'From Saurashtra to Baroda'

Earlier last month, Sheetal Ben embarked on a journey of love across India. Recently she shared how everyone has been with her, holding her along the path. Here are the updates from the Bhav Jatra.

'Karma Kitchen Baroda'

An evening of magic - the restaurant became a temple; the food, an offering and strangers came together as family. Here are some pictures and reflections from the evening.

'Volunteering in Angola'

While in Angola, Ashima decided to volunteer with a local non-profit. Even though she couldn't speak the same language, it didn't stop her from engaging in a deeper way. Here are some stories!

'The Gramshilpi Retreat'

Volunteers serving in villages across India came together for a three day retreat. From simple ties rooted in the heart (Dosti), a direction (Disha) emerged which led to a collective vision (Disha).

A diverse group of 16 inspired souls came together to spend a day in the spirit of maitri at Gandhi Ashram, Delhi. Pratyush shares how each experienced a day of connection, transformation, unexpected gifts and immense gratitude.

'Engaging with Money in the Spirit of Gift'

There's no doubt that operating in alignment with Gift culture helps us ask tougher questions of money. How are questions of sustainability addressed when we choose to work in this way? Siddharth posts a blog from some of his email conversations with people who have been exploring this deeply.

'Clowning in Kundapur'

Last month, Nivendra, Harish and a few other volunteers spread joy in a hospital in Bangalore through their experiments in Compassionate Clowning. They took it a few steps further when they decided to take the spirit of clowning into a small town called Kundapur. Read more stories from their adventure here.
