I did my first AUM marathon in 1990. It was my second group at the Humaniversity.

During the marathon we did the AUM Meditation in different variations. Sometimes it was longer, sometimes it was shorter, and the order of the stages could be all mixed up. Once we even did it backwards. I experienced who I was beyond the limitations of my mind and my personality. I felt very alive.

It was very important to feel the support and care of everybody. This helped me to go beyond my limits. It was really beautiful to feel oneness and unity at the most unexpected moments even in the "negative feelings" stages.

In the AUM I really experienced what it means to live in the moment and be totally here and now. I love marathons and cannot wait to co-lead the next one with Geetee.

The WOW is an amazing experience where you can find out about yourself: How to get more out of life, how to expand, how to feel how you can be total. We create that special setting so that you can go inside and see: Who are you?

Listen to Isha's passionate and warm description of what the WOW means to her:

"I want to give the wisdom of the things I have learned. I want to see the light beaming through peoples eyes, see them happy, relaxing, becoming more human, warm and sparkling.

It is such a transformation that happens in this month, it is so rewarding. And I am here to guide and support you and to be your friend."

I see fear as one of the main roots of conflicts in our relationships, whether it’s working or love relationships, or in the way we relate with our friends and family. Because of fear we don’t dear to be ourselves and to be open. Instead, we feel we have to keep our guard up.

Without fear, who would you be? If you take away the fear you become the person you dream of being. You may admire or envy some qualities in other people and don’t realise you also have these qualities – you just don’t dare to step out of your box and live them. 

We live in interesting times and, as Bob Dylan would say, 'the times they are a-changing!'  Coming Together is a special 12 day opportunity to evaluate how you are doing in life and what you would like to manifest and experience next year. It is also a time for appreciation gratitude and celebration!

World war II and the Holocaust was over.

We loved to play and climb in the many ruins which was strictly forbidden for us post-war kids. I was born in 1950 and spent my first ten years in the coal mining and steel production district of Germany (“Ruhrpott”). I remember the emaciated devastated pallid withdrawn P.O.W.`s repatriated from Russia and Siberia. Some of them hardly ever talked again and shut down emotionally and socially like one of my uncles who had been accused of war crimes in Poland but had a narrow escape from being hanged because his slave workers stood up for him. Another irascible uncle threatened his family by his sudden unexpected hyper aggressive outbreaks of choleric attacks and excessive anger. He imposed mayor psychological burdens on his terrified spouse and son.

25 years later psychiatrists started to call these conditions post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
