THRIVE - Back to Self Program
2023-09-09 14:00 - 2023-09-25 21:15 | ZOOM
THRIVE is an online group program that is designed to help you recognise areas of stuckness in your personal and professional life, work on them, and create a more harmonious and joyful future. In the process, you reconnect with your innate creative and compassionate self – the Self that craves acceptance, love, freedom, and happiness.
We walk this 14-day journey (9th-25th Sep) by doing the inner work through psychodrama and cultivating new habits that support a sustained reconnection with Self.
Only when we know ourselves can we develop the capacity to build and sustain healthy relationships. And it begins with the work.
Some shares from earlier participants

“I have never thought about myself like this before. But now, there is an understanding of why I must work on these issues I have, so they don’t hold me back.”
“After the psychodrama play with my mother-in-law, I see a change in my attitude towards her which itself is changing the nature of our relationship, without the need to even talk to her about the matter that was disturbing me.”
“Being vulnerable is difficult for me but through the play, I understood that I don’t need to disconnect from my loved ones while I process my sadness.”
“I love the clarity this whole process has given me on various issues on my mind. I need to work more but I feel confident that I am on the right path.”

Who is this program for?
This online program is for those who wish to grow in their personal or professional life, deepen their self-awareness, and work on behaviours and thoughts that are not serving them well. The issues in their lives may show up as:

Recurrent unexplained behaviours (for example, inability to say No, mood swings, people pleasing, stress/anxiety, general lack of willpower, etc.)
Relationship troubles
Feeling stuck in some area
Unresolved pain from the past
Unexplained aches and pains
Lack of self-belief
Disconnection with self
Moodiness

How will the program work?
This is an intense 14-day online program in which we, the group, do the sacred work of peeling the layers of the ego, intellect, and mind, connecting to our deepest beliefs, thoughts, and emotions. We replay stories of the past, venture into fantasies of the future, and expand and experiment. In the journey, we gather the skills and wisdom to ride the ebb and flow of life with greater ease and experience equanimity.
The program will include:

12 hours of Psychodrama (4-hour sessions on 3 Saturdays, 2-6 PM)
11 hours of psycho-spiritual work (75-minute sessions from Monday to Friday, 8-9.15 PM)

What is needed from the participants?
Participants must:

commit to the schedule,
be willing to explore the Self,
be open to the process, and
be dedicated to the Work.

All the sessions will be online, on Zoom. Participants must:

join the sessions on time,
keep their videos on, and
sit in a place that allows privacy.

What can I expect at the end of 14 days?
While the journey itself is the reward, at the end of 14 days, you may find that you:

have greater self-awareness,
have clarity on issues,
have the self-confidence to address difficult matters,
have a roadmap for self-improvement,
have the skills & tools for inner work,
feel expansive,
can connect with your strengths meaningfully,
trust and honour your inner voice, and
are happier.

Listen Better for Better Relationships
2023-12-09 14:00 - 18:00 | ZOOM
“Listening creates a holy silence. When you listen generously to people, they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time. And in the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone. Eventually, you may be able to hear, in everyone and beyond everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.”
Rachel Naomi Remen, MD
A good listener will always have a good relationship with others, and herself. Being a good listener requires emotional maturity and unconditional acceptance. And it is a skill that can be mastered with regular practice.
In the 3.5 hours of the EMERGE session, you will:

learn why and how listening is important to nurture any relationship,
assess your own listening skills,
understand what listening involves and does not involve,
reflect and assess areas of work for yourself,
learn how to improve your listening skills,
apply the recommendations through role plays,
self-reflect and grow.

Program: 7-Day Fruit Cleanse : May 24
2024-05-05 - 2024-05-12 | ZOOM & WhatsApp
7-Day Fruit-Cleanse

*WHY?*
For centuries, various cultures have experimented with the process of detoxifying the body with an entirely fruit-based diet, often referring to the process as a fruit fast. Individuals who complete such fasts experience increased energy, feeling of lightness, and better health overall.

You may be thinking, I eat nothing but whole plant-based foods, I exercise regularly. I don’t need to lose weight or increase my energy. So do I need it? Believe it or not, toxins are all around us. In the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food that we consume.

The antioxidants, phytonutrients, enzymes, and fiber from fresh organic fruit help to drive out these impurities, stopping the formation of free radical cells. So all of us can use a fruit detox every once in a while.

*How?*
We are hosting a 7-day guided fruit-cleanse from 5th May to 12th May. When we fast on water or on fruits, feasting on *subtle foods* play a very vital role ensuring the detox experience is smooth. Also in our experience, daily commitment circles help stay focused during the fast.

We begin with a group coaching session to understand the process and resolve all the doubts on 5th May, Sunday 4pm to 5.15pm.
From 6th to 12th May we follow a fruit-cleanse routine with live daily commitment circles from 5.30am to 6am ,daily prompts on subtle foods consumption and handholding on a dedicated WhatsApp group.

Say YES to festive sweets!
2024-10-20 17:00 - 18:30 | In there, Forest trails, Pune, Forest Trails, Bhugaon, Paud Road, Pune, Maharashtra, 412115, India
Say YES to festive sweets!

Festivals can make health-conscious people a little edgy. Temptations show up everywhere, people insist more ardently, saying No creates stress even as giving in to temptations causes bodily discomfort and guilt.

We say, let yourself go during festivals! Indulge in your favorites, just switch to mindfully chosen ingredients!

Join us on 20th Oct for a 1.5 hrs special session where you will learn:
– how to choose better ingredients for festival sweets,
– why conscious choices during festivals make you feel energetic and joyful,
– 2 mouthwatering recipes – Shahi Tukda & Orange Chocolate Mousse

When: 20th Oct 5pm to 6.30pm IST
Venue: In there, Forest Trails, Bhugaon, Paud Road, Pune
Charges: ₹750/- per participant

Overcoming Challenges in Whole Food Plant-Based Cooking – Live Q&A
When – 15th May 2025, Thursday, 7-8.15 pm
When I started my Whole Food Plant Based journey, I had many questions. Theory aside, the practical aspects of coming up with tasty dishes for myself and my family were challenging. Foodies remain foodies, plant-based or not.
Over the last 4 years, I have experimented and innovated with traditional dishes, transforming them into finger-licking plant-based varieties. I serve these with joy and pride as they satiate both mind and body. In this webinar, I will share the best practices with you so that you enjoy cooking, eating and serving whole plant-based meals.
Join the webinar if you:
– feel stuck with plant-based cooking
– struggle with meal prep
– miss the flavors of traditional dishes
– face resistance from family
– are unsure about cooking without oil or dairy
Join our Live Q&A Session!
Get real answers, practical tips, and plenty of encouragement!
Highlights:
✅ Easy swaps to make your favorite dishes plant-based
✅ Quick meal prep ideas for busy days
✅ Techniques for oil-free cooking
✅ Managing cravings naturally
✅ Making WFPB meals family-approved!
Your journey can be simple, joyful, and delicious. Let’s do it together!
