Stress Management

Founded in 1981 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar,The Art of Living Foundation is a not-for-profit, educational and humanitarian NGO, operating globally in 152 countries, which is engaged in stress-management and service initiatives. The organisation's programs are guided by Sri Sri’s philosophy of peace: “Unless we have a stress-free mind and a violence-free society, we cannot achieve world peace.” To help individuals get rid of stress and experience inner peace, The Art of Living offers stress-elimination programs which include breathing techniques, meditation and yoga. These programs have helped millions around the world to overcome stress, depression and violent tendencies.The Art of Living recognizes the additional stresses women, especially marginalized women, face - thus they empower these women to meet the present challenges by providing tools and techniques that help to eliminate individual stress. A sense of community spirit is created that allows for women to conquer these similar challenges as a team rather than individually. The Art of Living encourages women to find practical solutions to their challenges so that each one becomes self-dependent in their own right. We were thrilled to have Ms. Daftary represent the Art of Living at Hamaara Sapna. The energy created by 50+ women chanting was something different and so wonderful.
