We Walk The Talk
The Future We Create Together
AIAR is more than a network — it is a living memory that continues to breathe through each one of us. Every story we share, every reunion we attend, every bridge we build keeps the spirit of Le Rosey alive.
As we look ahead, I see a future where AIAR becomes a sanctuary of connection — where the old and new generations walk side by side, exchanging wisdom and wonder. A place where mentorship, creativity, and collective purpose guide our path forward. A place where we do not only remember who we were, but reimagine who we can become.
Imagine an AIAR that pulses with participation — where alumni collaborate across continents, where our shared experiences inspire new opportunities, and where every Roséen feels seen, valued, and part of something greater. This is the vision I hold: a Rosey that grows with grace, unity, and intention.
And so, if this vision resonates with you — if you, too, wish to see AIAR flourish as a space of belonging, contribution, and heart-led innovation — then I invite you to lend your voice and your vote. Because every vote is more than a choice; it’s a gesture of care. A reminder that our community thrives when we each take part in shaping its rhythm.
Le Rosey has always been a garden of possibility. Together, let us tend to it — with wisdom from the past, presence in the now, and purpose for what’s to come.
Let’s make this next chapter a reflection of all that we hold dear — intellect with empathy, excellence with humility, and legacy with love.
Actis Virtus — true virtue is action born of heart.

Sukaiyna GOKAL ('83-'87)
Candidate for AIAR President
Sukaiyna Gokal is a British-national educator, author and social entrepreneur who founded Garden of Ayden in 2012. Influenced by her studies in psychology and by a wide range of cultural and spiritual teachings, she combines formal professional training, including diplomas in CBT, family counselling, hypnotherapy, NLP (Master Practitioner), Theta Healing and Certified Gene Keys Guide with many years of luxury-brand experience and international living. Her approach is quietly practical and deeply human: she designs programmes that help families, educators and organisations navigate life’s challenges with more dignity, compassion and clarity.
Her work is rooted in the philosophy of The Human Touch and Scintilla, the inner spark within each person and spans published curricula, live facilitation, professional training and one-to-one practice. Sukaiyna is the author of The Human Touch (an international bestseller in five countries) and the creator of flagship programmes such as Enter the Garden and Looking at the ‘I’ with a Deeper Eye. To date she has delivered over 9,400 sessions (16,200+ hours), developed multilingual course delivery in more than 28 languages, and built measurable impact frameworks used by schools, NGOs and private clients.
A seasoned cross-cultural negotiator and former luxury-brand leader, Sukaiyna has travelled, worked and lived in Geneva, London, Paris, Tehran, Hong Kong and Dubai and is fluent in multiple languages. She believes in “humanity first” and that authentic luxury lies in the education of the inner life. Through Garden of Ayden she seeks to cultivate a gentle, global common language of ethics — one that honours resilience, fosters peace and empowers future generations to live with purpose, care and prosperity.
If anyone plays on my heartstrings it will be because I allow it and like the melody it plays.
If you leave no choice but elegance it will reign.
Anything anyone says speaks about them, not the person they are speaking about.
