The seeds of Awakin continue to blossom in lands far and wide.. Everywhere we journey, Khushmita and I seek to leave behind a few seeds from our bountiful ServiceSpace eco-system so that goodness may thrive in time.. Last week, we hosted two circles in Turkey (in Izmir with 6 folks and in Istanbul with 12 folks)..  So many folks ended up hugging us with tears in their eyes at the end of the evening as this was one of the first times they had sat with strangers in silence..

For a few, it was also the first time they were sitting with themselves alone.. And now they are looking to make it a weekly feature in the community. There is a strong interest all over the world in our work at SSp and MBL... There is talk of a Karma Kitchen and Turkish smile cards in the air too... Gratitude for being the family that put me on the path.
