Sandhi Institute

I just saw an article about my friend Oyporn - I met her few years ago on a course on Feminism and Buddhism in Thailand and was very touched by her commitment - to heal herself as well as to contributing to the healing of women and the world at large. I just came across the below article on her life and work and want to share it with you:

I am in Holland now and am preparing myself for some exciting events in Uberlingen, Germany at the end of this month. Here, I am offering a two day introduction to Nonviolent Communication (30th-31st of August). And an evening fundraising presentation about Sandhi Institute's work in Sri Lanka on Fri evening, 31st of August. If you are interested in attending either of these, send us an email by clicking on the above "contact" link.

I am on my way back to Colombo after a long visit to the US where I first joined the training team for the Living Peace retreat with Miki Kashtan and others from BayNVC. It was a great experince, even though I was predictably jet lagged!
