A new chapter of mindfulness and meditation activites in Kenya with diverse groups of poeple: artists, university students, yoga practioners, business people, and peace activists. There are some old venues I visited before as well as some new places. I also went to give an interview in a TV program.

Journey #65 – Gambia

Tuesday, 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 #60 – Tunisia

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.
