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. It's amazing to see all of these squeezed into the five-day period, well tiring but memorable.

In September 2018, I visited Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) to teach mindfulness and meditation in the 2nd Alafia Francophone fellowship. Since it's for Francophone participants, I taught in English but with French translation in all the sessions.

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.

However, many people tried and loved it and I had several beautiful memories from my stay there.

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.
