to share with such groups.
Add to this the positive factor that people understand (my) English very
well – in fact better than most parts of the world, I just loved the
experience! While the individual sessions were great, most of the people didn’t
choose to participate in all the workshops, which is about an integral set of
tools to live a more healthy, harmonious and happy life. Mundo and I discussed
the desirability and possibility of creating a retreat in 2015. I am excited
about the future and am keenly looking forward to the growing synergy and
friendship with Mundo.
I like Amsterdam very much but could actually see
very little of it due to a packed workshop schedule. But, I enjoyed riding the
excellent bike that Mundo arranged for me. It was a pleasure riding the geared
beauty of a cycle in the wonderful ‘bike-friendly’ Amsterdam. The vision of visiting
