Awaken Your Creativity: Akashvani

Listen to your inner voice. You need to dissolve your stress. Drop your unconscious patterns. And transform your anxiety. You need to switch off the chattering monkey of your mind. You need to get back to joy and celebration. That is what we practice every month in this Dance Meditation. And we follow this up with a celebration of light lunch, laughter, happiness, and friendliness.

You are welcome to join us

• Rs 2,400 Regular | Rs 2,000 Early Bird. Includes Tea and Lite Lunch
• First-Timer: Free Trial for first 45 minutes*. Because everybody deserves to unplug and seek some joy and bliss with us, even if for a few precious moments. So come!

This Dance Meditation practice helps you unlock explosive creativity within you. You learn the knack of coming back to happiness, celebration, and bliss. Whether you are a beginner in dance or in meditation, or have been practicing either for some time, or have have two left feet and can not sit still for a minute, this unique Dance Meditation is for you. It makes your life and work:

• More delightful
• More beautiful
• More intelligent
• More joyous

And yes, definitely a little more crazy and fun.

Combined with meditative techniques, dance becomes a great transformational force. One that dissolves creative blocks, fires up your imagination, puts you back in touch with your feelings, and gets that creative flow gushing through you again.

Your loved ones will notice a growing sense of creative playfulness, celebration, and ease around you: in your professional work, your personal life, and in your self-awareness.

But all that is secondary. If you go deep, dance is the most direct path with which you may experience that priceless taste of bliss and freedom.

This is the 20th Meditation event since 2016 in the ‘Awaken’ Series conducted by Niyam. Not counting the free, online meditations conducted for participants from all over the world, during the pandemic from Mar 2020 till Jul 2021. Some of those were daily, others over every weekend.
