Live From Gandhi Ashram

As a young lawyer in South Africa, after being thrown out of the train for his skin color, Gandhi spent the night at the train station shivering with cold and intensely struggling with his reaction. Rather curiously, he later called it "the most creative night of my life". A unique kind of "soul force" awoke in him, that would lead him to conclude that "in a gentle way, you can shake the world."

On Jan 17th (and 18th), you are invited to join us for a "live from the Gandhi Ashram" stream -- featuring a performance by kids studying at the Gandhi Ashram, global luminaries, inspiring singers and storytellers, alongside a few surprises that aim to ignite this subtle but significant force of compassion. Among our speakers (and guest listeners) would be a entrepreneur who mainstreamed impact investing; an elected UK politician visiting his Indian roots after 4 generations; a Kashmiri educator of orphaned girls who has withstood 19 assasination attempts with 'witnessing' as his only defense; a farmer who has popularized permaculture in Vietnam; a goose-bump inducing European singer who left a career with Celine Dion to chant for the world; a teen housecleaner who grew into one of Forbes' 50 Greatest World Leaders; philanthropists who have signed Gates's Giving Pledge but are now reflecting on multiple forms of wealth; multiple bestselling authors, one of whom Oprah frequently credits with changing her life and many more, all resonating with a simple organizing principle: "We are not merely what we do, but who we become by what we do."
