During the two days, members of the group from Birmingham, Leicester as well as London benefited from the guidance of Sacinandana Swami. Maharaj’s seminars were based on theme of what is needed to have a successful community of care, which is essentially what the IPS mentorship system seeks to provide.

The aim of the trip was to facilitate the development of relationships of members of the group whether they are relatively new or have been involved for many years, particularly those involved in the system.

The IPS mentorship system has been running for around 10 years and currently has 132 participants. This is set to grow considerably with the Birmingham and Leicester branches of the group due join the system in the near future.
