Organizer: Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE)

Venue: Bengaluru

Organizer: Vinish Gupta, Centre for Holistic Learning

Venue: Huthina Betta campus, Sirsi

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.
