MANTRA & MEDITATION
Immerse yourself in the frequency of Indian mantras and let Sarasvati’s energy carry you away!
Together, we’ll create energy vortices and let them flow into nature.
Singing clears the mind, dispels distracting thoughts, shifts you into different vibrations, and makes it easier to enter a meditative state!

YOGA
Yoga instructor Rahul from Jaipur, India, will help us improve our flexibility with simple exercises.
He’ll tailor his program sensitively to each person’s individual needs.

BLOCK PRINTING WORKSHOP

Rahul will share details and bring wooden blocks and fabrics with him.
We’ll have the chance to try our hand at it.
At the end, you can take home your own printed bag!
You’re welcome to bring your own items to print on or purchase additional items—such as Indian yoga pants—to customize.

EUROPEAN & INDIAN MYTHOLOGY

Fascinating connections, similarities, and differences, with a focus on nature deities and nature spirits.
