SUMMARY:Listening from the Heart
DESCRIPTION:A journalist once asked Mother Teresa\, “When you pray\, what do you say to God?” \nShe replied\, “I don’t say anything. I listen.” \nThe journalist pressed on: “Then what does God say to you?” \nShe smiled and said\, “He doesn’t say anything either. He listens.” \nListening 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. \nRachel Naomi Remen\, MD \nBut 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. \nIf 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. \nIf 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: \n\npractice PRESENCE\nlearn what not to do to be a good listener\nunderstand your own unmet needs when you cannot listen\nreflect on your patterns and responses\n\nWhen: 21 Feb\, Saturday\, 7-8.30 PM IST \nFee: Giftism (What is giftism? You choose a self-determined fee that feels right to you\, that feels clean\, fair\, and honest\, and that respects your financial means. If that amount is zero\, we welcome and trust that choice as well. We offer the workshop as a gift\, trusting the generosity of participants to support us in developing and sustaining in-depth learning journeys like this one.) \nIncluded in Karwaan package. \nSome guidelines for the workshop: \n\nVideos must be on.\nJoin 2 minutes early. Entry will close after 7.05 pm.\nKeep a pen and paper handy.\nBe seated at a place that allows privacy.\nRecording will not be provided.\n\nAbout the Coach: \nMonica is a certified Psychodrama Coach Practitioner. She offers in-person and online personal coaching using psychodrama\, psycho-spiritual work\, and nonviolent communication as therapeutic methods. She also conducts online and in-person group workshops for mental health\, human relations and social wellbeing. She is the co-founder of the holistic health company\, Poshak Life. More here.

SUMMARY:60 Minutes Pranayama
DESCRIPTION:60-Minute Pranayama Session\nA Guided Journey into the Power of Breath \nBreath is the most constant companion in our lives — yet we rarely pause to truly experience it. \nThis 60-minute Pranayama session is a guided exploration into the art and science of conscious breathing.

SUMMARY:Nourish: Maximize Nutrition on Your Plate\, Pune
DESCRIPTION:🍃 Nourish (Maximize nutrition on your plate) 🍃 \nAs 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!\nAnd that’s why I have curated NOURISH — the workshop where we come together to explore how to maximize nutrition on our plates. \nDuring this 2-day workshop\, \n🌱We learn the basics of whole plant based nutrition – What are the nutrients our body needs to sustain and thrive? In what quantity? \n🌱We learn the art of creating a well-balanced\, power-packed plate with all the necessary nutrients \n🌱We learn to choose safer ingredients \n🌱We learn how to cook them side by side using safe and conservative cooking methods \n🌱We relish the food that we cook together \nWhat 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. \nPast participants Share: \n“Thank you\, Saee and Poshak Life\, it was a wonderful experience\, lotsa learnings and  aha moments during the Nourish Workshop.\nI just did not want it to end\, to be honest”  – Rashmi Deshpande\, Pune \n“It was eye-opening to realize how small\, consistent dietary changes can lead to big health improvements.

The generous time spent on Q&A was especially valuable and made the session feel personal and interactive.” – Prakalpa Bastinapillai\, Pune \n  \nI 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! \nDate: 28th Mar \nTime: 10.30am to 3.30pm \nVenue: Bhugaon\, Pune \nContribution:\n\nThe program is offered in Giftivism mode.\n\nWhat is giftivism?\nYou choose a self-determined fee that feels right to you\, that feels clean\, fair\, and honest\, and that respects your financial means.

SUMMARY:NOURISH++ (Heart) \, Pune
DESCRIPTION:NOURISH++ (Heart) | A 3D/2N Retreat to Reset Body & Mind\n\nExplore yourself\, connect with like-minded people\, and rejuvanate in the beautiful landcapes of Serene Eco Village\, Dhanep\, Pune.\n\nThis 2N/3D residential retreat is an extension of the earlier NOURISH++ program that focused only on Āhāra (food and nutrition). \nIn 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. \nIn 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. \nSaee 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. \nAnd of course\, all three will be part of everything that’s going on! \nThe NOURISH ++ (Heart) retreat is open to anyone above 14 years of age for this time\, so they can participate in the psychodramatic exploration. \n\n\nWho Can Join?\n\n\nAnyone (14+ years in age) who seeks peace and inner alignment.\nAnyone 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.\nAnyone seeking to enhance their health through natural\, sustainable practices.\nAnyone curious about the role of subtle foods and Āhāra in nurturing vitality.\nAnyone interested in learning how to prepare and consume food as genuine nourishment.\nPast participants of NOURISH\, BLOOM\, or the 21-Day Back to Health program who want to deepen their journey.\n\n\n\n\nHighlights of NOURISH++ (Heart) \n\n\n\nUnderstanding thoughts\, feelings\, and needs that drive behaviour\nFinding strategies to align outer action with the inner compass\nRevisiting the fundamentals of NOURISH (Maximize nutrients on your plate)\nUnderstanding the difference between nourishing foods and healing foods\nLearning how to improve absorption—not just focus on consumption\nExperiencing subtler foods from the five elements and their profound healing power\n\nGroup Activities: \n\nGrowing in self-awareness\nPractising new behaviours for better relationships\nPlanning & preparing two wholesome\, whole plant-based meal plates\nPlanning & preparing two vibrant\, nutritionally balanced fruit and veggie meals\nRelishing a fruit meal and a veggie meal\nNature walks amidst the Sahyadris\nSun gazing\, basking & bathing\nMindful eating practices\nGentle pranayama for balance and vitality\n\nAll of this will unfold in the lap of nature\, amidst the scenic rolling hills of the Sahyadris at Serene Eco Village\, Dhanep\, Velhe. \nTime \nJun 19\, Friday 4 PM to Jun 21\, Sun\, 4 PM \nSpots \nLimited to 20 participants\, selected based on the application \n\n\nContribution\n\nThe program is offered in Giftivism mode.\n\nWhat is giftivism? You choose a self-determined fee that feels right to you\, that feels clean\, fair\, and honest\, and that respects your financial means.
