I really dont know what to say... I went in to the workshop... No actually was pushed in to this workshop by some one who matters to me.. Started with a lot of scepticism. I have always been proud of the fact that I have always been a cynic. But the three days have changed everything. Now my world and all the people in it are so beautiful! Have they changed? No! The only thing that has changed is something inside me. I love and respect myself now. And I have come to realize that thats all that matters.
Its like being reborn. So what its 37 years after my first birth.. Atleast the remaining years will not go waste.
I would reccomend this experience to anyone who would like to be happy.. Thank you!!

July 9th to 11th @ New Delhi

For the past five months we have had so many people who have walked through this journey with us...and each time, one realises that it is this coming together for a while that lends huge amounts of positive energy to each one of us...in a way, we are but, fellow travellers...we all go through varied experiences...at times we know why but there are other times when nothing makes sense...the surface is quiet and yet there is huge turbulence inside...we donot understand why.

And then we come face to face with ourselves and in this moment, we know we are the designers of our lives...the choice is our own...this is what Conversations with Myself is all about.

Somewhere, no matter how much one believes in God, what takes centre stage in one's life is anything but that.

Conversations with Myself simply makes one realise that if we allow faith and not fear decide our course,the journey becomes so much simpler...faith in God and faith in our own selves...not fear.

Update

The next retreat is happening from June 4th to 6th. In all likelyhood the venue is going to be the Global Arts Village. If you have any friends who would like to attend, please ask them to get in touch with me or Anu.
A new Group "Conversations with Myself" started on Facebook. Login to check it out

Dare to believe there's song in your heart
Dare to believe in your dreams
Nothing can stop you from playing your part
As long as you dare to believe

Too many people hold themselves back
when they should be reaching out
Too many people on the wrong track
Led astray by a seed of doubt
We don't have to live that way
the sun is up on a brand new day

Dare to believe there's a song in your heart
Dare to believe in your dreams
Nothing can stop you from playing your part
As long as you dare to believe

Too many people say its alright
Never see a need to change
Too many people hiding their light
Underneath a cloud of pain
We don't have to bow our heads
Lift them up sing for joy instead

Dare to believe there's song in your heart
Dare to believe in your dreams
Nothing can stop you from playing your part
As long as you dare to believe.

Conversations with myself...

The journey that we all thought would never be the same...or was OVER... We were so busy believing in others....believing the final verdict lies in others hands... Confusing the path to our own happiness which to us seems so hazy and unpredictable...!





Conversations.......

I Stumbled upon 2 beautiful people who asked me to attend "conversations with myself"....had no clue what it was going to be about....went there with an open mind hoping to get undoubted clarity on some unanswered questions in my mind.... But its not about getting answers or solutions.....I would say its about finding yourself, in the world where others make you dance according to their beats....which in due course my friend makes you lose your sense of rhythm and 'your' love for dancing!....

"Conversations" is more to envision why you chose to dance in the first place... :)... and to understand that dancing to your own beats makes you most happy.

Understanding who I am and not letting anyone defy the real I is a challenge that we all face....but again the will to fight and win that fight is all upto "I".... I have my own ways to battle the world and hence no one can do it better for me...

We all have the answers .... I had the answers, but i could not come to terms with them...i needed a push and various life experiences that made me sit back and think "shit aint the only one in the world that needed that push!" ..





"Exposing" yourself to a great number of feelings, experiences and adventure, may shape a path that you never knew existed...for yourself...or for another :)...

More than often, things dont go according to plan. From a delayed flight which upsets an entire schedule to life plans going awry. Most of the times these things happen because of circumstances beyond our control.

The issue is not that we cannot control the circumstances. The issue is how we respond to those circumstances. Helplessness? anger? despair? But how are these emotional states going to change anything? Those circumstances will happen anyway.

I have discovered a way to deal with such situations. When ever something like this happens, I force myself to step away from the situation and try and look at things very objectively. The problem is already known... Can I now look at the possible solutions? In some cases I do find solutions. In others where no solutions are in sight, like in the case of a delayed flight, I find it much better to just accept the situation. I cant fight it, and its useless to even try.

But there have been a few occasions, when something beautiful has happened. Suddenly a third option, completely independant of the situation crops us. And that experience has become a cherished memory.
