The Art of Living Foundation, an international non-religious and non-profit organisation has held a lively and insightful session with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living and a Global Peace Ambassador.
The event was hosted by Ms Hillary Andoh, founder of HSA PR on Wednesday, August 17, 2022, at the Accra International Conference Centre. 
Guests that trooped in for the event were Mr. Sugandh Rajaram, Indian High Commissioner, Mr. Herbert Krapa, Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Alhaji Mahama Asei Saini, Deputy Minister of Health, Dr (Mrs) Anastasia Yirenkyi, Director TPMC- Ministry of Health, Nana Annor Amihere II and Mr. Fiachra McAsey, Deputy Country Representative for UNICEF.
Through an insightful and spirited talk, Gurudev provided the audience with tools to enhance mental health and provided guidance and direction on how to live a stress-free and happy life.
Gurudev also led the audience through a 27-minute meditation followed by a question and answer session.
Proceeding with the event, the Art of Living International Awards were presented to three organizations namely; Rebecca Foundation, Plastic Punch and Hacklab.
Other highlights of the evening were the introduction of the Sri Sri Tattva herbal and natural products, the Happiness program, and the SKY Campus Happiness Program. The “I Stand for Peace” pledge was taken collectively by all present.
The importance of mental health cannot be overemphasised in these times. As per the World Mental Health Report 2022, “Today we are living through a global mental health crisis. Nearly a billion people around the world, including millions of children and young people, have a mental health condition.”
The Art of Living has done exceptional work in promoting well-being - and being a part of this growing community, is a great way to equip oneself with the tools and techniques to live a happy life.
The Art of Living seeks to establish its presence in Ghana through its various programs in schools, colleges, corporates and institutions.
It aims to open Happiness Centres across Ghana where people will find food for their soul.
The Art of Living Ghana also plans to start free courses in Kumasi as well as a free prison smart program soon.
