"If there is peace in your mind you will find peace with everybody. If your mind is agitated you will find agitation everywhere. So first find peace within you and you will see peace reflected elsewhere. You are this peace. You are happiness." - Papaji
There is unity in diversity in Slovenia, a beautiful country in South Central Europe inhabited by more than 2 million people.
In May, Peace Architect Manuela Puscas organized a series of events focusing on exploring the ways in which the practice of meditation and mindfulness can enrich a person’s life. Six workshops were organized in partnership with local organizations and with the support of Slovene Peace Rebels.
Hosts and partners:
Below are some of the things we focused on and that are relevant and of interest for both organizing and attending the workshops and meditation sessions:
Slovenia is a country of great natural beauty with increased interest in meditation. The audiences, are divided into groups such as people who have been meditating for 20 years or more, youth initiated in various methods, and newly beginners. All were welcomed and the meditation experience was well received.
Below are feedbacks from some of the people who decided to share their meditation experience:
“I feel fantastic, I feel optimistic, my mind has cleared and I feel happy.”
“When I meditate I can see the future, I see people dying, what does it mean?”
“Sometimes I have great difficulty in bringing myself back. Even now I had a hard time coming back to here, is this good or bad?”
If you are interested in meditation, you are welcomed to join us for the next time we organize a session in your city.
