In a world that constantly demands us to do more, achieve more, and be more, we often lose sight of our intrinsic value. Our self-worth becomes tangled with societal expectations, accomplishments, and external validation. The secret to rediscovering one’s self-worth isn’t in doing at all, but in simply being!

The simple yet profound act of being is where self-worth begins to flourish. Meditation, a timeless practice of quieting the mind, is the path that leads us there.

Meditation and the Journey Within

As Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar beautifully says:

When you are in touch with yourself, you realize how precious and valuable you are. True self-worth arises when we shift our focus from the outside world to the inner world.

Meditation allows us to pause and reconnect with our authentic selves. It takes us beyond the roles we play and the noise of external opinions. By simply closing our eyes and turning inward, we realize that our worth doesn’t come from accomplishments or others’ perceptions, it comes from within.

In a society that often equates value with productivity or perfection, meditation reminds us: You are enough just as you are.

Why Women Need This Space to ‘Just Be’

Women, in particular, juggle countless roles—as professionals, mothers, caregivers, leaders, and nurturers. While striving to meet expectations, many often forget to care for their own well-being. This constant pressure can leave women feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.

The International Women’s Conference 2025 is a safe space where women from all walks of life can pause, breathe, and simply be! Through enriching conversations, meditation sessions, and wisdom from global thought leaders, participants will explore the art of cultivating self-worth, inner strength, and joy.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says:

A calm mind and a joyful heart are the real signs of self-worth. You do not need anyone else to validate you—meditation is the tool that helps you recognize your own brilliance.

By immersing in meditation, women can break free from self-doubt, unlock their inner potential, and rediscover the joy of being comfortable in their own skin. It is a journey of empowerment that begins with stillness.

What Awaits You at the Conference

The International Women’s Conference promises a deeply transformative experience. Set amidst the serene beauty of the Art of Living International Centre, the event brings together inspiring speakers, thought-provoking discussions, music, and guided meditation sessions. It’s a unique opportunity to reconnect with yourself, gain clarity, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth.

Imagine being part of a global community, where every woman is celebrated for who she is, just not for her achievements, but for her very presence. This is the essence of ‘Just Be‘.

A Call to ‘Just Be’

Self-worth is not something we find outside, it is cultivated within. Meditation is the bridge that takes us there, it quiets the mind, expands the heart, and helps us realize our innate value.

As Gurudev says:

The best gift you can give yourself is a few moments of silence every day. In that silence, you will see how beautiful you are.

Join us at the International Women’s Conference 2025 and embark on this journey of inner discovery. Let us meditate, connect, and uplift one another as we rediscover our worth.

Mark your calendars for February 14th-16th, 2025, at the Art of Living International Centre, Bengaluru. Together, let us create a world where every woman knows her worth, where every woman thrives simply by being herself.
