Narmada Yatra

Embark an adventure of a Lifetime

Narmada is the longest of the only three rivers in India that flow from east to west. She is the lifeline of two big states, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. Originating in Amarkantak and flowing into the Arabian Sea via Kutch, this river has carved her way through the rift valley between the Vindhya and Satpura range since times immemorial. Every year, pilgrims perform the "Narmada Parikrama”, circumambulating the river in hope of absorbing some of the powerful energy she is believed to radiate.

Along her journey, the Narmada graciously provides livelihood and water to many communities, including indigenous tribes who have made the forests along the river shore their home, their lives centred on the Spirit of the Narmada.

Over a span of fifteen days, The Narmada Yatra opens a window to the life of the river, its people and the diverse ecology it supports. It is an exploration of the people-centric Movements that the Narmada inspires along with the issues that threaten its sanctity today.

Anubhava : Pan India Gap Year Program

Finding Your Identity!

Anubhava is our longest and most in-depth programme, especially designed for those who are looking for an awakening in their lives. Someone who may be at a cross-roads, wondering which path is destined for them to take. For those who are itching to explore and willing to find out and confront what they are truly afraid of.

Youngsters across the globe struggle to decide which field of work they would like to venture into, struggle to find a sense of purpose in life. In our main stream education system students are taught 5-10 subjects chosen by the school or parents from limited resources confined inside a classroom for 12-14 years. There is no scope for students to understand themselves, learn what their values are or learn the things that they are really interested in. After 12 years of this, students are expected to choose a field that they will ideally work in for the rest of their lives.

How can anyone find their innate interests before pursuing one seriously that will define happiness quotient for life?

Anubhava is rooted in a pedagogy that draws its values from two models of learning and transformation: Conscious Full Spectrum & Experiential Learning. The purpose of these frameworks is to fuel and ignite the inner wisdom of an explorer through enriching experiences and to bring a paradigm shift in the process of education.

21 Days Challenge

Transform Yourself!

This program is an experiment in habit building and transformation. It is to practice taking a moment in this fast moving world to appreciate the positive aspects of life, to welcome the small joys that make our life experience valuable.

It is based on the theory that regularly practicing a small action for 21 days can make a change in the thought processes of a person. When this exercise is done in a larger group, the effect is magnified, each participant helping the other through the journey. Aligning oneself to the collective spirit of a group facilitates transformation. We all learn from each other's stories.

We have designed the program to cultivate in ourselves the universal values as defined by The Mother : Courage, Gratitude, Peace, Humility, Progress, Aspiration, Sincerity, Perseverance, Receptivity, Goodness, Generosity and Equality

Each programme is themed on one value and we hope that by imbibing small actions introduced during the 21 days in their day-to- day, participants are able to enhance the presence of that universal value in their lives.

• Courage: Starting from 24th Sept, 2017. Join Now!

Retreats

Best Gift you can give yourself

Retreats are much-needed interventions in life to step back, take a break, and go into an introspective and reflective mode. The objective of these is to provide a safe space to space-out. To immerse in your inner Self with the aid of reflective group activities like discussion-circles, to connect with your own unique rhythm and dance with joy.

We all live in a world filled with stress, our own bubbles of worry that prevent us from connecting to the Universal Love. A Retreat is a time to unwind and re-kindle that fire within which sometimes starts to flicker against the tense storms of everyday life. Each Anveshan Retreat is three-five days of consciousness and appreciation for all the valuable gifts life blesses us with. These days do not have a fixed agenda, but are fluid moments to take long deep breaths and make space in your mind for a peace that can only exist within.
