My experience - Michael Aboneka

Finding Me!

It is not always common to have opportunities such as the one I recently had at the young male leaders’ retreat where the essential reason for the meeting was for me to meet me. This is powerful, having a conversation with myself concerning, about and around me! Discussing Chakras with clear non-fictitious illustrations and self-reflection was a very big win for me in 2019. I had an idea on who I was before, the things I was able to do, the energies and capacities but until I went to this retreat, I hadn’t realized that there was much more I did not know about myself. I felt more grounded to continue with my passions and interests in all spheres of my life, to continue loving and caring not only about the world but also me!

The discussions about Chakras, all of them interconnected were eye opening to the soul! Yes, my soul can now see much deeper than before. An Organization with a soul is one of the ringing bells that I hear every day. Imagine a world where all organizations (any group of people) had a soul-in the way they treat people, handle their work among others-the world will be a better place. As a leader and an activist, I now take it serious to ensure that my organizations and organizings have a soul-that one will be touched with what we do and contribute! I am heavily invigorated and wish I can have this kind of retreat over and over and over again. What a great Chakractic retreat it was meeting young people across all fields…yes, I have new additions to my contact list too! My life, way of work, way of looking at things has never been the same thanks to the team at CivSource Africa for having a soul!
