CONFRONTING FEARunderstanding fear as an emotion and also as a tool to boost your ability to take risks

BODY RHYTHMSusing movement and breath to rediscover various aspects of physical body.



confrontingfear

Underneath anger lies fear and fear is an emotion worth listening to!

Confronting Fear addresses fear through a very real danger – fire-walking & white water rafting – as me-diums to address the flight versus fight syndrome that kicks in when faced with a fearful situation.

Fire and water, two of the core elements of nature, work as a very strong transformational mediums and our master facilitator have rafted many rivers and done numerous fire-walks for over a decade, will lead you through this life changing experiences.

percussionworkout

Music and rhythm has the energy to bring together masses. Rhythms create a sense of bonding, camaraderie, unity and collaborative success - what organizations need for their teams today.

Percussion workout enables participants in teams to connect with each other at a pragmatic level using rhythm and music as the catalyst. The reten-tion levels of the participants from the learning derived from Percussion Workout is much longer as compared to other team building exercises as the experience is derived out of community based learning and is rhythmically inclined.

Experiential learning to the core!

bodyrhythms

Body Rhythms are premised on the mind-body-heart connect and understanding that the body influences the mind and the heart and vice-versa. “The physical and emotive states are interconnected; we can change the emotive state to a more centred space by moving the body”. These exercises break the mind-body dichotomy, pushing participants to realise the myriad ways in which the body can be used to influence the mind. The exercises, Morning Chi exercises, Walk of Life and the Four Stages of Movement can be thought of as cleansing or re-centring exercises. These are based on highly scientific body emotive sciences such as the Alexander Technique, Gurdjeiff, Martial Arts etc.

The act of confronting your deepest phobias and fears enables the individual to progress toward a stress-free existence and it is our attempt to enable this evolu-tion through the above mentioned program.

Via these observatory and reflective interventions, we intend to bring about a deeper understanding of the human body, its stress patterns and sensory aware-ness.
