Meet the facilitators
Anjali Nair
My love affair with the creative arts began at an early age, and continues to this day. As a performing artist, I have been lucky to work with theatre and movement artists who have taught me the power of curiosity and compassion. As a movement facilitator in schools, I have been blessed to encounter the greatest honesty and freedom of play from children. I am currently training in Somatic Experiencing™, a therapeutic model that has changed my life, and my desire is to share the learnings I have experienced with other people, so that we all may find ourselves a little lighter and a little brighter in this world.
Saunskruti Kher
I've had two entrepreneurial ventures. A travel company in Spiti & a digital marketing company in Mumbai. Wanting to know myself more and heal, I found Yoga. Since then, I have completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with the Yoga Institute, a Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga Education from Kaivalyadhama, and a Yoga Instructor Certification from Svyasa. I've fallen in love with the practice and it has become my safe space. I hope to do my Masters in Yoga Therapy and spread the magic.
Sharmishtha Ranade
I am a Life Coach, a Transformational workshop facilitator, Family Constellation Therapist and a soon to be Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I am always in the space of immersing myself in various practices and concepts that create a more empowering and meaningful life for me and in turn exploring various avenues of sharing the same with others. Loving and Living the Now!

What happens on each of the days?
Meeting the I’s
Through the years we’ve lived, all the choices we’ve made, so many I’s have emerged. They are our companions in every moment, often unmet, unrecognised, and unappreciated. We start our journey by meeting ourselves.
Peeling back the layers of self
Who we are, who we have become if often a product of many unexamined forces. Here, we take a look at the stories we’ve been told, and the stories we tell about who we are and what we want.
Surrendering to what is
So much of our suffering is generated by our inability to be present to what is. And yet, only by accepting our reality can we begin to shift it. Together, we sift through the debris of deconstructed beliefs to uncover a deeper truth.
Receiving the gift of love
Working gently with empathy and compassion, we dare to step into the river of love, allowing ourselves to connect with that powerful creative life force.
Envisioning anew
We begin to dream again, gathering glimpses and fostering intentions of what the future could look like from our new vantage point of clarity and connectivity.
Journeying forward
Centered in a clarified understanding of our own selves, we prepare to set out, to share our being with our families, communities, and the world at large.
