Don't miss a chance to be inspired by a hero: Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi speaks in Seattle!



I'm incredibly excited that Kailash Satyarthi, a champion for children's rights and Nobel Peace Prize winner, will be speaking at various events in Seattle this weekend!

He is speaking TOMORROW at Microsoft Campus in Building 30 (on the eastside).

Satyarthi's story is one of courage and unwavering determination. Since 1980, he's been a leading force in the global movement to end child slavery and exploitation.

You won't want to miss hearing about his incredible work:
Leading the "Global March Against Child Labor," a monumental effort that spanned 103 countries and covered an astonishing 50,000 miles - nearly twice the Earth's circumference!
It was thismovement that led to creation of the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (1999), a landmark piece of legislation that prohibits the most egregious forms of child labor.

He personally led countless rescue operations in home country, India, saving over 100,000 children from exploitation. He and his fellow advocates have faced danger and even lost loved ones in this fight. His himself was injured multiple times during these operations.

Now, Satyarthi is on a mission to "globalize compassion."

He says, “Consciousness is the beginning of social transformation.”

What motivates him?

What fuels his unwavering dedication even after 50 years of unwavering commitment?

What are his hopes for the future of the world?

This is a rare opportunity to learn from a true hero.

Don't miss it! Please register (QR code on attached flyer) for this incredible event.

Thanks to Akhtar Badshah for making these events possible in the Greater Seattle Area.

My heart is bursting with smiles and inspiration this Friday! ️ Imagine leaving a thriving US start-up behind to dedicate 17 years to a groundbreaking mission in India. That's the incredible story of Prasanna, the CEO of Sikshana Foundation who took a handful of schools and transformed them into over 50,000 across 6 states, impacting the lives of 3.5 million children!

My connection with Prasanna Vadayar and Sikshana came through Asha for Education - Seattle Chapter, where I'm an active volunteer. Asha Seattle proudly funds this project, and I was lucky enough to visit with Pradeep Krishnaswamy and witness firsthand the immense impact of one man's vision and perseverance.

Huge props to Sudhi Gulur, the Asha Seattle project lead, for his tireless dedication and commitment to this transformative partnership!

Speaking of transformations,, visiting Sikshana and trekking to Everest Base Camp in 2023 were the two most profound experiences of my life! Two epic journeys that changed me forever. ✨️

Want to be inspired? Dive into the pictures from our Sikshana visit and listen to my conversation with Prasanna on the Mindful Leader Practices podcast. It's available on all platforms!

Our Retreat is here...a few seats remaining...join if you can

Our minds are bombarded with constant input. Our bodies are overworked and underappreciated. Our hearts are afraid to open up as the world continues to become a scarier and crazier place.

To be lit up again, feel integrated and aligned in the entire self - where the mind, body and heart can play together in harmony. The soul dances with joy! This is what this RETREAT is about. In this refuge, you will feel both relaxed and alive. Awakened and nurtured! It is a day to leave everything behind and step into being YOU.

Expect a day full of yoga, pranayama, meditation Ayurveda tips, mindfulness in daily living and tasks, activities to discover YOU and lot more curated to let mind be away from daily routine and just felt recharged.
