It can be hard to know what to expect and this can lead to unnecessary overthinking and stress.

Navigating through changing times requires resilience, adaptability and readiness to understand the subtle balance between joy and sorrow.
The event will take place on 18 May 2024 at The Permanent Mission of India, Avenue Appia 21,1292 Pregny-Chambesy (Geneva) starting at 16:00 hrs. The discourse will be in English.
