What will be the Process?

The Journey to Self-Mastery (JTSM) is an interactive, joyful, group process of self-discovery and collaborative learning. JTSM is an endeavour for individuals to come together as a vibrant gathering, and learn from the vast and varied experiences and gifts of all those participating. The process of collaborative learning is underpinned on a wholesome interaction among the participants, with each one being accountable for their own learning and growth through insights derived from the group’s perspectives.

Accordingly, there will be a combination of group sessions (indoors and outdoors), visits to places of high spiritual energy (in and around Srinagar), meditation, team-games to strengthen learning, music, enjoyment and fun. The learnings will be facilitated by experienced trainers/facilitators, apart from the participants themselves.
