Ira Institution for Learning

Heaven and earth left no stone unturned to nurture humanity and brotherhood, at Ira Institution for Learning’s 10th anniversary conference, “Healing the Social”, recently held at Vadodara.

Graced and guided by our most revered Teacher, Dr. Michaela Glöckler, it was a week of deep diving into oneself in order to meet, hold and heal our own and the other.

Attended by over 150 participants from across the world, it was many months of immaculate planning, organising and pooling in of human hearts that swelled unconditionally in response to a call to serve, spearheaded by Dr. Lakshmi Prasanna and Dr. Swapna Narendra.

A constellation of different professions, cultures and identities that rose out of a dream, a seed and belief of our mentor Dr. Lakshmi gathered and gained invaluable insights through the week.
A special magazine ‘Meraki’ was launched to commemorate the anniversary, details of which will be shared soon.

One cannot do justice and cover such an event through photographs, but here is a glimpse of the mood that still reverberates.

“World peace begins on the (nappy) changing table” - Ute Strub

How do we create and facilitate peaceful environments for our children?
What can we do to bring a healing impulse in education ?
