Demystifying Indian Deities, Sun 25 Oct

Demystifying Indian Deities

Through Colours, Symbols, Metaphors 

& Personifications

With Aparajita Barai

The deities were conceptualized in a visual language that is loaded with symbols, metaphors, colours and personifications. We will talk, draw, think and discuss to decode the meanings that have been lost over time.
 
Every god and goddess is representation of an entity that we can invoke within us if understood, experienced and explored in our lives.We will realize why these abstract qualities of strength, wisdom or abundance were given human forms like Durga, Saraswati and Lakshmi and certain elements were associated.
 
Through this presentation and workshop we will explore ourselves and make the deities part of our own self-exploration beyond the ceremonial rituals in a meditative way.

About the Facilitator

Aparajita Barai is a graphic designer and an artist. She has graduated from the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahemdabad and her masters with distinction West Design for Communication from University of Westminster, London. Her work shows influence from the folk style and reveals the intricacy of traditional Indian art form. Mythology and spirituality predominantly mark her subject. Her motive and vision is to re-stir Indian spirituality and philosophy and present it with personal quest. She aims to dig out the ancient treasures, meanings and possibilities that have got submerged under the ceremonial practices. She currently resides in Delhi and is the founder of Beloved India.

GONG BATH with San Jay Hallon, Sat 26 Sep

Gong Bath
Rest. Relax. Reconnect.
With The Travelling Gong Yogacharya San Jay Hallon






It is to be bathed in waves of beautiful and timeless vibrations. The powerful vibrations of the gong transport us to another level of being and place where healing occurs naturally and the stresses of everyday life are gently washed away.

Often in a Gong Bath, Native American Flutes, Tibetan/Himalayan Singing Bowls, African Drums and Temples Bells are played, some times in conjunction with the Piano, Violin, Shruti Box or even Guitars and Voice. This creates a sound envelope and texture that is non-linear and trans-spatial. This allows you to integrate your intention and balance your body, mind, and spirit promoting a positive change in you.


 

About the Facilitators

San Jay is a traveling Gong yogi who has taken a divine order or “Hukum” to spread the goodness of the gongs and its teaching to the world. He practices and conducts workshops on gong bath relaxation, meditation, gong yoga and sound healing.

3. Learn Pinch Pot Technique, most primitive technique of pottery
4. Pinch pot technique combined with coiling for a more decorative effect

In between all of this, we will have a breather session of a short active meditation or some simple fun stretching exercises, to keep the juices flowing! Towards the end, the facilitator will compose all or several of our hand-made pots together, giving them the final touches.

Body Mapping: Writing the Self with Sara Matchett

Body Mapping
Writing the Self
with Sara Matchett


 

Body mapping is a combination of Art Therapy and Narrative Therapy practices in its focus on the visual and written as a way of making sense of one’s experiences, stories, memories, and dreams/aspirations.

In this instance, the visual representation of the story/memory/event on the body map catalyses the written story/narrative/poem. The workshop involves creating life-sized maps of the body, onto which participants will visually map their lived experiences and dreams/aspirations. Thereafter they will engage in creative writing exercises that will culminate in the creation of poems.

Breathe to Heal - Connecting Our Breath to Our Body & Feelings

Breathe to Heal

Connecting Our Breath to Our Body & Feelings

 

It is surprising, really, how changing something as basic as breathing, which we start doing as soon as we are born, has the potential to have such a deeply profound effect on our lives! Proper breathing is essential to good health and our emotional wellbeing. In this workshop, we will be doing very simple breathing exercises which can be done anywhere, anytime to release suppressed and negative energy from our body.

Here, we will do different kinds of 20 connected breaths and each exercise will benefit us in a different way. In this process, we reach a moment where inhaling and exhaling merge into one, bringing us immense relief.

The benefits of this workshop are:
1. The suppressed feelings and blocked energies will come to the surface and get released
2. One will be able to master the emotion of anger effectively
3. Becoming aware of our energies, we will be able to overcome illnesses in the body

We will start with welcome tea, followed by the breathing session. The evening will end with a beautiful dinner.

 

About the Facilitator
