Professionals Complete 2nd Year Of Oasis L3 Course At Oasis Valleys

Started in 2012, this group of friends and professionals completed its second year of the 4-year Oasis L3 course (The Philosophy, Art & Science of Living, Loving & Learning), at Oasis Valleys. The last workshop of the second year - "Learning to Love"- was conducted from 29th Aug to 1st Sept, 2013. The group consisted of 24 participants. The course is getting great heart-warming responses.

Let's see what the participants have to say about it so far....

“Transforming, Very Enlightening, Overwhelming Experience!!”

“Very Inspiring, Educating & Brain Storming Course”

Crux of reflections from participants about the two years in L3 course:

It is an excellent course

It teaches you almost everything which makes your life meaningful, happy and spiritual. Before becoming a parent one must learn the art of parenting through this course. I understood the real definition of love after coming over here. અમારી વેર-વિખેર જિંદગીને સમેટીને ફરીથી અમે એક નવી જિંદગી શરૂ કરી એવું લાગ્યું.

~ Dr. Anjana Desai

અદ્ભુત કાર્યશાળા છે

તેના દ્વારા હું બિઝનેસ અને ફેમિલી લાઇફને બૅલેન્સ કરતા શીખ્યો. તેમ જ પતિ-પત્નીનો સંબંધ મજબૂત થઈ શક્યો. જ્યારે Loveની વ્યાખ્યા શીખી રહ્યો હતો ત્યારે મનમાં એવું જ હતું કે પ્રેમ પણ કંઈ કરવાનો હોય? તે તો આપોઆપ જ થાય. પણ કાર્યશાળા પછી રિયલાઈઝ થાય છે કે તે (પ્રેમ) કરવો પડે છે અને તેમાં પણ કેટલું હાર્ડવર્ક માગે છે.

~ રાજેશ આહીર

Today, I am a better human-being

Oasis L3 Course is transforming at so many levels, internal as well as external. I can definitely say today that yes, I am a better wife, mother, daughter, professional – I am a better human-being.

~ Dr. Parul Shah

સાચો પ્રેમ કોને કહેવાય તે શીખવાની મજા આવી

આ બે વર્ષમાં L3 કોર્સથી ઘણો ફાયદો થયો છે. પ્રૅક્ટિકલી જે પરિવર્તન આવ્યું એ મહત્ત્વનું છે. હા એ અઘરું છે પણ જ્યારે પરિવર્તન આવે છે પછી ખૂબ જ આનંદ થાય છે. પ્રેમની વ્યાખ્યાથી તો ખૂબ જ મોટું પરિવર્તન આવ્યું. સાચો પ્રેમ જેને માનતા હતા તે ન હતો પરંતુ સાચો પ્રેમ કોને કહેવાય તે શીખવાની મજા આવી. દરેક સંબંધમાં પારદર્શકતા આવી.

“This two years have been radically life changing
from self to marriage to parenting to family”

“જીવનને સાવ બીબાંઢાળ રીતે જીવવાને બદલે પૂરા પ્રેમ, હિંમતથી અને ધ્યેય સાથે જીવવાનું પ્રોત્સાહન મળ્યું”

Crux of reflections from participants about usefulness of the workshop & about Oasis Valleys stay:

I have become more confident, responsible & courageous person

Things & concepts learned here have made tremendous effect & changes in my life. It has totally changed my view of looking at different situations. I have become more confident, responsible & courageous person. I cannot imagine what I would have done without L3 course. Sharing what we learn & implementing these concepts shows us immediate results, which give us more courage to tackle more and more difficult problems. Family sees changes in us and also gets inspired to take challenges themselves.

~ Viral Patel

Workshop changed my overall behavior

Overall behavior in all parameters & with all around has changed. Basically this has happened due to change in ourselves. It has brought positive changes in personal & professional interactions. We are grateful to Sanjivbhai & team for doing such extensive research & giving us such profound knowledge.

~ Apurv Rana

અમારાં બાળકો માટે અમે કદાચ રોલ મોડેલ બની શકીશું

આ વર્કશોપથી અમારા કૌટુંબિક જીવન, અમારા લગ્નજીવન તથા અમારાં બાળકોની જિંદગીમાં જરૂરથી મદદરૂપ થશે. અમે જેટલી ઝડપથી તે અમલમાં મૂકીશું તેટલું અમને પરિણામ મળશે તેવી અમને ખાતરી છે. અમે ખરેખર ખૂબ જ આનંદિત છીએ. અમને અમારા તાળાની ચાવી મળી ગઈ. અમે અમારું જીવન ઘણી જ સરસ રીતે જીવી જાણીશું. નિરાધાર જિંદગીથી અમારી જિંદગી અલગ હશે.

~ દિપ્તી પટેલ

“It is like a Light-House in troubling waters”

Crux of reflections from participants about the two years in L3 Course:

I love L3 course

First Year forced me to assess the overall life I have lived till date. It was overhauling experience. Second year gave me deep knowledge of how to handle Life in various stages & situations and make everybody feel more happy around me.

~ Tushar Dave

I understood Love deeply

The experience was excellent in last two years. I understood Love deeply. I can now understand my problems and solve them. Now I can understand people without being judgmental. I would say, Oasis L3 course should be done at least once in a lifetime, better do as early as possible.

~ Bhavna Rathod

હું ખુશ રહેતા શીખી ગઈ

અહીં વર્કશોપમાં જે કઈ શીખી છું એને કારણે ખુશ રહી શકું છું અને મારી આસપાસ પૉઝિટિવ વાતાવરણ રચી શકું છું. વર્કશોપને કારણે ઘર સાચા અર્થમાં ઘર બની ગયું. અમારાં બાળકોનાં સાચા અર્થમાં માતા-પિતા બની શકીશું.

~ પ્રતિભા પરમાર

અનુભવ તો જાણે તરસ્યાને પાણી મળ્યું હોય એવો થયો

મને પહેલાથી હતું જ કે મારે ખૂબ કાર્ય કરવું છે. પરંતુ ચોક્કસ સત્ય અને સાચા રસ્તાની શોધમાં હતો. અહીં આવ્યો તો મને ૧૦૦% સાચો રસ્તો મળ્યો છે. જેના થકી હૃદયમાં શીતળતા હશે અને સચ્ચાઈપૂર્વક જીવવામાં ખૂબ જ ઉપયોગી નીવડશે, માટે ખૂબ આહ્લાદક અનુભવ રહ્યો.

~ મહેશ પુરોહિત

Learnt to live with my heart

Through the whole course I learned many new concepts, ways to understand and love better. More than all the knowledge what I learnt, was the importance of living – with my heart.

It has helped me first to look at myself honestly for what I am. It has also helped me to understand my loved ones better.

~ Manisha Mehta

The overall experience was wonderful

Through sessions and interactions my perceptions for fundamental values regarding many aspects of life have changed. Now, I understand causes of my problems and solve them.

“I have begun to learn true meaning of Character Development”

“They are messengers of God; who taught us to love ourselves and all other”

Crux of reflections from participants about usefulness of the workshop & about facilitators:

I realized here that Life is difficult

Through this course, I have begun to learn true meaning of character development. I realized here that Life is difficult and I am responsible for me.

I am lucky to have such facilitators. Their integrity and commitment is praise worthy. I appreciate that they hardly get any credit for success we get in our lives, despite that their passion increases daily. Their strict discipline and sense of application is too good.

~ Hardik Naik

The course has changed me

I have become more responsible person. I have found a whole transformed version of me and my husband. I have become more sensitive and tender person.

Both the facilitators are our true mentors. Unable to find enough words to thank them.

~ Megha Naik

જીવન જીવવાનો દૃષ્ટિકોણ ફેરવાઈ ગયો

જ્યાં બિલકુલ ધ્યાન નહોતા આપતા તે કુટુંબ, બાળકો, જીવનસાથી, માતાપિતા – એ જ જીવનની પ્રાથમિકતાઓ છે તે સમજાયું. જેને અત્યંત મહત્ત્વ આપ્યું તે professional workમાં પણ સફળ થવા માટે કૌટુંબિક જીવનમાં સફળતા જરૂરી છે તે સમજ પડી. વ્યવસાયમાં બીજા સાથેના વ્યવહારમાં સંપૂર્ણ બદલાવ આવ્યો.

~ તુષાર દવે

I learnt that Love is the essence of Life

I learnt that I am the only responsible person for myself. My positivity has increased much more and now I can remain very happy & cheerful.

~ Raksha Desai

The course has made me sufficiently strong to face all my problems & solve them. It has helped me to grow up in my relationships in family & group around me.

~ Vaidehi Desai

Opened my eyes to Truth & Meaningful Life

The course has opened my eyes to Truth and essence of living a meaningful life.

The facilitators are amazing. The clarity with which they make us understand is fabulous. The commitment which they have towards each and every person attending the workshop is extraordinary. Such commitment and noble cause I have not seen anywhere in the world. I salute them.

~ Paresh Rathod

L3 કોર્સના કારણે હિંમત આવી જતી

હું જ્યારે બધાની સલાહોથી નિરાશા પામતી ત્યારે L3 કોર્સના કારણે હિંમત આવી જતી. અને ખૂબ જ હિંમતપૂર્વક મારા કામમાં મશગૂલ રહેતી.

હું તો કહીશ કે હરેક માતા-પિતા અને હરેક પતિ-પત્નીએ આ કોર્સ કરવો જરૂરી છે.

~ શિલ્પા પુરોહિત

My vision & understanding of True Love opened

The workshop opened my vision & understanding of True Love and Marriage. It also helped & prepared me to achieve all my goals in professional life and in what I want to do in my life. A million thanks to both facilitators for that.
