Nourish: Maximize Nutrition on Your Plate, Bangalore
2025-12-21 10:30 - 14:00 (Asia/Kolkata) | Bangalore,India, Bangalore, Bangalore, Karnataka, 560068, India
🍃 Nourish (Maximize nutrition on your plate) 🍃
As a nutritionist, if you ask me what’s the one thing you can do to take control of your health? — My answer would be: spend some time in your kitchen!
And that’s why we have curated NOURISH — the workshop where we come together to explore how to maximize nutrition on our plates.
During this 1-day workshop,
🌱We learn the basics of whole plant based nutrition – What are the nutrients our body needs to sustain and thrive? In what quantity?
🌱We learn the art of creating a well-balanced, power-packed plate with all the necessary nutrients
🌱We learn to choose safer ingredients
🌱We learn how to cook them side by side using safe and conservative cooking methods
🌱We relish the food that we cook together
What fills me with even more joy is seeing how this experience has inspired many participants to return to their kitchens with fresh eyes — mindfully procuring ingredients, planning nourishing meals, and cooking with awareness and love.
Past participants Share:
“Thank you, Saee and Poshak Life, it was a wonderful experience, lotsa learnings and aha moments during the Nourish Workshop.
I just did not want it to end, to be honest” – Rashmi Deshpande, Pune
“It was eye-opening to realize how small, consistent dietary changes can lead to big health improvements. It even made me rethink my supplement routine—I’ve packed away my multivitamins for now!” – Shilpa Kale, Mumbai
“The content was science-backed, clearly explained, and supported by relatable, real-life examples. The generous time spent on Q&A was especially valuable and made the session feel personal and interactive.” – Prakalpa Bastinapillai, Pune

I can’t wait to share this experience with more people who are ready to take charge of what they eat — ensuring their food is not only delicious, but also nutrient-rich, without compromise!

Vision Board into 2026
2026-01-03 18:00 - 20:00 | ZOOM
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
– Eleanor Roosevelt
A vision board is a visual, feeling-based map of the life you want to move towards … quite different from resolutions, which can feel like a to-do list.
A vision board is a collage of images and words that represent your goals, values and desired way of living, intended to inspire and motivate you. They tap into the brain’s strong preference for images and can evoke emotion and imagination more quickly than text.​
You place the vision board where you see it everyday, multiple times. What we focus on is what we ultimately build … that’s the power of manifestation … similar to how sportspersons use visualisation for motivation and direction.
As we start the year 2026, how about coming together as a group to create a vision board for yourself? Join the interactive workshop, where you will:

reflect on your dreams,
define a path to get there,
come up with actionable steps, and
experience the future you are walking towards.

We will use methods drawn from psychodrama, coaching, and psychospiritual work for this work.
When: 3 Jan, Saturday, 6-8 PM IST
Fee: 1999/- (free for Karwaan members)
Some guidelines for the workshop:

Keep pens, an A4 or larger sheet, colour pencils / crayons /sketch pens, and old magazines if you’d like to cut out pictures

Why is everyone suddenly focused on protein?
How much protein do you really need daily?
Is it possible to overconsume protein? What are the risks?
What’s the best way to choose the right protein source for your body?
Do vegetarians or Indians really need supplements to meet their protein goals?

3-Day #NoSugar Challenge
2026-02-16 19:00 - 2026-02-18 20:00 | ZOOM & WhatsApp
Small changes. Big rewards.
Excessive sugar consumption can lead to a range of negative health consequences, including weight gain, increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and potential links to depression, fatty liver disease, and even cognitive decline. Added refined sugars, in particular, are a major concern as they contribute to these issues without providing significant nutritional value.
Table sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and other forms of processed sugars provide fructose, which in excess has detrimental effects on:

brain (neurostimulant, addictive behaviour),
liver (fatty liver, inflammation, uric acid generation),
kidney (renal vasoconstriction, inflammation),
vasculature (inflammation, endothelial dysfunction), and
adipocyte (oxidative stress, inflammation).

We know this. But that doesn’t make it easy to stop! It’s too easily available, part of all celebrations, hidden in processed foods we love … it’s so hard to avoid!
Yes, we acknowledge the difficulty of #NoSugar, too. That’s why it’s helpful to do difficult things through fun group challenges. 🙂
And if you beat the craving for 3 days, who knows, you could beat it for much longer, even a lifetime!
But determination needs the support of our minds. And our mind needs information, support, and repetition to change the preset wiring. That’s why the 3-Day Challenge is designed to question the stories, intrigue the mind, change your body, and do the work joyfully.
What can you expect in 3 days?

Stable energy level through the day
Better dental health
Reduced cravings
Insight into how sugar affects you

How can avoiding refined sugar benefit in the long-term?

Maintaining a healthy weight
Reducing the risk of liver disease
Protecting heart health
Reducing risk of type 2 diabetes
Emotional stability

What’s the agenda for 3 days?
The schedule and scope will be as follows.

Video instructions – to guide you about WHY and HOW of the challenge on 16th Feb
Daily WhatsApp interactions – self-paced – from 17th to 19th Feb

WhattsApp support for 3 days:

Access to 3 coaches – Saee (Nutrition & Lifestyle), Deepali (#NoSugar Cooking and Recipes), and Monica (Emotional Wellness)
Answers to questions and concerns
Daily check-in
Evidence-based research around refined sugar
Group support

Listening from the Heart
2026-02-21 19:00 - 20:30 | ZOOM
A journalist once asked Mother Teresa, “When you pray, what do you say to God?”
She replied, “I don’t say anything. I listen.”
The journalist pressed on: “Then what does God say to you?”
She smiled and said, “He doesn’t say anything either. He listens.”
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
But listening is easier said than done. It is simpler to advise, solve, question, sympathise or even dismiss. Why? Because that’s what we have learned from observation and the quality of listening we have experienced. Very few of us have seen models of true listening.
If you want to create an authentic connection, listening is a reliable and powerful skill to master. Listening creates a holy space where the speaker can hear her inner voice, connect to her needs, and find answers that serve her.
If you want to create such an experience for others , join the action-based interactive workshop. We will use methods drawn from psychodrama and nonviolent communication to:

practice PRESENCE
learn what not to do to be a good listener
understand your own unmet needs when you cannot listen
reflect on your patterns and responses

When: 21 Feb, Saturday, 7-8.30 PM IST

60 Minutes Pranayama
2026-04-14 18:00 - 19:00 | ZOOM
60-Minute Pranayama Session
A Guided Journey into the Power of Breath
Breath is the most constant companion in our lives — yet we rarely pause to truly experience it.
This 60-minute Pranayama session is a guided exploration into the art and science of conscious breathing. Together, we learn to observe, regulate, and deepen the breath with awareness and steadiness.
What We Practice
Through simple yet powerful techniques, you will be gently guided through:

Breath awareness and mindful observation

Controlled inhalation and exhalation patterns

Kumbhak (intentional breath retention)

Gentle bandhas (energy locks)

Rhythmic breathing sequences

Each practice is introduced gradually, allowing the breath to become steady, disciplined, and nourishing rather than forced.
Why Pranayama?
When practiced with attention and respect, pranayama supports:

Calming and regulating the nervous system

Improving lung capacity and oxygen efficiency

Enhancing focus and mental clarity

Balancing energy levels throughout the day

Supporting emotional steadiness

The breath becomes a bridge — connecting body, mind, and subtle awareness.
What to Expect
This is a quiet, attentive session with moments of stillness, breath retention, and rhythmic breathing patterns. The emphasis is on quality over intensity, awareness over performance.
By the end of the session, participants often experience:

A clear and settled mind

Emotional balance

Deep inner steadiness

A renewed sense of vitality

This session is suitable for anyone who wishes to cultivate awareness, conserve vitality, and build a strong foundation for deeper yogic practices.

🍃 Nourish (Maximize nutrition on your plate) 🍃
As a nutritionist, if you ask me what’s the one thing you can do to take control of your health? — My answer would be: spend some time in your kitchen!
And that’s why I have curated NOURISH — the workshop where we come together to explore how to maximize nutrition on our plates.
During this 2-day workshop,
🌱We learn the basics of whole plant based nutrition – What are the nutrients our body needs to sustain and thrive? In what quantity?
🌱We learn the art of creating a well-balanced, power-packed plate with all the necessary nutrients
🌱We learn to choose safer ingredients
🌱We learn how to cook them side by side using safe and conservative cooking methods
🌱We relish the food that we cook together
What fills me with even more joy is seeing how this experience has inspired many participants to return to their kitchens with fresh eyes — mindfully procuring ingredients, planning nourishing meals, and cooking with awareness and love.

While high in essential vitamins, minerals and fiber, fruit is naturally low in fat, sodium and calories. This makes it perfect for detoxing. Many fruits are sources of under-consumed nutrients like potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C and folate, all of which help revitalize and cleanse the body.

NOURISH++ (Heart) , Pune
2026-06-19 16:00 - 2026-06-21 16:00 | Pune
NOURISH++ (Heart) | A 3D/2N Retreat to Reset Body & Mind

Explore yourself, connect with like-minded people, and rejuvanate in the beautiful landcapes of Serene Eco Village, Dhanep, Pune.

This 2N/3D residential retreat is an extension of the earlier NOURISH++ program that focused only on Āhāra (food and nutrition).
In NOURISH++ (Heart), you will explore Vichara (thoughts) and Bhava (emotions) in much greater depth. For this event, the theme rises from the sharings of earlier NOURISH++ participants who discovered that they are most drained by mental and emotional stress in their lives, from work, interpersonal relationships, and themselves.
In our experience, stress usually comes from conflict – with others, self, systems, and more. To launch NOURISH++ (Heart), we will dive into our inner world to discover internal conflict. We will do this through an action-based method called Psychodrama and the compassionate language of Nonviolent Communication. Our co-founder, Monica, a Psychodramatist, Coach & Facilitator, will lead this group work.
Saee and Deepali, the other two co-founders of Poshak Life, will take you through some sessions on Āhāra while nourishing your bodies with nutrient-rich meals. You will also prepare these meals with them to get hands-on experience in making tasty and nutritious food.
And of course, all three will be part of everything that’s going on!
The NOURISH ++ (Heart) retreat is open to anyone above 14 years of age for this time, so they can participate in the psychodramatic exploration.

Who Can Join?

Anyone (14+ years in age) who seeks peace and inner alignment.
Anyone who wishes to explore the idea that health is not only about what we eat, but what we truly digest—focusing on absorption rather than just consumption.
Anyone seeking to enhance their health through natural, sustainable practices.
Anyone curious about the role of subtle foods and Āhāra in nurturing vitality.
Anyone interested in learning how to prepare and consume food as genuine nourishment.
Past participants of NOURISH, BLOOM, or the 21-Day Back to Health program who want to deepen their journey.
