What do you think?

In the end, just three things matter -
How well we have lived
How well we have loved

Stop!

Stop telling yourself you are not enough Stop comparing yourself with anyone at all Stop examining your strengths and weaknesses Stop all those voices that constantly make you feel less. How many of us can truly say we are free from comparison and judgement? How many of us can truly say we are happy exactly the way we are? How many of us love ourselves and our lives unconditionally? Very few of us. Especially not me. Everywhere I read philosophers and healers talking about being present and loving ourself unconditionally. They say be happy, show gratitude and rejoice in other's success for it will lead you to yours. But it is not so easy - in a world that constantly compares and judges you for who you are and the choices they think you are making or not making, it is not easy to show unconditional love.

Living Story World! - Ainthinai landscape - Immersive Storytelling at Federation of Asian Storytellers Conference Sept 2026

Image
  LIVING STORY WORLD! COME ON A JOURNEY WITH ME TO TRAVEL THROUGH STORYLANDS! LIVING STORY WORLD workshop was inspired by landscape as metaphor.  Here the landscape is mapped to emotions which is taken from Ainthinai Poetics (5 Landscape poetics of the Tamil Sangam Literature).  Here the listener walks along with the Storyteller experiencing and interacting with story elements (inspired by AI & Gaming Storytelling!) How did I get this idea ?: My journey started with Ecotherapy! In 2022, I was offered a scholarship seat to do a certificate course in Ecotherapy by UK based, Buddhist charitable organisation Tariki Trust. Later I was invited to do a Diploma in Ecotherapy by founder of Tariki Trust, Caroline Brazier.  As a stoyteller I am constatntly looking at cultural connections of my stories. In that process, one of the courses that stayed with me, was connecting to the land where I live (Archeotherapy by Harriet Sams), and knowing ways in which land, landscape,so...
