Tagaytay City (Phillippines): A “Healing Journey of Peace” retreat was organized at the Brahma Kumaris Retreat Center in Tagaytay City in the Philippines. It was attended by 160 participants, and brought together 51 first-timers, whose ages ranged from 19 to 64 years old.
In an intensive discovery of the basic tenets of Raja Yoga, they were able to experience their true identity as souls, connect with God in all relationships, and practice meditation as a healing process. Many found the non-judgmental and accepting approach of the retreat welcoming, and they reciprocated with openness to the experiential learning process. They expressed amazement at how their lives could change in just three days, as they inculcated thoughts about the soul, God, and the virtues of peace, happiness, self-respect, serenity, inner wisdom and love of God. Having found what they had been looking for, the need to let go of all body consciousness was one of the most striking realization as they committed to practice what they have learned back at their workplaces and homes.
