Aastha’s BeckoningIn today’s fast-paced world, the focus almost always is on the ‘outer’ and how we ‘should be’. We extend an invitation to deliberate on the ‘inner’ and who ‘I’ really am.

Aastha beckons you to take a pause to:

An experienced set of facilitators anchor the programmes and keep the focus on self-exploration and building new perspectives while working with what is emerging in the group.

What is Process Work?Aastha follows a unique methodology called Process Work. Process work is a body of knowledge that draws from Psychology, Mythology, Anthropology and Sociology. At the base of this work is the belief that the experiences we have as human beings and the meanings we give to them, colours the way we see the world.

Process work is based on an exploration of one’s experiences and life spaces, to better understand one’s behavioural and identity patterns. The group work beckons participants to ask di cult questions of themselves relook at past experiences and face one’s fears. We o er a space that is safe for experiment-ing with new action choices, that then opens up multiple possibilities.

Participant Perspectives Process work has enabled me to meaningfully enhance the experience of theatre for myself and others. It gets us beyond technique to delve deeper within, get under our own skin and masks to bring characters truly alive with authenticity.

A journey everyone must make sometime. It is a beautiful community of people who are all on a journey to discover themselves, each at a different stage in his/her quest.

Neharika VohraProfessor, Organisational BehaviourIIM-Ahmedabad

Aastha’s Summer Programme gave me a space to understand and be understood and helped me to relook at my choices and patterns—personal and professional. I think it is a

space for everyone who approaches it with trust and integrity. It has been life-changing and I would definitely recommend it.

The eleven day internship programme was a memorable and insightful experience for me. It helped me recognize my preconceived notions which were not productive to my relationships.

Viridus Social Impact Solutions

In my personal as well as professional roles, process work has been instrumental in expanding my world view and in relating with diverse groups, from children to teachers to

parents and curriculum too. Owning up more dimensions of myself has enabled me to do so with others too. I strongly believe that holistic education is possible when the adults,

who have a great influence in the life of a child, have engaged with knowing themselves deeper--their patterns, thoughts, opinions, biases and more.

Exploring Human Processes, Self & RolesThe Foundation Module

* Any of these programmes are considered the Foundation Module for Internship.

Igniting Potential and Enlivening Self

This programme is recommended for individuals:

Objective To understand the way you take charge of your growth, restate the vision for self and your life spaces. To explore dilemmas in work-life and self-role balance. To explore new possibilities through intense interactions and concept sessions.

Crossing Thresholds of Growth16-19 years

Perspective The universe of the youth is a signi cant threshold from childhood to adulthood with mixed avours of challenges and excitements. On the one hand there is a vast world waiting to be discovered with e ort and enquiry, on the other, technology and consumerism make everything seem easy and within reach.

There is a tremendous need to excel and succeed in a competitive world today and the need for connecting, relating, exploring and in nding one’s convictions and beliefs often becomes secondary. This is also the world of hopes and aspirations; of nding one’s path and living out one’s dreams. All this creates pulls and counter pulls. This programme is aimed at exploring the dilemmas that the youth face and discover meanings to nd the convictions to make meaningful choices.

Objective The programme would provide a setting that would help youth:

adulthood.

My World & My Adventures10-15 years

Perspective

The age group between pre-puberty and stepping into puberty brings with it a need to be a “grown up”, learn new skills, apply new ideas, express creatively, be valued and feel good about oneself, and yet, continue to be the ‘little one’.

However the pressure of performance often pushes children towards retention of information and learning restricted to textbooks, limited exposure to anything that is “non-productive”, and above all, to fall in line. This often leaves little room for a sense of wonder and spirit of enquiry.

The innate need of this age is to get in touch with the unique being that one is. This programme o ers a space to foster the creative and expressive spirit and build value and pride in oneself. We also encourage participants to build perspectives on responsibility, relationships and awareness.

Objective The programme would provide a setting that would help children:
