Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
All wisdom traditions point to compassion as a foundational human virtue. Contemporary science also proves that caring for others is our most fundamental instinct. We are wired to care. It is a regenerative force that elevates us and others. As Dalai Lama eloquently says, "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
Yet, our modern culture and systems bias us towards accumulation over generosity and isolation over connection. So how do we rekindle that native force of compassion within each of us? How do we go beyond “helping” and “fixing”, and tap into the spirit of “service”?
As we connect deeper with that spirit of compassion within us, how does that transform us? How does it change the way we look at each other and our relationships? How does it affect the quality of our organizing and impact? In today's world dominated by money, power and fame, how can we manifest the eternal “Law of Love”?
If these questions interest you, join us for this experiential 3-day retreat with change-makers, leaders and everyday heroes from diverse walks of life. We will learn from each other, practice through our actions, engage in transformative dialogues, listen to guest speakers and much more! Hosted in the Gandhian heartland, city of Ahmedabad, we invite you to co-create this sacred field of emergence!

Retreat begins on Friday, March 3rd @ 8AM. You can arrive earlier in the day or if you are arriving on 21st, just let us know. :)
Retreat ends at Sunday, March 5th @ 3PM. Most participants will leave during the evening, but in case you need to stay back for the night, we will be happy to arrange that.
Through our time together, we will sit in circles to learn from each other’s experiments and challenges; hear and engage with some innovative speakers across sectors; engage in many group practices that nurture our collective inner transformation. Plenty of opportunities to engage the head, hands and of course the heart. Plus a few surprises!
Over last twelve years, thousands have joined from a wide-ranging backgrounds. Perhaps what brought them together was a simple organizing principle: We are not merely what we do, but who we become by what we do. If you resonate with the notion that inner change and outer change are intrixicably intertwined, and if you are moved to cultivate deep connections with kindred spirits, this retreat will likely speak to you! Beyond that, we'd recommend leaning in your heart's intuition -- more often than not, "heart knows today what the mind will know tomorrow." :)
To facilitate deeper connections, we limit the group size of our gatherings -- and give priority to project initiators who are anchoring local projects in their contexts.
If you have any questions, please contact us anytime. To co-create our sacred field of emergence, we welcome you join us!
