さて、このたび2日間に亘って開催されている第8回Mysuru Literature Festival。主催はマイソールにある「Mysuru Literary Forum Charitable Trust」だ。同非営利団体は、読書習慣の発展や識字率の向上などを目的として、2017 年に発足された。貧困層の教育支援をはじめ、孤児院や障害者施設の訪問と読み聞かせなどを目的としたブッククラブも結成されている。
🇮🇳”The Alchemy of Crossing Over” ignites a fireside chat with extraordinary women. Join these phenomenal women who crossed over to discover themselves after breaking conventions, turning into a fitness legend, someone finding a purpose by turning author and chronicling epic senior journeys. A yoga practitioner and author with a new book unravelling the secrets of better sleep, a seasoned hypnotherapist sharing her journey, and a Japanese national taking to India with an amalgamation of cultures, thoughts and gestures. Together, they share their thoughts on crossing over and discovering the wellspring of joy that awaits on the other side.
