Garden Meditation Day - May 3

One of the things that can soothe the best mind in life is to cultivate a garden. It does not matter if it is in the yard of a private house or on the balcony of an apartment, a green garden is peaceful and contributes to health and the more well-kept it is, the better. The quiet dripping sound of the water, the buzz of the insects pollinating the flowers, the chirping of the birds among the trees, it all makes you feel like you have a piece of mid-life paradise. So what better place to sit and relax and meditate?

Garden Meditation Day encourages us to take time and enjoy our decency by connecting to our self.

Garden Meditation Day was developed by C.L., known as "Lady Garden" from www.gardenlady.com. At her site you will see her great devotion to the wonders of the plant world and the wonderful things we can do in our home with gardens. She believes that gardens can help connect us to ourselves and the natural world, and also to each other in deep and exciting ways. That is why she decided to set up a whole month of holidays in honor of the gardens, and the day of meditation in the garden is one of those days.

Gardens have a long history that is found in every country and time period around the world. Throughout history gardens have been used for many purposes, from simple backyard gardens used as playgrounds for family games and parties, to extensive and complex gardens, designed just and called 'official gardens', such as gardens of royal and noble families that were a magnificent display of their high status.

Even if you have a small and modest garden, the green it brings into your life can give you lots of peace in the middle of the stressful day activities and the meditation day in the garden is designed to sit you in your garden and relax through meditation.

How to celebrate Meditation Day in the Garden?

Meditation has a long history as a way to calm our minds and spirits, and garden meditation truly connects you to nature and humanity at the same time. You can enter the garden for a private moment of self-observation, or you can join others in meditations in public gardens organized all over the world. Want to spread the love of gardening and maybe show off a little in your garden? You can organize a meditation in your private garden and invite friends and family to come and join you for a day of relaxation and peace of mind.

Back to school day- September 1

September 1 is the day many parents wait for during July and August: the day the children return to school. 

In most countries of the world, the school period starts on September 1 and lasts for 10 months, until the summer vacation, after which the children return to school and go to a class or kindergarten. Not only do the parents miss the school, many children also feel during the summer vacation that they have exhausted it and are bored with it and they miss the educational framework already. 

Did you know? Children say in the summer vacation "I'm bored" an average of 196 times a day.

So who invented the school? 

The idea of grouping students together in a central place to teach them existed in antiquity. 

In Athens, ancient Greece existed Plato Academy founded in 385 BC. Before that, in ancient India, the Gorgol was already in existence in the second millennium BC, and in ancient China it was the Shang Ziang School, also in the 2000 BC.
