There are moments when life does not shout. It simply places a hand on your shoulder and says, quietly, “Now.” Being selected for the Call of the Time 2026 in Nairobi has felt exactly like that. Not fireworks. Not fanfare. Just a steady inner confirmation that something meaningful is unfolding.
For Mauritians, we are used to living at the edge of worlds. We are African, Indian Ocean, multicultural, multilingual, and often mentally multitasking. We know how to hold complexity. Yet we can also become experts at staying “fine”, even when the inner weather is not. This invitation to the Call of the Time 2026, dialogue, taking place 28-31 May 2026, is a reminder that leadership begins inside, and that the inside is never private for long.
I am going to Kenya with a professional title, yes. But more importantly, I am going with a human heart that is still learning how to meet the world without hardening.
What Call of the Time 2026 Nairobi Means to Me
The Call of the Time 2026 is not simply an event. It is a conversation about the kind of human beings we are becoming while technology accelerates, climate anxiety rises, and social trust feels brittle. It is a space where spiritual intelligence is not treated as a decorative accessory, but as a serious capacity for our times.
As a life coach, I sit with people who have “everything” and still feel oddly unwell inside. The stories are different, but the nervous systems sound the same. Overdrive. Hypervigilance. A relentless internal commentary that calls itself ambition. The Call of the Time 2026 dialogue feels like an invitation to ask the questions we most often postpone until burnout forces us to be honest.
If the world is changing faster than our minds can metabolise, what does it mean to stay psychologically grounded?
If our attention is constantly hijacked, what does it mean to remain spiritually sovereign?
If we can now outsource thinking, what remains non-negotiably human?
The Psychology of Being Chosen, and the Trap of Proving
Selection is a flattering word. The ego loves it. The nervous system, however, often does not. I noticed a familiar reflex as soon as I read the confirmation: the subtle urge to earn it again. To prove that the invitation was “right”. That reflex is ancient. It is the survival pattern of the high-functioning achiever.
In psychology, we call it conditional worth. You are valued when you perform. When you deliver. When you impress. Mauritius is not immune to this. We are a small nation with big aspirations, and our culture sometimes celebrates the visible outcomes more than the invisible inner life that made those outcomes possible.
So I paused and asked myself a coaching question I often ask others: What would it look like to receive this without turning it into a performance?
The answer was simple, and uncomfortable: I have to keep my centre. I have to go as a student of life, not as a salesperson of identity. I have to listen more than I speak.
A Neuroscience Note on Responsibility and Attention
From a neuroscience lens, responsibility is not merely a moral concept. It is a cognitive load. When we feel responsible, our brain increases monitoring, planning, and threat-detection. That is useful until it becomes chronic. Then we slip into the state many leaders secretly live in: functional anxiety.
The Call of the Time 2026 is, for me, a chance to practise a different kind of responsibility. The kind that is calm, values-led, and less addicted to urgency. In yogic terms, it is the difference between rajas and sattva. Restless drive versus clear presence.
I want to arrive in Nairobi with a mind that can hold nuance. That means training attention, because attention is the gateway to choice. If I cannot hold my attention, I cannot hold my integrity. And if leaders cannot hold their integrity, society becomes a theatre of policies without principles.
My Thank You to Sister Gaitree, Brahma Kumaris Mauritius
I also want to name what is often left unnamed: we do not rise alone.
This selection for the Call of the Time 2026 is not only about my work. It is also about a recommendation, a bridge, and a belief. I want to offer my sincere gratitude to Sister Gaitree of Brahma Kumaris Mauritius for recommending me. That kind of support is not transactional. It is spiritual mentorship in action.
In my own life, I have noticed a pattern. Whenever someone with inner stability believes in you, something in you starts believing in yourself in a quieter, healthier way. Not ego-belief. Soul-belief. The kind that makes you less defensive, more service-oriented, and more willing to be transformed by what you encounter.
Sister Gaitree’s recommendation reminds me that the most impactful leaders are not always the loudest. They are often the ones who see potential, nurture it, and then step back without claiming ownership.
A Mauritian Mirror: Are We Building Success or Building Selves?
Mauritius is full of talent. We have bright minds, a strong work ethic, and a hunger to progress. Yet we also carry a silent epidemic: emotional exhaustion dressed up as productivity. We are polite, capable, and sometimes emotionally dehydrated.
What if our next level of national progress is not purely economic, but psychological?
What if “development” also means developing nervous systems that can handle uncertainty without collapsing into control?
What if leadership is not about being right, but about being regulated?
As I prepare for the Call of the Time 2026, I am also preparing to bring these questions back home. Not as criticism, but as compassion. Because beneath our overachieving culture is a simple longing: to feel safe inside ourselves.
What I Hope to Contribute at Call of the Time 2026, Nairobi
I am not going to Kenya to deliver a perfect speech. I am going to participate in a living dialogue. If I contribute anything, I want it to be a language for inner leadership that is practical, psychological, and spiritually honest.
I want to speak about emotional resilience without turning it into a slogan. I want to talk about self-mastery as a daily practice, not a personality trait. I want to explore how meditation, coaching, and modern psychology can coexist without competing.
The Real Invitation
People may see this selection as a milestone. I do too, but not in the usual way. For me, the milestone is internal. It is a reminder that the path of service asks for refinement.
The Call of the Time 2026 is not just calling me to travel. It is calling me to a deeper standard of being. Less performative. More present. Less reactive. More responsible.
If you are reading this from Mauritius and you feel something stir, take it seriously. It may not be ambition. It may be your own inner call. And it might be quieter than you expect.
