My Story, Kosmos in Serbia

When I received an invitation to tell my story of how I got involved in teaching and why I spread the word about Kosmos, I was greatly honored but also very apprehensive. I am a professional translator/interpreter and a language instructor and only write sporadically for a blog that some of my former students started. But, like so many other times in my life, I closed my eyes and leapt. From 1971…

Stanimirka Milovanovic

When I first read about Nancy Roof’s work about 10 years ago I was immediately drawn to her ideas and felt I had to try to get in touch with her. I still remember thinking that this what Nancy was doing seemed almost impossible to have been achieved but there she was really doing it.

Kosmos Comes to Myanmar

Myanmar—Burma—is unlike anyplace I have seen before, even in extensive travels on four continents. It’s a land of contradictions, breathtakingly beautiful and vibrant, yet poor and isolated.

As a Kosmos Global Ambassador, in my own small way, I build bridges. Our current institutions are crumbling and we stand…

Being a Kosmos Global Ambassador

When the call came out to represent Kosmos globally, I was quick to respond. Probably the immediate draw was the opportunity to support the work of Nancy Roof, Kosmos’ Founding Editor, Art Director and Chief Inspiration Officer. Nancy and I first met in Toronto around 2005 at the World Wisdom Council meetings. I was immediately attracted to her presence, her natural dignity and her vision.…

Kosmos Journeys: A Sacred Journey to Mount Kailash

In far western Tibet there is a solitary mountain that has been considered sacred for over a thousand years. Ancient texts describe it as the spiritual center of the universe.
