Kolkata. WB: Following the inauguration, the spotlight turned to the launch of a special silence retreat titled “LEAP” (Leadership with Ethics, Awareness, and Purpose). This initiative, a signature program under the Education Wing of the Brahma Kumaris, is designed to empower teachers and community leaders with deeper spiritual insights and practical tools to foster ethical leadership in their respective fields. About 200 BK teachers and brothers from across West Bengal took part in the training. This was the first training programme organised at the Retreat Centre.
The event was graced by BK Jayanti Behn, Additional Chief of Brahma Kumaris, BK Kanan Behn, BK Supriya, Executive Member, Education Wing, Mt. Abu and BK Ritu Thakkar, Motivational Speaker, Mumbai. The two-day retreat (Nov 9–10) brought together educators and professionals from across Eastern and Northeastern India to explore the role of spirituality in nurturing ethical and value-based leadership.
Each day began with Amritvela meditation sessions, followed by creative workshops and reflective group activities, culminating in a soulful “angelic walk” through the green campus.
Speaking on the occasion, BK Kanan Behn highlighted the vision of nurturing leaders who embody ethics, awareness, and purpose in every sphere of life. She emphasized that the new centre is envisioned as a hub to serve professionals, educators, students, youth, and industry leaders alike, offering them a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with higher values that inspire ethical action and collective growth.
