We live in a world which is often chaotic, stressful and where many people live their lives in situations which are out of their control. By developing skills, primarily through the means of meditation and workshops, people can learn to be less reactive to emotions, stress and challenging external environments and instead become proactive towards real and meaningful world change.

• To promote tools of non-violent communication and peace-building that can be applied to all cultures, religions and professions.
