Both clients and designers need to think of this. Commerce and Conscious. Money versus Wealth. The dilemma of the Designer. Since Design is amoral, are you being responsible with its immense power? When will India have larger numbers of Designers who may not be artists?

You can tap into design for your inner transformation.
Supported with Meditation techniques, Design can make you:
More creative
More intelligent
More beautiful
More aware
More loving
More delightful
Fascinatingly, it will also have the same effect on the world around you.
In your professional and personal life, you increasingly find challenges to which you have no answers. In the face of such demanding situations, all your education, skills, upbringing, and experience seem to pale.
In moments like these you seek a new kind of breakthrough. One which sparkles with tremendous brilliance, innovation, wit, and imagination.
For instance, as experienced by Sonia, who attended the first workshop in August 2016
Or by Tanya from Australia, as she reflects on her breakthroughs on the banks of a holy river in India
Design is the fundamental knack of finding such breakthroughs in your life: Of seeking responses which are creative, intelligent, and outstanding.
This creativity and intelligence that Design awakens in you, can transform your life into a celebration.
Awaken To Creativity – Participants exploring sound through a Tibetan singing bowl
As Osho says:
“Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach – how you look at things.”
But first, we must awaken Design, and hence the path of meditation.
Why? As a species, a human is a ‘design animal’. Take the inner ability to design both our life and our world away from us, and we won’t survive for a second. Our ability to think in design is already embedded in each one of us. We just have to awaken it, and apply it to every challenge that we face in our life.

Make you more creative and playful
2.Eight-fold Path of Design: More details about this unique methodology, and how it will help you, below. You learn how to apply it successfully through a few group and individual exercises and design-challenges from life.
3.Five Dimensions of Your Life in Focus: You then bring your attention to each of these ‘Five Dimensions’ of your life:
Work
Personal
Skill
Environs
Inner Growth
Identify either the top-most challenge you face, or a goal you wish to achieve, in each one of these areas. You may also choose to just focus on one or two dimensions of your life. You then accept these as design challenges and apply the Eight-fold Path of Design to each. Your challenges remain confidential to you by default, unless you wish to share. The energy and support of the group comes together to accelerate you. As your creativity awakens, you will start finding the path that will eventually lead you to solutions and answers. Some of you might just go home with creative, innovative breakthrough answers to your life’s problems and challenges. Solutions you thought were impossible. This is exactly what happened to participants in the previous event.
Little Magic Book: Awaken Your Creativity Through Design-Think
4. The Magical Book
This book is special and magical. It is only given to participants of the ‘Awaken’ workshops and events. Exclusively. A few pages contain a print of a hand-written calligraphy sentence or two. Participants treasure this mysterious and fascinating book. It is only decoded by you, and the profound meaning of each unique page can only be understood when your meditation goes deep. Participants treasure this little book. Some have kept this little book in their bags, and whenever they seek inspiration or insight into a situation, they simply refer to it.

Meditators need an authentic retreat deep in the roots of spiritual India. Soul-seekers need an enchanting resort with a soul. And we need a user-experience that indulges each one of us with impeccable service. The Alsisar Mahal is where the body, mind, and soul may find a new equilibrium through our meditation and design, merging with their user-experience design, fresco arts, and love of aesthetics and design.

The heritage palace is located in the royal state of Rajasthan, which is also renowned for its centuries of mysticism and mystic schools, as well as for its rich arts and culture.

In the meditations, let go of the stress in your mind. In the swimming pool at this oasis of calm, let go of the tensions in your body. As you swim under the sky, surrounded by the chirping of birds, you may feel blessed to hear the soulful call of the peacock nearby.
