"The deeper your rest, more dynamic your activity".
-- H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

sThe Art of Living Part II program guides one on a journey deeper into one's self.... enabling the spontaneous integration of life with wisdom. We need to rest in order to be more dynamic. However, very often, when we take vacation, we come back feeling more exhausted and in the need of another one! The Part II course is vacation ,leaving us, rejuvenated and relaxed in body, mind and spirit.

Nobody has taught us how to get rid of stress. Neither in school, nor at home, has anyone taught us how to manage our emotions, feelings or mind. This is where one can take recourse in the breath, meditation and a few exercises.
