Moving to Goa
Many people dream of escaping the stresses and strains of urban life and moving to Goa. Katharina Kakar and her husband, the psychoanalyst and writer Sudhir Kakar, followed their dream and boldly took that plunge— buying a charming old house in a tranquil south Goa village, where they hoped to find a whole new way of living and working. Ten years later, they are still there, living the idyll—and the reality—of life in Goa. So which is the real Goa? Is it all about sun and sand, beaches and bikinis, feni and vindaloo? This book captures the allure of all these, as well as the festivals and rituals that punctuate the rhythm of village life. It portrays fascinating local characters, rangi...
Les Aventures de Rahul et Jerry en Inde
L'Inde : fascinante ou effrayante, délirante ou déconcertante, bruyante, colorée, traditionnelle ou expérimentale, riche de surprises et de rencontres. Dans ce pays où le quotidien peut devenir une aventure, Rahul et Jerry nous racontent leurs péripéties, traitées sur le ton de l'humour et de l'autodérision. Les deux héros sont en fait les avatars des deux auteurs. Thierry devient Jerry et Yves devient Rahul. De 2004 à 2018, touristes ou résidents, ils ont nourri un blog qui est adapté ici dans ces récits de voyage. En annexe, les auteurs proposent des éclairages sur la société indienne, les castes, les religions, la famille, sur certaines traditions, et délivrent quelques recettes de cuisine. Yves/Rahul et Thierry/Jerry nous font partager avec le sourire leur amour pour ce pays et son peuple. La vente de ce livre se fait au bénéfice de l'association Masala Team qui soutient de jeunes indiens dans le financement de leurs études.

Buddhist Understanding of Childhood Spirituality
In this book, Alexander von Gontard, a child psychiatrist, uses the language, thought and imagery of Buddhism to explore the spirituality of children. The book begins by exploring the Buddha's own childhood and the 'divine child' in Buddhism, a key archetype in Jungian psychology. The author defines the spirituality and religiosity of children and adolescents and identifies manifestations of spirituality in children, such as experiences of awe and wonder, and favourable conditions for spirituality, such as silence, nature, extreme conditions and mindfulness. Drawing on his own experience working with children in therapeutic practice, von Gontard discusses the parallels between spontaneous spirituality seen in childhood and the Buddha's teachings. Revealing how the spiritual insights and experiences of children and adolescents can uncover a deep and wise understanding of human life that is compatible with the Buddha's teachings, this book will be of particular interest to professionals and academics in psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, education and religious studies.
