Ananda is a name I often use which encapsulates the nature of the work I do in the world, it is from the ancient sanskrit and means: inner joy, bliss.
The work of ananda is: to draw together all the threads of good work and prove that another world is possible.
This directory is a collation of many endeavours of life I come across which I personally deem to be good work.
