PHYSICAL, SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING OF WOMEN

The Fort Lauderdale Chapter of the Sant Nirankari Mission organized a first ever seminar conducted on the Physical, Social and Spiritual well-being of women. The objective of this interactive session was to bring awareness to the local communities about the Sant Nirankari Mission and also empower women to take care of their physical, social and spiritual needs.

The afternoon was packed, agenda was full and so were the attendees sitting in the room. It was a cloudy Saturday afternoon yet almost 100 people including men and women showed up for the event ready to be empowered. Some were young volunteers who facilitated several different activities from managing the publications booth, selling raffle tickets, photography, clean-up etc. Both the volunteers and the attendees were enthusiastic and enjoyed the event

There were many different activities planned for the attendees including Yoga, stress management workshop, presentations on emotional well-being, domestic violence, and spiritual well-being, Indian classical music, free health check-ups, and raffle drawings.

As Mother Teresa once said, “Do not wait for leaders, do it alone, person to person”. Hence, this effort by the saints of Fort Lauderdale with support of neighboring states was a humbling experience in bringing everyone together in one room. Events such as this will not only increase awareness but will also help women’s self-esteem, positive development, and creative expression.
