“I don't really know what happened, because it's as if I wasn't there when it occurred. I mean, I was there, but I was nothing more than just there. Sitting. Breathing. Not hearing coughs. Not hearing feet shuffling. Not even hearing silence. I was awake. I was conscious. It wasn't that hard. I was peaceful. I was meditating.”

“I was amazed by how just closing our eyes together for eighteen minutes could bring a crowd of strangers closer together than hours of conversation. It did not matter what faith we came from, or whether we had any faith at all. It did not matter if we had years of experience of meditating, or none at all. The experience was pure, real, and human.”

Uma Berlin

“The lights dimmed. At [Sri Sri’s] direction, the audience chanted the syllable ‘ohm.’ It was a powerful sound, loud but soothing. Then a cellphone briefly chirped, but even that did not ruin the moment. The theater, already quiet, somehow seemed to become quieter. At least for a few minutes, all was at peace.”

Honoring our Heroes: Prioritizing Healthcare Workforce Well-being

National Geographic Auditorium Washington D.C. 
May 5th, 2022 | 9:15a-12p ET

Sponsored by: Children’s National Hospital, Art of Living Foundation, National Geographic Television

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of our healthcare workers and exacerbated worrisome trends of increasing burnout. While healthcare workers were applauded as “heroes,” heroes are human and fragile, and our health systems and society must value and prioritize their well-being. 

The future of public health depends on it. On the heels of President Biden’s signature of the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, join thought leaders, innovators, and global humanitarian Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to find out what we can each do to support the health of those who keep us healthy.

This event is by invitation only.

"Life Changing"

"Art of Living may be the fastest growing spiritual practice on the planet"

"the fastest, most efficient tool for mental health"

"If traditional meditation makes you anxious, you need to try SKY Breath Meditation"

“I was much healthier right away”

I was very ill. The medication and the actual illness were very disturbing to the mind. The only thing that helped me other than allopathic medicine was pranayama. It was a complete change...I was much healthier right away. My mind became clear and I became more comfortable in my body. Also, people commented on my skin all the time, so I think it helped with anti-aging. That's a benefit.

“...I sleep at night”

It’s been night and day. On a completely practical level, I sleep at night. And I don’t have to take a handful of meds to do it.

“Come to Work in a Better Mindset”

When I come to work (after doing my practices), having already centered myself, it's way easier to plan... delegate tasks to other people, or work with other people. Now I come to work in a much better mindset, and that in turn translates into the quality of work and the way I deal with people at work. Just the way I process emotions, thoughts, and feelings is different from before.
