The Theme Of Art of Living’s International Women’s Conference 2025
This year, Art of Living’s International Women’s Conference presented the theme of “Just Be.” Through the theme, the conference explored the many secrets of the mind and consciousness. The theme takes from these beautiful lines penned by the global spiritual master Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, which reads: “Just Be / True joy is going beyond your identity / Real rest is going beyond your desires / Mature love is feeling the oneness / Relax… and Just Be! / Events are transitory / Pick up the wisdom and be free!”
At the conference, the participants had the opportunity to have meaningful conversations, meditative experiences, and memorable heart-to-heart interactions with Gurudev around various facets of the mind and consciousness through the lens of leadership, entrepreneurship, technology, and arts.
