At last week's Awakin Circle in Warsaw, we had lots of surprises -- starting with having Jin Wei and Nipun from California!

We closed the circle with a gorgeous song, Gracias a La Vida, sung by Anna. Growing up with many challenges, living in a basement while raising two kids, Anna was barely staying afloat with life's constant demands. Yet, music was her passion and her refuge. One day, she spontaneously heard a beautiful song from the inner recesses of her mind. Or maybe from elsewhere. She was deeply mesmerized by it, but before she could fully hear it, the song left her. She prayed for the song to return, but to no avail. Still, she kept praying to be an instrument for that song and vibration. Eight months later, she heard it again. This time, in full.

Here she is closing our Awakin circle with that song ...



During the couple days of local ServiceSpace activities, Anna experienced repeated goosebumps, tears, and joy -- as she selflessly served alongside all of us.
