Why organize Sukhi Jeevana?
Sukhi Jeevana is 3-day residential retreat that will trigger and facilitate experience based exploration into the self, society and nature.
Ecological and global issues seem daunting, personal relationships are shallow and in general our society is facing unprecedented challenges.While no simple solutions can be proposed, we all believe in positive and affirmative action. Anyone with a willingness to learn, an open mind and readiness to live in simple natural settings can participate.
Facilitators
Vinish Gupta, Karuna Morarji, Dr. A.N. Nagaraju and Dr. S. N. Gananath
Programme
Collaborative, participative and reflective dialogues coupled with actual living on a natural farm with a sense of responsibility. Screening of videos, articles, poems, lectures, informal talks, workshops. Each individual is encouraged to share his/her knowledge, experience with others.
Cost
Workshop is not-for-profit. Total cost will be shared equally by all participants. Our rough calculation is that it should be less than Rs. 1200 (per person for entire retreat) including food and accommodation.
The entire workshop is based on volunteerism and gift culture, you are welcome even if you are unable to pay.
