In
200 000 years on Earth humanity has upset the balance of the planet,
established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay
is high, but it is too late to be a pessimist, humanity has barely ten
years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its
spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of
consumption. By bringing us unique footage from over 50
countries, all seen from the air, by sharing with us his wonder and his
concern, with this film Yann Arthus-Bertrand lays a foundation stone
for the edifice that, together, we must rebuild.

Theme of Discussion
Global Awareness...
or how to live as World Citizens
...What is world citizenship means from spiritual perspective?
...What virtues and values required from each of us?
...How global awareness and world citizenship are linked to each other? "I feel that we should not only maintain gentle, peaceful
relations with our fellow human beings bur also that is very important
to extend the same kind of attitude toward the natural environment. We
need to teach people that the environment has a direct bearing on our
own benefit."
~ The Dalai Lama ~ “You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.”
~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau ~ "The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."
~ Thomas Paine ~
"If
I knew something that would serve my country but would harm mankind, I
would never reveal it; for I am a citizen of humanity first and by
necessity, and a citizen of France second, and only by accident"

Testimonials
"Virtues
give guidelines to my life, security to make decisions, as life is full
with choices we have to make in every second. What else could give more
trustful advice than virtues? The Virtue WithiinWorkshop means a lot to
me, because I love meeting and learning from people with different
walks of life. Life is a miracle and I learnt how to discover that in
my everyday life. The Virtue Workshop creates a remedial atmosphere,
where I can put my heart to recover. I have studied philosophy,
psychology, cultural studies but these are only rough information until
you revive them. These vivid, relaxed workshops always charge me up,
and make me feel that I have a place to go with my thoughts, questions
and feelings. They motivate me to think further and open up for new
ideas without fear. I highly suggest the Virtue Workshops to everybody;
especially to those who feel there is something to share from mind,
spirit or soul, who are seeking the essence of life and who are willing
to work for it. The Virtue Workshops undoubtedly provide an energetic,
supportive and receptive atmosphere for people who want to learn more
about their inner-self.”
Krisztina Gyure (31) VAT Specialist
"Balazs
nicely comforted me that the whole idea of adulthood is just an
illusion, because time & money are not the qualities that are
important in pursuing one's life to its fulfillment. I realized that
it was spirituality, which was missing in my life's puzzle. Now I
finally feel I am a real human being, a spiritual kind of this Earth.
And I am finally feeling complete. Nothing is missing in my life. I
just see my path of life and a lot of work in front of me. There is no
right or wrong, it is not that I was lost before, but rather I was not
doing what the most important was to me, and this was a horrible
feeling. Now I know I have to be honest with myself."
Zuzana Vankova (27) Sales Executive
"To
me the Virtues Within Workshops are about a melting pot of ideas and
perspectives towards awareness necessary in dealing with the societal
changes coming our way. I have and continue derive inspiration from
each virtue workshop run by Balazs Heller who conducts these workshops
with a wonderful sense of inclusion, respect and non-judgmental
guidance. I come away from each workshop feeling richer even though I
share ideas, which I normally would not have entertained. In these
Virtue Workshops I always get a sense of unity and fellowship amongst
disparate individuals. Balazs has a vibrant optimistic energy
guaranteed to awaken you out of your comfort zone in a non-judgmental
supportive environment. I recommend the virtue workshops to anyone open
to new ideas seeking new solutions, both on an individual and community
levels.
Siavash Sefidvash (51) IT support engineer
"These
Virtue Within Workshops always seemed to be a very good idea for me.
Great thoughts, important conclusions came up on these events. Some of
them are important topics in my current life, some are just good ideas
to think about and coming from somewhere else but the point is that
it's always worth to think about them. First to see the circumstances
how these "issues" turn up then to see what they mean and finally how I
can build into my everyday life. It's a process like studying new and
useful things. I can offer these Virtue Workshops to everybody who
would like to study more things about life, about himself and the
reason why it's worth to live a full life."
Adam Braun (31) Logistics coordinator, Unilever Ireland
"Perhaps
you believe you are aware of the difficulties in your life. Perhaps you
feel you can handle them. You know who you are, where you are and why
you are there. You have strong views about life and things in the
world. Perhaps you think you do not need anybody to advice you or to
explain you anything. I am one of these people. Still when I heard
about the Virtue Within Workshops by Balazs, I decided to give a try.
Partly because I was curious what would happen, partly because the
topics announced by him seemed mostly to be interesting to me. And,
indeed, it was quite appealing. In fact, Balazs invested time and work
in the workshops: he prepared a list of quotations for all topics. Some
I found better, some I found a cliché but the quotations gave a good
start and basis to the group discussions anyway. The workshops ended
with a summary of the lessons we could have learned from each other and
from the discussion. Sometimes I agreed with the conclusion more,
sometimes less but most times there were some aspects of the topics the
workshop gave me to think about later on."
Peter Robert (56) Sociologist
"The
Virtue Within Workshop is a great forum to exchange thoughts with
interesting people and to see the World from different perspectives. I
learnt to handle the difficulties in my life in an effective way, to
become tolerant, patient and to accept others’ views and opinions. I
highly recommend the Virtue Workshop to anybody who wants to get out of
their own closed World, who wants to grow spiritually and who is ready
to learn the essential virtues, which leads to ultimate happiness. It
is a journey of the mind and the spirit and it is up to you how much
you take on board with you."
Katalin Fejes (31) Tax advisor
"The
Virtue Workshops are a beautiful way to discuss and explore main
aspects of our lives in a relaxed and focused atmosphere. It is always
exciting to get know other people's insight and develop our own ideas.
Balazs's subtle guidance lets the thoughts flow free and they are built
up on each other thus the outcome is always enriching."
Balazs Keresztury (31) Engineer
"We
think life coaching is instrumental for helping people lead a healthy,
happy and fulfilling life. Through promoting self-esteem and
self-realization it could facilitate to achieve our goals. This is the
reason why Virtue Within Workshops are important for us. In addition to
helping us to acquire more self-knowledge, these Workshops provided an
excellent opportunity to get to know other people’s thoughts, ideas and
emotions. We highly appreciated the atmosphere in these Workshops which
was tolerant, open and friendly. We are sure other participants felt
the same and this resulted in very useful exchange of ideas and
experiences, helping us all to develop and enrich our minds and souls. "
