What is a Jeevan Vidya Shivir/Workshop?

A 7-Day Journey to understand yourself as a human being

An interactive, safe space

Ask any meaningful question - across the cosmos

No traditional texts

Only thought provoking questions - to examine & question

Get authentic answers

Through self-scrutiny & reflection

Explore Reality

Through critical thinking in a faciliated dialogue

An Immersive Experience

Paradigm changing concepts,  'meditate' with your eyes open. 

This 'teaching' is *never* charged

Knowledge is free, like the wind. It's everywhere

Dialogic

This interactive 7 day shivir/workshop is designed to make the participant enquire about your own self and the fundamental nature of reality. The workshop is conducted in a clasroom setting where an accomplished facilitator will engage with you in a dialogue that is meant to answer questions from every aspect of your life.

Any and all questions are welcome.

Reflective

The workshop does not refer to any traditional or existing texts. The facilitator puts forth proposals from reality for you to examine and reflect upon.

There is no sermonizing and all participants are encouraged to examine question it from every possible perspective and ask questions. Gradually, the pieces of information form a meaningful thread in our minds.

 

Intuitive

By the end of the workshop, you will have a broader canvas & framework to think about yourself and reality. The content offers profound insights into your very nature, an understanding of reality 'as it is' and how everything coexists with one another.

We begin to sense that every aspect of human existence is threaded in the fabric of existence & needs deeper study. Many participants thus become continuing students and practitioners.

 





Typical Eight Day Syllabus

Being here

General introductions are made. We start with a list of questions/areas we'd like to discuss. These are typically brought down to two-three basic questions: Basic Desire (Why to live?); Basic Program(How to live?). We discover that understanding the Coexistence in all aspects of our living is what we truly seek. We also decide that we shall avoid beliefs and dogma.

*Typical Timings: Classroom discussions are from 9AM to 6PM with breaks for Tea & Lunch. Remaining time is for reflection, personal interaction & helping around. No 'meditation postures' etc are followed.
