NURTURED BY NATURE

The Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Madhuban, at Ramgarh, Nainital, is a paradise in the true sense of the word, built in the loving memory of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh and the Mother (formerly known as Mirra Alfassa). The beautiful valleys, flowers, insects, bees, birds, sunrise, sunset, and crisp mountain air are so inviting that anyone who visits this place has trouble leaving. The atmosphere of Madhuban is filled with love and inspiration. No wonder, many writers and poets penned their seminal compositions over here. When Editor Shivi Verma told me to moderate Healing in the Hills-a residential healing retreat-in Ramgarh, I felt super excited and happy. I couldn't have been more grateful to her for this opportunity. Although we had a smaller group of participants for this event, the contentment and happiness on their faces was unmistakable.

Even the facilitators felt that they could have not chosen a better venue to conduct their sessions. Such is the charm of this place that, once, even Rabindranath Tagore chose Madhuban as his writing haven. The seven-day Healing in the Hills residential retreat was divided into three workshops, two days dedicated to each.

I inaugurated the festival by introducing the facilitators and announcing the first workshop (EFT), which was followed by a light-humoured welcome note delivered by Mr S D Saxena, a senior advisor with Life Positive.
