Ho’oponopono Workshop at Raj Yoga Center
On 18th April 2024 the Lotus Healing Seva Group conducted a workshop titled “Ho’oponopono” at the Brahma Kumaris Raj Yoga Center, Nairobi. This was the second such workshop this year and came as a request from the Brahma Kumaris owing to the importance of Forgiveness in people’s lives. The earlier workshop conducted in January 2024 had catered mainly to those who preferred attending in the morning hours and several working people had requested for such an event during evening hours hence this time it was conducted during evening hours.
The workshop was conducted me, Monica Gokaldas who was assisted by LHSG Members Pratima Dutt and Harleen Gokaldas. Harleen very efficiently handled the presentation from the digital cabin which supported me as the main speaker in stressing upon certain aspects of Ho’oponopono; the Hawaiian art of forgiveness. Despite the heavy rains and traffic challenges the workshop was attended by about 80 people who keenly took notes about the significance of asking for forgiveness, being forgiving and the method of doing so.
The very cosmopolitan crowd consisting of Asians, Africans, and Americans found the art of forgiveness as a welcome complimentary discipline into their Islamic, Hindu, Sikh as well as Christian beliefs. The interactive session that consisted of a talk followed by practical Forgiveness exercises resulted in some emotional release, feelings of liberation and lightness. As I had limited time of 90 minutes I had to concise a lot from the detailed course of 3 hours, yet the impact was quite good as understood from the feedback from some participants later on.
The session ended with a short meditation conducted by BK Sister Dipti complimenting the talk about forgiving and asking for forgiveness. Sister Dipti thanked LHSG for their support and also expressed her appreciation to the participants that had braved the heavy downpour to attend the session.
Harleen then gave out forgiveness cards to all participants and Prasad was given to everyone before leaving the premises.
