Journey #65 – Gambia

Tue May 23, 2017

Gambia is known as the smiling coast of Africa. Yeah, that can be true. A lot of people were smiling and I can see that from Sunkung Danso who hosted me during this visit. We went to several cities hosting a few meditation sessions. I took me some effort because Gambian people have never heard about meditation before. Some were reluctant to do it. However, many people tried and loved it and I had several beautiful memories from my stay there.

Journey #64 – El Salvador

Fri Apr 28, 2017

The first session was in Instituto Tecnologico Centro Americano (ITCA) in Santa Tecla. There were 288 vocational education students that will learn meditate for the first time. But the institute prepared them asking them to draw pictures about meditation and inner peace. I guided meditation for 30 minutes. And for those who meditated, it didn’t feel like half an hour. They were a bit shy in sharing their experience but some mentioned that they didn’t feel the awareness of the body and didn’t hear the voice at some point but still being able to maintain concentration the whole time.

Journey #63 – Honduras

Wed Apr 19, 2017

I visited Honduras for the first time and organized 16 meditation sessions for 787 people. I stayed in Yogas Garden, which is less than an hour drive from Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras. It is more than satisfactory to see more responses from people, organizations and the media. This visit was longer than the previous meditation events in Honduras and it allows sharing with different publics that had not been reached before. People were so interested and keep to come back session after session. Many found the charm of meditation and will establish this inner peace time habit as a part of their lives.

Journey #62 – Guatemala

Mon Apr 17, 2017

My second visit to Guatemala took me to several cities such as Antigua and Tecpan where I had a nice stay in a ranch and facilitated a meditation retreat there for three days. In addition to humans whom I guided meditation for, it was my first time to stay in a ranch seeing all those cattle and horses really up close.

Journey #61 – Costa Rica

Fri Apr 7, 2017

This was the second visit to Costa Rica. I met many people during the first visit so the second time made me feel like going back home and seeing my friends and familiar faces.

Journey #60 – Tunisia

Fri Mar 31, 2017

It was a very short trip with a lot of flights and delays. But every minute spent in Tunisia was worthwhile. MENA Salam 4 was conducted here in the hometown of the MENA princess Aya Chebbi. It was my first time to spend the whole night laying over at an airport alone when a flight I was supposed to take was cancelled. I can never forget it.
