Bright Spots
We are inspired by elders and by peer practitioners who nurture and nudge the world in and around them towards a more beautiful blossoming.
The wholesome practices of Mirambika Free Progress School, The Yellow Train School and Co-veda Learning Center, and organisations supporting learning like Kaivalya Education Foundation, Youth Alliance of India, Indian School of Democracy and Aarambh, among many more, have carved a path which gives us the courage (and internal safety) to ask the difficult questions above, and to reflect on how they show up in our lives.
We are also alive to our own difficulties: managing our emotions, consuming consciously, holding deep and nurturing relationships, managing conflict, managing money, and many more. We feel the multitude of challenges we are all facing, and we continue to work on ourselves.
The invitation we hesitantly dare to extend to the world is a community of practitioners: people seeking this path of sadhana, and building a learning community, usually known as a school, around that collective seeking.
For now, a few of us have come together to work on ourselves, and to create a conducive environment for our seeking, in the company of children.
We call it a socially driven school, which means only this: we say what kind of adults we hope to add to the world, and we build the school backwards from that. Today that is three classes on a college campus in Baraut, one year old, and everything on this site is something you can come and check.
