She is truly one of the best examples of being the change that you want to see in the world. At almost 90 years old she has incredible energy and a full-on schedule of meetings overseeing the organisation’s 7,000 centres. By any standard that is inspiring, but it is not just her accomplishments that make her a role model, it is the power of her presence. Dadi (means elder sister) is a world-renowned spiritual leader reaching audiences of thousands on one day and meeting Presidents and Prime Ministers the next. (more about Dadi overleaf). THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THIS EVENT BRAHMA KUMARIS WORLD SPIRITUAL UNIVERSITY The Brahma Kumaris are a wonderful resource in this time of great change. Formed in India in 1936, the global movement is run by women as a multi-faith educational network to teach people of any religion spiritual knowledge. Their belief is that if we can learn to manage ourselves better and understand our true nature then we will have a far better chance of discovering joy, happiness and inner peace. Peace in the world will simply be an extension of who we are being rather than what we are doing. I have had the privilege to visit the BK headquarters in India to benefit from the incredible education programmes they offer for free. My aim in cohosting this day is for you to connect with Dadi Janki so she can be a resource in your life too.

The world is on a trajectory of very fast change. A new world order has the potential to be created, indeed that seems to be heading our way whether or not we choose to take part. What kind of ‘better world’ do we want to see replace the one we have? What kind of role would we like to play in this unfolding future? How can we prepare ourselves and our children? the new world she said “Women should make their home as heaven”. She emphasised that change starts in the home and reminded me of the valuable contribution women can make simply at home. What a wonderful concept, to create heaven on earth in this way. Her insight has since called me to action. I now host Women’s Wellness Retreats at my healthy home in Yorkshire. I share practical ways to create heaven at home and work alongside a teacher from the Brahma Kumaris who provides the spiritual education in the programme. Women have natural skills that the world needs more of: compassion, nurturing, caring, listening, sharing and networking. We have the capacity to provide leadership in midwifing a new world into being, offering partnership to the current masculine approach. We can help male-dominated systems to embrace more feminine ways that will serve society, organisations and governments better. I encourage you to clear your diary for the afternoon of November 8th.. Bring other women. Let’s get together in the presence of this incredible woman and share how we think we can help create a better world - together. See you in London then!! When a group of nearly 200 of us gathered in May this year to meet Dadi Janki we had profound discussions and many deep and meaningful connections were made. Many women have since gone on to utilise the many resources that the BKs provide. This day in November will be equally wonderful and I know we will develop further the conversations we started then. Join us again! Dadi Janki has been a real inspiration to me. Although she did not know my life’s work is teaching people about healthy homes, when I asked her what role women should play in creating Gina Lazenby’s Healthy Home & sacred space in Yorkshire, the venue for We)ness Retreats DADI JANKI - AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN With her relentless love, deep com- passion and humour, and extraordinary energy, Dadi Janki has been described as having the most stable mind on the planet. If in the youth of our 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and even 70s, we can learn from Dadi’s practical example of love, service and living by values, then we can undoubtedly make a difference in the world. Not only has Dadi overseen the expansion of the BK World Spiritual University activities to nearly 90 countries, she also heads the Janki Foundation for Global Healthcare. Since her early 20s and with no formal education, Dadi traveled India teaching self-reliance and empowering women to be leaders in their communities. In the 1930s she became one of India’s first female spiritual teachers.
