style="font-size:20px;">Working together with people inside the Brahma Kumaris, Oblong spoke to psychologists and experts in art therapy to make sure the posters, when viewed and read, gave people a sense of calm.</span><br><br><span style="font-size:20px;">Data was then used in the media buying process to make sure the posters have been placed in areas where people needed them most and as they felt the most stressed, certain areas of the CBD, shopping precincts, shopping car parks and the middle of suburban shopping centres were chosen.</span><br><br><span style="font-size:20px;">Says Gabrielle Martin Director, programs and events at Brahma Kumaris: “We love the calming shapes created by Oblong and the way they can create a little light for people at this very stressful time.”&nbsp;</span><br><br><span style="font-size:20px;">Says Oblong CCO and founder Justin Ruben: “I think we can all admit, this year has been difficult for a lot of people, with the cost of living crisis and various world events. Hopefully these posters can provide people with a little bit of calm, even when they’re running around the streets doing last minute Christmas shopping.”</span><br><br><span style="font-size:20px;">The Brahma Kumaris are also planning an event at the Sydney Opera House in April which they hope will bring even more lightness to people’s lives.</span></p><figure class="image"><img src="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_2_032387f532.png" alt="2024-12-20-BKs Makes Headlines in Australia With Ads-2.png" srcset="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/thumbnail_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_2_032387f532.png 245w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/small_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_2_032387f532.png 500w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/medium_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_2_032387f532.png 750w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/large_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_2_032387f532.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_3_8895aa92b8.png" alt="2024-12-20-BKs Makes Headlines in Australia With Ads-3.png" srcset="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/thumbnail_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_3_8895aa92b8.png 187w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/small_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_3_8895aa92b8.png 500w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/medium_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_3_8895aa92b8.png 750w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/large_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_3_8895aa92b8.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_4_3ef8c5a4dd.png" alt="2024-12-20-BKs Makes Headlines in Australia With Ads-4.png" srcset="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/thumbnail_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_4_3ef8c5a4dd.png 174w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/small_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_4_3ef8c5a4dd.png 500w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/medium_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_4_3ef8c5a4dd.png 750w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/large_2024_12_20_B_Ks_Makes_Headlines_in_Australia_With_Ads_4_3ef8c5a4dd.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"></figure>

Whether you have been a close friend for a longtime or are a new friend, you would know that the Brahma Kumaris understand this to be an auspicious time. We call it the “confluence age”. On the outside, the physical world is tumultuous and may feel unstable with floods, fires and disharmony, but on the inside – something sacred is in motion. We want to shine a light on this.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size:20px;">A confluence is a meeting of things – such as a confluence of rivers. Our knowledge tells us that this is a confluence of an old age and a new one. The new incoming age is subtle and contains currents of pure love, peace and happiness. Choosing to travel a spiritual path or to have a spiritual practice helps us attune to this subtle in-coming energy and to support it with our thoughts, feelings and choices in the world.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size:20px;">We encourage you to give priority to developing this inner capacity now, by making time for remembering your spiritual nature and remembering the Source of life. Move away from doubts and sorrow and keep yourself in a place of love and hope, having good wishes and pure feelings for everyone. These are times that call on what is best in each of us so that we can serve those who are anxious or afraid.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size:20px;">Please consider our centres and our virtual offerings to be sanctuaries of support and understand that you are most welcome to come to restore yourselves.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size:20px;">Please visit our website&nbsp;</span><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://brahmakumaris.org.au/new/"><span style="font-size:20px;">https://www.brahmakumaris.org/</span></a><wbr><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://brahmakumaris.org.au/new/"><span style="font-size:20px;">au</span></a><span style="font-size:20px;">&nbsp;for our opening hours and events. We are travelling this road together in spiritual friendship.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size:20px;">With warmest wishes and love,</span></div><div><span style="font-size:20px;">The Brahma Kumaris world family</span></div>
