Katrien

Katrien has dedicated her time to teaching inmates around the world. The techniques taught on the Prison Program have transformed the lives of many, bringing new hope and new life.

She shares: "In my first Prison Program in Belgium, now more than one year ago, I met a man named Marco. He practices sadhana (the breathing practices) since he has done the course. Among other things, he wants to travel to testify about the change in his life and the value of The Art of Living practices and knowledge. I have personally been touched by his humanness in an inhumane system and by his sincere longing for goodness, non-violence and love."

"I wish what you wish for: inner peace, inner strength, inner love, understanding and a future. I live in the present. All I care about now is love, life, and The Art of Living and the possibility to have a second chance maybe one day." - Marco, a transformed inmate

M.,
age 26
“I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

“I’ve been suffering from a loss of concentration, weak memory and extreme anger. Now I feel as if something heavy has been lifted from my back.”
Course Participant

“I found that this training of breathing is so useful and its benefit shows when I do it. I feel that my heart is stronger and younger. When I can’t sleep I just do the breathing and I feel energy in all parts of my body.”
Dr. Venus

“I feel peace with myself and have less stress. I think if I continue with the practice, this feeling of peace will continue to grow.”
M. Ali Bankat

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”
