Flow of Life

A customised intervention, to provide guidance and tools, to resolve & transform a particular life situation and move ahead.

 

An organization can host these or individuals can sign-up when these sessions are announced. 

Be

We are human beings but sadly, most people function like human doings, most of the time. In this one day BeShop, Vibha creates conditions and takes through activities by which one learns how to “BE” more. The interesting part is that when one is more in ‘being’ mode, one accomplishes much more, both in terms of quality and quantity. The BeShop is anchored in ancient wisdoms and neuroscience.

Mindful Living

In this one day workshop, Vibha teaches how to integrate mindfulness in day to day living. It covers practical activities regarding mindful eating, mindful walking, mindful drinking, mindful use of technology, speaking mindfully and mindful listening. Vibha also shares about the concept of mindfulness, its benefits and the  neuroscience behind its benefits.

Holistic Decluttering

In this one day workshop, Vibha shares how to live lightly. It is about why and how of de-cluttering of physical, virtual/tech and mental spaces. One learns to apply simple tools to de-clutter and feel a sense of lightness and flow of energy. When you remove something from any space (physical cupboards, your mind or your phone/laptop/email), you make space for something new to come! Is’nt it true ?  

Design a Meaningful Life

In this three days retreat, Vibha facilitates a deep dive into  Belonging (Connection to larger community, forging and sustaining relationships),  Transendence (Connection to something bigger than one’s life. It can be tied to spirituality, nature, etc., Awareness, Connection (Compassion, Appreciation) , Narrative about Self, Purpose (Values, finding meaning, reason to continue on even when life is difficult).

Self-compassion

In this one day workshop Vibha facilitates to understand self-love and self-critic and how to increase self-love and self-compassion, which is not about false sense of ego. She teaches neuroscience based activties to practice self-compassion, draw boundaries, identify energy leaks, etc. and experience a sense of expansiveness within. 

Flow of Life

Having failed and risen time and again, this work has Vibha’s heart, soul and mind. She guides for 360 degree view of life and helps look beyond symptoms/behaviours, guides to tap inner wisdom & articulate what gives meaning in life. Her tools help stop self- sabotaging beliefs & behaviours and then make choices with complete awareness. In this process, Vibha plays the role of a GUIDE and NOT a mentor, friend or teacher. Click here to read more about the Flow of Life Guidance.

Vibha’s facilitation process is gentle and provides ‘life nurturing’ experience to the participants. In her workshop closing circles, participants often share that they felt very álive’, ‘nurtured’ and were in no hurry to leave the space. In addition to Vibha’s way of “being” and “doing”, such nurturing happen the way physical space is set-up.

Circle

Our workshops are always held in circle seating arrangement. Vibha’s biggest circle had 225 participants in a consultation in Bihar for Unicef and smallest had five people for StartFund’s board meeting in the Netherlands. Regardless of group size and subject matter, many participants have shared that they felt calming energy in the circle or concentric circles set-up aids non-verbal communication, breaks hierarchy and supports respectful listening.

Nature

In all our workshops we ensure to get nature in the room, if doing it in-doors. That is why we do not do workshops in basement rooms. Natural light, air and plants are that adorn our workshop circles as these aid flow of energy and positively impact participants’ state of being. Such physical spaces create a conducive atmosphere in which ideas, imagination, information and skills merge. 

Bells

We have noticed three benefits of using bells in our workshops to facilitate conversations, as is evident for use of a ‘talking stick’ in native American culture. The bell can be used to indicate when the time is up for an activity. Holding something in hands reduces anxiety while talking in front of others. The way facilitator uses it, it provides equal choice for all to speak. Additionally the soothing sound of bells adds calming vibrations to the energy of the space.
