Organizer: Centre for Holistic Learning
Venue: Huthina Betta campus, Sirsi, Karnataka
Description:
The workshop addresses the self in the human being. It draws attention to human needs - need for human relationships, inherent desire to seek knowledge, and the joy that we naturally derive from these. In our current situation, we might be seeking different things. Thus, it brings about a dialogue between what we are and what we want to be. It does not posit happiness in an after-world, but here and now, based on a "humanness" common to all human beings. The approach is rational, secular and universal.
The workshop was included as an essential part of the academic curriculum at some engineering institutions a few years ago. It has led students to reflect on what their goals are, the place of money in life, the joy one derives in relationships; a focus on the pursuit of knowledge and not merely on jobs and the money they get out of it. They have become relaxed in their self, and become more sensitive to relationships with their friends and family, and regarding society and nature.
Cost:
This workshop is always shared as a gift, and the facilitator does not receive any payment for conducting the workshop. However, the cost of boarding and lodging, and campus maintenance expenses for the current workshop come to about Rs 4000 for the week-long workshop. Participants who can are expected to bear these expenses. If you are able to contribute more, you can help us support the costs of those participants who are unable to pay. The costs of the whole workshop are thus usually met by the participants. Nobody is ever denied participation in the workshop due to inability to make a monetary contribution. Participants who cannot be accommodated by us in this workshop for any reason will be offered the opportunity to attend this workshop at another date/location in the future.
