We all hold truths. But how do we hold them... tightly? defensively?... or lightly, with care?

In a world that often seems to reward strong opinions and quick reactions, what might it mean to hold our truths lightly?

β€˜Holding Our Truths Lightly’ is an invitation to explore choice, care, and everyday wisdom... not as lofty ideals, but as living practices.

A few days to pause, inquire, and rediscover how gently we can meet ourselves and each other.

Thrilled to announce our next retreat at the Deer Park Institute (Bir, Himachal Pradesh)

Twenty-seven months ago, we began with a simple intention of sharing a space for reflection and growth.

Here is a glimpse of what some of our Online Monthly Offerings have looked like.

Each session has really been a shared space, where we have explored themes of mind, emotion, relationships, ethics, balance, suffering, growth, and the many many many ways in which we meet the world and ourselves.

These sessions are shared explorations.
A place to pause and reflect in the middle of busy lives.
A place to learn and connect back with the larger bodies of knowledge.
A place to practice and connect back with each other, as humans who seek happiness.

We are so deeply grateful to everyone who has supported this work, through attending regularly, or joining occasionally, or recommending this space to others, or who simply hold goodwill for this space.
Your trust and engagement make this possible, and stays as our motivation.

Here’s to continuing the journey

In our offering this month, *Being At Ease* , we explore the possibility that ease and warmth can arise right where we are, when we begin to see ourselves and the world more accurately. And as we build our capacity for it, we find our hearts being more full, our attitudes being less defensive and more honest towards ourselves, and more accepting of others.
Our February session is an invitation to increase our ability to be at ease by checking the armors we carry and learning to hold more space for those around us with different ways of being.

Free and open to all.

Happy to announce our 26th Online Monthly Offering, and our first for this year.

Truth is, many of us unknowingly drag ourselves down, judge ourselves harshly, and often relate to others from the same space.

ELEVATE is an invitation to gently notice these habits and explore the possibility of shifting how we see: where we can hold capacity alongside limitation, respond to potential rather than old patterns alone, and meet ourselves and others from a more growth-oriented, developmental space.

Free and open to all

πŸ—“οΈ Saturday, 31st January
πŸ•  5:30–6:30 pm IST / 4–5 pm GST

DM for details.
Wishing you an elevated year ahead πŸ™

And needless to say, please feel free to share....you may not need this, but maybe you know someone who does...😊
