BhāratShakti team has been invited by the Creative School co-founders and trustees of The Healing Circle, Ms. Jayashree Ashok and Mr. B. Ashok to curate and conduct an intensive workshop for about 70 teachers on the theme: Insights from Itihāsas, Purānas and Upanishads. This is a sequel to the workshop conducted last year on Indian Culture and Self-development. These workshops are part of a longer series of teacher-education initiatives under the title ‘Sanskriti च Svādhyāya‘.
This 2-day intensive will be organised at the beautiful and serene campus of Freedom Land – a residential campus in rural Karnataka about 1.5 hours drive from the city. Teachers from The Creative School, Bengaluru as well as those staying and working at Freedom Land will participate in the course.
Situated near the hills, Freedom Land is growing as a conscious community space dedicated to inner freedom and outer productivity through collaborative work. This shall provide a very wholesome environment and the right kind of ambience to delve into topics related to the spiritual foundations of Indian culture as explained by Sri Aurobindo, and their implication for one’s inner journey and progress as well as one’s role as an educator.
The topics covered in the workshop will include:
- Revisiting our stories for new light
- Symbolism in the stories
- Insights for Education in our scriptures
- Dharma and our role as educators
- Shāstra within
