The Nithya Shanti Foundation (NSF) is a not for profit organization created in 2010 to support Nithya Shanti’s aim of addressing the challenges of contemporary life through timeless teachings based on presence and compassion. The vision of the Foundation is to awaken a conscious culture based on wisdom and joy by encouraging dialogue and inquiry into what is real happiness and sharing principles a
nd practices for personal and institutional transformation. The Foundation is guided by the philosophy of being present and grateful in every situation and seeing everything that happens as a lesson for our growth and enlightenment. Through a light-hearted and joyful exploration, discovery and application of our natural wisdom, all dimensions of life blossom: there is physical, emotional, mental, social, material and spiritual wellbeing. The Foundation’s offerings include inspirational talks, happiness workshops (called "joyshops" ) and residential retreats for individuals as well as institutions. In the long term the Foundation intends to create wisdom based educational institutions, retreat and study centers for research and development in the areas of conscious living, integral healing, life purpose, and creating a planetary culture that sees everything as inherently sacred. The purpose of this page is to create an inspiring community for all our friends and well-wishers to share together and keep updated on all our events and offerings.
