Ananda Giri in Rotterdam, Netherlands
A New Beginning for the New Year
One World Academy saw its first ever ‘A New Beginning’ seminar in the Netherlands from January 13-15th 2012. Held at the prestigious World Trade Centre building in Rotterdam, the event was attended by close to 70 participants and was facilitated by OWA Senior Faculty Ananda Giri and faculty members Krishnaraj & Yuktesh. OWA’s simple yet profound message that life could be lived conflict-free irrespective of external situations really struck a deep chord with the participants. Their deep passion to learn was evident in the nature of their questions and the way they actively interacted with the faculty during the sessions. The principles, processes and practices at the seminar enabled the participants to make profound internal shifts and many reported of having broken free of long standing emotional disturbances. The participants also very much enjoyed the session on learning to share the ‘gift of presence’. One World Academy’s seven day spiritual retreat in India called ‘Freedom in Living’ elicited much interest & many expressed keen interest in continuing on their journey of learning by visiting the OWA campus in South India.
OWA offers heartfelt thanks to the organizer Pieter and his wonderful team who made possible such a wonderful event within very short notice.
