The weekend I spent with monks.

Last weekend I got an excuse to visit Malawi. I was one of 20 selected participants to attend Amandla Peace Fellowship by the World Peace Initiative from 25th to 27th March.






What exactly does that mean?

Well, the World Peace Initiative is an organisation that seeks to attain peace through Inner Peace. They believe that mindfulness will outer peace stems from inner peace hence help people achieve that. Visit peacerevolution.net for more information.


How do you get selected?

To be eligible you have to complete the Self Development Program(which is available on the website). In addition to that leadership experience and passion for change will definitely boost your application. It has no affiliation with religion.

How was the fellowship?


My favorite question, it was great! I learnt a lot from monks about mindfulness. While there, I got to read the book "Search Inside Yourself" by Chade-Meng Tan. The concepts of meditation may sound simple and naive but they are really useful. Further benefits include improved concentration, stress management among many others. Ialso met inspiring African leaders, from yoga instructors to PhD holders in Engineering. Strangers turned to friends in a couple days. Fun was definitely had. Pictures speak louder than words, so ...

Definitely gonna stay in the mindfulness wagon.
