Pacific March Against Drug Abuse: United for Hope and Action
On 14th September, the streets of St. Pierre came alive with over 400 marchers — families, youth, NGOs, and community leaders — all walking together to send a powerful message: drug abuse is a collective challenge, and together, we can overcome it.
From inspiring speeches and heartfelt stories to a moving street performance and the transformative work of yoga in rehabilitation, the March reminded us that healing, resilience, and prevention begin with community, family, and care.
This was more than a walk — it was a pledge: to nurture stronger bonds, create safe spaces, and rise together as champions of hope. 💛

Today we marked the 50th episode of the wellbeing TV show "Abhyas Yog," broadcast every Saturday to raise awareness within the Mauritian community through the Bhojpuri language.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the practitioners, participants, volunteers, viewers, the dedicated team behind the camera, and all advocates of wellbeing who have made this journey possible.

We are inspired and truly humbled by the opportunities continually entrusted to us, and we look forward to your continued support as we journey through many more such transits of milestones.

As part of our nationwide Mental Wellbeing Campaign in Mauritius, Abhyas invites you to a Nature Journaling session — a space to reflect, practice, and grow.

✨ At the heart of this campaign is the essence of Abhyas — steady, consistent practice. Nature teaches us the same. When we sow a seed, it does not give fruit overnight. It asks for patience, perseverance, and care. With time and nurturing, it grows, blossoms, and finally bears fruit.

Our practices work in the same way. Each conscious step, each breath, each act of awareness may feel small — but over time, they transform us, helping us evolve into more balanced and resilient beings.

This Nature Journaling activity embodies the spirit of Abhyas.

Location: Bras D'eau National Park

Event Schedule:
08:15 AM: Arrive at Rendezvous point

Abhyas Institute of Universal Awareness is grateful for the opportunity to continue its collaboration with ER Hospitality, and deeply appreciates the company’s thoughtful and holistic approach to employee well-being.

We were honoured to come together once again for the second edition of “Stillness in the Mountains” — a gathering designed to foster moments of reconnection that support not only individual balance, but also contribute meaningfully to a more grounded and harmonious workplace culture.

Held on September 12th, the event welcomed around 40 participants from various ER Hospitality clusters. This inclusive and reflective experience offered a chance to return to the roots of well-being — in the quiet presence of nature and its ever-giving elements.

Following a gentle hike, the group arrived at the foothills of the iconic Peter Both Mountain, where they were invited to pause — to momentarily step away from the pace of daily life and digital distractions. The trail continued through the serene village of Malenga, allowing space for connection, calm, and shared stillness.

A particularly heartwarming moment unfolded at the Abhyas Centre, where the team encountered a peaceful family of cows — beings often appreciated for their grounding and nurturing presence. The unexpected sight of a newborn calf touched many hearts and gently reminded us of the simple, healing wisdom embedded in nature’s rhythms.

The experience concluded with a guided session in conscious eating — an invitation to meet food with awareness and gratitude, honouring the journey of nourishment from earth to plate.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Harsha for organising the event with such care and thoughtfulness. Her attention to detail and gentle leadership helped create a meaningful and seamless experience for all involved.

We remain sincerely thankful for the opportunity to walk alongside ER Hospitality in this meaningful journey, and we look forward to creating more spaces together that cultivate presence, awareness, and shared humanity — beyond roles, and beyond expectations.

As World Mental Health Day approaches, we are reminded that mental wellbeing is not something to honor for just one day.

It is a daily practice — one that touches every part of our lives.

Become a part of this campaign to bring people together — corporates, NGOs, and communities — because mental wellbeing is for all. Let's connects beyond roles, professions, or backgrounds.

Through this campaign, we will engage in conscious, nature-based practices:
- Responsible hikes in silence,
- Nature journaling to awaken reflection,
- Compassion in action through service of the cows,
- Community gardening to reconnect with the earth.

Each practice is rooted in presence, stillness, creativity, and awareness — simple gateways to inner change that reflect in the outer world.

This is how transformation begins — one breath, one moment at a time.
This campaign is not about changing others — it is about nurturing change within ourselves, a change that naturally flows into our families, workplaces, and communities.

This is just the beginning.

Be Receptive!

Abhyas Community gathers for the “Name Tree” Plantation 🌱

On 6th September, the Abhyas community came together for the auspicious event of the Name Tree Plantation.

What began as an offering to nature became a profound reminder: it is not nature that needs us to survive—it is we who need nature to thrive.

We were deeply honored to have Mr. Durgah and his colleague from the Forestry Service join us. They shared valuable insights on the importance of planting trees—especially indigenous species—and generously donated 10 trees to support this initiative as part of the NTPC (National Tree Planting Campaign).

Together, we planted trees as living legacies of care, experienced guided breathing practices and sound therapy, and offered seva to the cows with gratitude and compassion.

This gathering was more than tree planting—it was a grounding experience of balance, stillness, and connection, reminding us of the importance of nurturing both ourselves and the earth for the future ahead.

We extend heartfelt gratitude to all who joined and supported this meaningful initiative.
