This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What is love indeed?

Born to parents from two different continents, Mia grew up and worked in Europe, Africa and South East Asia. Even while helping her nuclear physicist father and geneticist mother at work, Mia had a hunch that there was more to life than science alone. Obsessed with finding the answer to the question of love she travelled through Tibet, studied jungle survival with Bruce Parry in Borneo, worked as a model in Paris, a journalist in Bangkok, and a human rights researcher in the Middle East, before going to live for a year at a Zen monastery. Finally, she found the answer — with unexpected results. Now a writer about spiritual life in the real world and training to be a counsellor, Mia’s work has been featured in the Guardian, the BBC, The Huffington Post, Time Out, and as Editor to the Buddhist Society. She has an MA in Comparative Literature, three post graduate degrees and a Millennium Award from Jon Snow.

Understanding why you feel what you feel is one of the most important aspects of human development. After understanding comes control. When you control your emotions through vertical development, you can be more successful and happy.

We’ve all seen adults behave like children and ‘throw their toys out of the pram’ if they don’t get their way. An inability to control emotions prevents us from growing up and becoming mature successful human beings.

Dr. Alan Watkins, founder of Complete Coherence, introduces the key phases of human development and explains why poor emotional control is holding back progress. He asks us to imagine a world where we never have to feel anything we don’t want to feel; where we have complete control of what we feel and when we feel it.

Emotions meet technology in a new app (Universe of Emotions). Taking us on a journey around this Universe, Dr Watkins explains how we can choose our own emotional ‘planetary’ address and live happier and more fulfilled lives.

Alan Watkins is CEO and founder of leadership consultancy, Complete Coherence. He is recognized as an international expert on leadership and human performance.

Dr Watkins has a broad mix of commercial, academic, scientific and technological abilities. Over the past 18 years he has been a coach to many of Europe’s top business leaders and has helped companies treble share price, enter the FTSE 100, salvage difficult turnarounds and establish market leadership in their industry. He has written five books and numerous peer reviewed scientific articles. He advised the GB Olympic squad prior to London 2012 and is working with them leading up to Rio in 2016. He has three degrees and is a neuroscientist by background.

Noam Chomsky, a world-renowned linguist, intellectual and political activist, spoke at the University of Arizona on Feb. 8, 2012. His lecture, «Education: For Whom and For What?» featured a talk on the state of higher education, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Chomsky, an Institute Professor and a Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he worked for more than 50 years, has been concerned with a range of education-related issues in recent years. Among them: How do we characterize the contemporary state of the American education system? What happens to the quality of education when public universities become more privatized? Are public universities in danger of being converted into facilities that produce graduates-as-commodities for the job market? What is the role of activism in education? With unprecedented tuition increases and budget struggles occurring across American campuses, these are questions that are more relevant than ever.

Why is it that so many people think they can’t draw? Where did we learn to believe that? Graham Shaw will shatter this illusion – quite literally — in a very practical way. He’ll demonstrate how the simple act of drawing has the power to make a positive difference in the world.

Graham specialises in the art of communication and has helped thousands of people to make important presentations. He is perhaps best known for his use of fast cartoon drawings to communicate ideas and is the author of ‘The Art of Business Communication’.

The Ukraine Yatra is one of the most successful in ISKCON with over 15,000 devotees. We first visited Kharkiv where we participated in an amazing Ratha Yatra and then went on to Kiev, the capitol, where we had darshan of Radha Madhava in our movement’s biggest temple in the country. There we had several days of kirtan and lectures in an ocean of blissful devotees!

The trek from Dirapuk Monastery to Dzutulpuk Monastery is the most difficult part of a 3-day Kailash Kora. During the 12 kilometers’ day trek, you need to cross the Dromala Pass at 5,630 meters above sea level.

In Tibet, Dromala Pass means the Sin Pass. In an old saying, if a person has lots of sins, he/she could not pass through the Dromala Pass easily. The God of Kailash will decide who stays and who can go.

It was a tough day to cross the Dromala Pass. I started my journey at 7 a.m. and reached the top Dromala Pass at 11:30 a.m. after trekking 6 kilometers from Dirapuk Monastery guesthouse. It took another 1.5 hours to go down the pass. When I finally arrived at Dzutulpuk Monastery, it was already 6 p.m.

Here are some tips for the trekking cross Dromala Pass:
1. Do start your trek as early as possible. In my case, as a healthy Tibetan, I spent 11 hours to complete the 12 kilometers.
2. Please bring a flashlight. Because you would depart early in the morning and it is not yet light, you need a flashlight.
3. Please wear comfortable trekking shoes and prepare trekking poles. The road across Dromala Pass is very steep.
4. Don’t worry too much. There are three tea houses along the way, one is before you cross the pass and the other two are after your cross the pass. At the tea house, you can get simple food supplement, and buy small oxygen bottles if you need.
5. If you are really not feeling well enough to go over the pass, you can either rest in the first teahouse or take a car directly back to Darchen.

For ordinary tourists, the trek is a challenge to themselves, while for Tibetan pilgrims, the Mount Kailash kora is a pursuit of devout faith.

Along the way, I met a woman from eastern Tibet who came with her baby to make the kora, the pilgrims prostrating even on the steep trail, and a devotee from the high mountain area completed the kora in one day, who actually had already made 5 circles.

Along the way, you can see five-colored prayer flags waving in the wind and rocks with pictures on them, where Tibetans believe that posting the pictures of their deceased relatives will bless their souls to heaven. When you are tired, someone will cheer you up and even offer you snacks to replenish your energy.

This is the kora around Mount Kailash, the hardest, but the holist experience of Tibet.
