The Health and Happiness workshop provides practical tools to achieve mental peace and strengthen the body, in our modern, hectic world.

• Attends to all levels of our physical existence - Body, Breath, and Mind
• Suitable for all age groups and skill levels
• Take-home techniques for greater peace of mind and well being

Benefits - By attending the workshop, you can

• Experience profound healing and relaxation
• Sleep better and smile more
• Lose weight and increase energy
• Increase focus and concentration
• Reduce anxiety and depression
• Maintain harmony in relationships
• Improve your immune system and overall well-being

The values that enhance life are confidence, cooperation, compassion and love, enthusiasm, faith and knowledge. These values come only through spirit. We think we can find happiness or comfort through the material, yet we know that material comfort alone is not sufficient or complete. Happiness is a quality of consciousness. It does depend on matter, but to a far greater degree, it depends on attitude and understanding. Living the spiritual values makes your personality solid and strong.
~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Daily stress and worries affect not only our health and well-being, but also reduce our enthusiasm and joy in life. A central point in all workshops offered by the Art of Living Foundation is occupied by the breath, which is the link between body and mind.

However, we are seldom aware of our breath and use as an average only 30% of our lung capacity. Recent scientific research has confirmed that attending to the breath, yoga and meditation can significantly:

• Relieve Stress
• Strengthen the immunity system
• Relieve anxiety and depression
• Enhance brain function
• Improve concentration and efficiency
• Enhance well-being, peace of mind
• Heighten awareness and bring clearer perception
• Strengthen the immunity system

Ecological Footprint !!

Humanity needs what nature provides, but how do we know how much we’re using and how much we have to use?

The Ecological Footprint has emerged as the world’s premier measure of humanity’s demand on nature. It measures how much land and water area a human population requires to produce the resource it consumes and to absorb its wastes, using prevailing technology.

"The ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems. It compares human demand with planet Earth's ecological capacity to regenerate. It represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area needed to regenerate the resources a human population consumes and to absorb and render harmless the corresponding waste"

Our current global situation: Since the mid 1980s, humanity has been in ecological overshoot with annual demand on resources exceeding what Earth can regenerate each year.

It now takes the Earth one year and four months to regenerate what we use in a year.

We maintain this overshoot by liquidating the Earth’s resources. Overshoot is a vastly underestimated threat to human well-being and the health of the planet, and one that is not adequately addressed.

By measuring the Footprint of a population—an individual, city, business, nation, or all of humanity—we can assess our pressure on the planet, which helps us manage our ecological assets more wisely and take personal and collective action in support of a world where humanity lives within the Earth’s bounds.

Conceived in 1990 by Mathis Wackernagel and William Rees at the University of British Columbia, the Ecological Footprint is now in wide use by scientists, businesses, governments, agencies, individuals, and institutions working to monitor ecological resource use and advance sustainable development.

You can see for yourself and do some research in this field and you will realize that even a small step taken by every individual in this planet can make a huge difference in the growth of our planet .

Make a Difference in your life and also on the planet in which we are breathing !!
