I participated in the "Call of the Time" program in May. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I met excellent instructors and colleagues, made new friends, and, perhaps most importantly, refreshed some of my knowledge, gained new perspectives on the world, and adopted some new life habits. I commend everyone involved: the wonderful people who welcomed us, the instructors, the accommodations, the food, and the exceptional treatment we received. "Call of the Time" brought a lot of happiness and relaxation into my life.

I’ve been to two retreats at Global retreat centre. I stayed over two night on one retreat. I just want to say that it was 5* accommodation and wonderful food.. the talks were full of BKs wisdom and lighthearted fun. I came away feeling lighter in my heart and soul. I really changed my outlook on a lot of parts of my life and really feel grateful that this charity is doing such great retreats. The BKs work tirelessly and quietly in community all over the world.. empowering people to be the best versions of themselves. If you haven’t experienced this, yet, check out the schedule and book onto a day retreat.. excellent!

Currently I have personally referred more than 37 persons within a space of 3 weeks, whereby they’re earning and withdrawing their profits on a weekly basis with the aid of a true, legitimate, valid and trustworthy Account Manager MRS TAISHA CARSON from Texas in USA🇺🇸. TAISHA CARSON is the only broker who I’ve worked with and truly got my pay as I deposited $1000 that yielded a huge outcome of $12,750 which I successful withdrew directly to my bank account within 7days. I vowed to testify to the universe about MRS TAISHA CARSON life-changing Services. “The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty."

Bu dünyaya ölmek ve yeni bir yaşama merhaba demek mümkün. Üstelik bunu yapabileceğiniz bir de cennet mevcut. Ben bir ay kadar sefasını sürdüm, yenilendim ve şifalandım. Kısmetinizde varsa size de nasip olsun dilerim.

I have been coming here more years than I care to think about- it's a wonderful place, with even more wonderful people. I have always had difficulty meditating before I came here, and they sorted that out for me no problem. I can never thank you enough- especially Matthew, who was really helpful.

Thought for Today

Mastering the Art of Connection

Success in life often hinges on our ability to connect with others. We commonly find ourselves adjusting our attitudes and responses based on someone else's behaviour, usually waiting for them to change first.

However, mastering the art of connection means recognizing and valuing others' unique qualities. When we do this, our success doesn't depend on their behaviour. Instead, we learn to see and embrace the positive aspects of each individual, enriching ourselves with every interaction. This approach not only fosters personal growth but also builds meaningful connections.
