MAUREEN ROBICHAUD – Hampton, NB, Canada

Maureen is a retired nurse educator, yoga teacher and passionate community advocate. This passion has lead to many initiatives such as garden and cooking programs with children and adults through the Hampton Wellness Network, and a grandmother partnership through the Swaziland-Hampton Piggs Peak Partnership. Furthermore, it lead to a deep love and respect for the white lions and the eventual accreditation of the 13 laws.

At present, the vision is to apply and implement the 13 laws for a self esteem program for young girls, in collaboration with the WLA.

It is a space dedicated to the experience of Spirit and Nature — Nature as a teacher of the multiplicity of creative expressions of Spirit. She uses world games, nature and sense awareness games, flower messages, guided meditations, dream boards, and other tools with the aim of re-connecting and finding meaning. She also gives introduction into Auroville, a universal city in South India aspiring to realise Human Unity.  Aikya has always been searching for her true purpose in life — of finding oneness, consciousness and beauty — or the way of Creative Shakti. She enjoys working with children as they are still close to their heart and with people who are open to exploring new territories.
