1 Butterfly Connection Development of young Leaders Activities Report 2-5 November Serra Negra A good analogy Inspiration Space for the leader connection Experiences

2 A Good Analogy It is in the silence that lots of things happen! Things get new shapes, shapes become deep and solid or just loose its initial shape to come along with something new, unique, special. These magical beings which carry in their wings a distinctive unicity, being at the same time so beautiful and inspiring to the world s surroundings. In a very slow and quiet process they evolve from caterpillar to cocoon, and then reshape as butterflies which take off right after carrying away a history of learning and self-development, which they share in a light, trifling and happy way in every place they pass by. As Caterpillars, they feed themselves in a voracious and incessant way, nourishing and preparing for many days to draw in the cocoon, in a period of complete introspection and chemical and physiological transformation in a period of silence and cuddle of the being they were, the being they are and the one they will become. From the chrysalis, a butterfly grows, a being which now has its ultimate shape, its mission and welldefined role in nature. A being that goes around the world, from one flower to another, nourishing itself and taking up the best of them: the nectar, God s meal. Huge or small, some more colorful than others, butterflies carry life, a new beginning and the maintenance of a process to many gardens around the world. Pollinating here and there, they enable the emergence of fresh, species development and also the perpetuation of what exists, what s good and beautiful. So are the young: they nourish themselves from the most different sources, studying, getting involved with projects, meeting people, developing ideas, the most distinctive and varied as possible, so that as time goes by, while they blossom, they make choices with more conscience and certainty, not only based on experiences they had, but mostly, according to their values and their motivation urge.

Inspiration Butterfly Connection is a meeting of young leaders who are identified with a desire of helping the world and who are also invited to look for their inner motivation, strengths and talents.

They are also connected with himself and with the call of the world, working for the Self and to the others.

3 Inspiration Butterfly Connection is a meeting of young leaders who are identified with a desire of helping the world and who are also invited to look for their inner motivation, strengths and talents. This is all because a new leadership style is emerging. They are leaders who understand the present leadership models and know how to work with outward resources and with people. They are also connected with himself and with the call of the world, working for the Self and to the others. Someone who is a servant of their values, who identifies their call and work in harmony with it, is replacing the leader who aims to serve exclusively him or just the other. "At this moment, when we look at the condition of the world, many of us have the desire to serve the world. But if our own mind is affected by the world s condition, we cannot truly serve the world. A mind filled of anger or sadness is not capable of service." Dadi Janki BKSU

Participants Reports In our day by day we don t have time to give us time. To think about us, about what we are doing, why do we behave in a certain way and how we can improve it.

5 Participants Reports In our day by day we don t have time to give us time. To think about us, about what we are doing, why do we behave in a certain way and how we can improve it. And each day I discover myself as someone in a process of growth and transition, even with my affliction and crisis, that s why I always try to keep myself well-balanced. The event helped me to have more certainty about what I want to do, and I know that it is not an utopia, because the transformation happens in details in our day by day. The Butterfly is a space where people have time to think about themselves. In this crazy world the existence of opportunities like this is essential. It s necessary to hear our inner voice quietly, to feel connected and vibrate in the same frequency of nature. The silence day was magic. Hearing quietly our inner sound, to feel connected. I believe that when we meditate we raise our consciousness level. It was great to get to this practice.

6 CONNECTION Seek inside me Something that involves me That brings reflection To know what path may I follow Who follow ways of great transformation Not only individual ones, but also collective. Seek inside me Something that strengthens me That unlocks doors to me That shows me ways That don t follow alone I look for wisdom I look for knowledge I look for companionship To be with me Companions fighting for more equality People who think about peace, but also practice in actions. Who believe in revolution But who also struggle to transform it in actions. Reflection, meditation and self-knowledge Something I didn t practice, but I needed to go ahead. Butterfly Connection gave me the opportunity of thinking about myself Left with uncertainties That would certainly help me.

7 Butterflying My steps, Floating, Take me up the floor My smile, Contagious, Disseminate happiness My look, Deep, Transmits certainty And my wings Flittered Take me wherever God wants I close my eyes And connect myself. And all I think, is: Oh, how heavenly! This Butterfly Connection is
