Feedbacks:
Excellent workshop!
Just enough to induce change in behavior and way we look and react to our surrounding.
It was useful in understanding ourselves as well as others.
It will help in improving our quality of interaction with others and also lead to better group performance.
It touched us as person and nothing to do with position.

Very useful and practical workshop! I learnt that life and lives of the ones I love are HAPPENING NOW & TODAY. This is not a dress rehearsal for another life. We should live it with love NOW.
Abhijit Bose, General Manager- International Business
The character moderation, various important learning and conditionings were discussed in such a simplified manner and the examples cited were so apt to the situation that it left permanent imprint on my mind and the minds of participants.

Excellent & effective communication.
Sheebaben's teaching method is so powerful & brilliant that everything entered to the heart. Whatever she wanted to give/take from the heart, automatically heart responded. She clarifies each word, sentence with suitable examples so that participants can understand better.
Hari Singh Bisht, Marketing Executive
Workshop has left lasting impact. It was highly participative. I felt of the importance of Living Life TODAY.

Re-union after long 17 years! |
I have not expressed my gratitude towards Oasis in so many words before but have learnt that “its always better to express then not to” as you never know when you’d get another opportunity to do so…this one’s been after a long seventeen years.
It’s been quite a while having been in touch with Friends of Oasis, in fact it has been several years. Well, I still fondly remember being part of the weekly meetings at Yog Niketan and then at Friends’ Home in the company of many friends. The young mind at that age was surely “A lump of clay”, which had collected many positive impressions during the days at Oasis and which have played the role of providing the critical “Character building blocks” for so many youngsters at the selfless organization. |
There are so many of us as global responsible citizens today who I am sure will never forget the contributions of Oasis - the University of Love, Life & Friendship - as the X factor that has helped shape our lives (and those around us) in a positive manner.
I strongly believe that the many lessons learnt during the meetings/seminars have had tremendous positive impact on shaping the lives of so many young boys and girls of my age during the critical phase of adulthood. |
After I moved out of Baroda in 1993, my profession has made me travel through the corners of India and across a few countries around the world, but the foundation stones laid at Baroda and the pillars built on them remain intact!
I was pleasantly surprised by the many activities being carried out at Oasis and the dedicated selfless members who have stood by the organization over the many years and more so during the thick and thin of times. My respect for Oasis has never ever died over the years and I do not think its inherent characteristics will ever seize to exist.
It would be a pleasure getting re-united with Oasis.
