It's been a while since I've posted, but it's with good reason I'm writing now, as the World Youth Congress is just a few days away and this time it's in Quebec City, Canada. But you probably already new that. ;-)

Unfortunately I won't be able to go this year, but I have a lot of friends who will be there and it's a great chance to shout out about it. Last time we were in Sterling Scotland and the vibe was quite refreshing and eye opening, learning first hand from other people that were there from all over the world. I heard some chatter from other delegates with respect to issues such as actually achieving the millennium development goals (which keep getting pushed back) or actually making a difference on a grander scale with respect to the role of the congress before the United Nations and other international organizations, .. and while this is totally credible, to me the best parts of the congress take place on the person to person level. It's about who you meet, what you talk about and what you learn. And you learn a truck load in just the few days that you are all there together, mixed up, shaken up and moved around.

While I won't be there myself, I've been helping setup a new project this year called 'meditate to regenerate' that aims to introduce meditation as a way to improve effectiveness of active projects around the world. It's practically a no-cost option that can be tried by both organizers and the audience group of any project and easily provides benefits of health and well being, attention, awareness, relaxation, sustainability and also a cool head, which we can really help everyone. Projects can be tough and trying and we're learning stuff all the time in every context and environment.

Anyway you can find out more about the project at http://www.meditatetoregenerate.com which takes you to the TIG project. We're still gearing up to the congress, but be sure to check out the About page, the blog and coming soon, some proper documentation that scopes out what the project will be providing. If you want to get in touch with the project, just write to meditatetoregenerate [at] gmail.com

Take care,
Gautama
