About​ ​Anveshan​ ​Yatra  -​ ​-​ ​-​ ​-​ ​X

An​ ​Anveshan​ ​Yatra​ ​is​ ​a​ ​journey​ ​into​ ​the​ ​unknown.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​not​ ​just​ ​a​ ​physical  travel​ ​from​ ​place​ ​to​ ​place,​ ​but​ ​an​ ​adventure​ ​through​ ​the​ ​unseen​ ​Self. 

There​ ​is​ ​no​ ​purpose​ ​of​ ​this​ ​travel,​ ​except​ ​to​ ​discover​ ​the​ ​hidden​ ​purpose  for​ ​which​ ​each​ ​individual​ ​is​ ​born.​ ​To​ ​discover​ ​your​ ​own​ ​unique​ ​design.​ ​An  Anveshan​ ​Yatra​ ​is​ ​for​ ​those​ ​who​ ​are​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​figure​ ​it​ ​out.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​tool  to​ ​help​ ​you​ ​find​ ​clarity,​ ​to​ ​widen​ ​your​ ​perspective​ ​and​ ​arrive​ ​on​ ​a 

purpose​ ​that​ ​you​ ​passionately​ ​feel​ ​for.​ ​The​ ​Yatra​ ​gives​ ​you​ ​time,​ ​space  and​ ​support​ ​to​ ​take​ ​a​ ​walk​ ​through​ ​the​ ​corners​ ​of​ ​your​ ​mind​ ​that​ ​are 

conquered​ ​by​ ​fear.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​an​ ​exercise​ ​in​ ​defining​ ​your​ ​core​ ​values,​ ​find 

the​ ​substance​ ​that​ ​you​ ​are​ ​made​ ​of.​ ​Anveshan​ ​helps​ ​you​ ​to​ ​draw​ ​a​ ​life​ ​map  and​ ​introspect​ ​on​ ​what​ ​you​ ​burn​ ​for.   

What​ ​makes​ ​you,​ ​you?   

Looking​ ​back​ ​on​ ​your​ ​life,​ ​which​ ​events​ ​have​ ​affected​ ​you​ ​most?​ ​If​ ​you​ ​are  continuing​ ​to​ ​operate​ ​from​ ​a​ ​space​ ​of​ ​fear,​ ​the​ ​Yatra​ ​is​ ​a​ ​journey​ ​to​ ​the  other​ ​side,​ ​into​ ​the​ ​space​ ​of​ ​love.​ ​A​ ​transition​ ​from​ ​the​ ​fear​ ​of 

judgement​ ​to​ ​the​ ​courage​ ​for​ ​truth;​ ​Your​ ​truth.​ ​And​ ​once​ ​you​ ​have​ ​looked  yourself​ ​in​ ​the​ ​eye,​ ​we​ ​will​ ​arm​ ​you​ ​with​ ​practices​ ​that​ ​you​ ​can​ ​carry  back​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​the​ ​journey​ ​of​ ​self-discovery.

Why​ ​Narmada​ ​Yatra  -​ ​-​ ​-​ ​-​ ​X 

Narmada​ ​is​ ​the​ ​longest​ ​of​ ​the​ ​only​ ​three​ ​rivers​ ​in​ ​India​ ​that​ ​flow​ ​from  east​ ​to​ ​west.​ ​She​ ​is​ ​the​ ​lifeline​ ​of​ ​two​ ​big​ ​states,​ ​Madhya​ ​Pradesh​ ​and  Gujarat.​ ​Originating​ ​in​ ​Amarkantak​ ​and​ ​flowing​ ​into​ ​the​ ​Arabian​ ​Sea​ ​via 

Kutch,​ ​this​ ​river​ ​has​ ​carved​ ​her​ ​way​ ​through​ ​the​ ​rift​ ​valley​ ​between​ ​the  Vindhya​ ​and​ ​Satpura​ ​range​ ​since​ ​times​ ​immemorial.​ ​Every​ ​year,​ ​pilgrims  perform​ ​the​ ​"Narmada​ ​Parikrama”,​ ​circumambulating​ ​the​ ​river​ ​in​ ​hope​ ​of  absorbing​ ​some​ ​of​ ​the​ ​powerful​ ​energy​ ​she​ ​is​ ​believed​ ​to​ ​radiate. 

Along​ ​her​ ​journey,​ ​the​ ​Narmada​ ​graciously​ ​provides​ ​livelihood​ ​and​ ​water​ ​to  many​ ​communities,​ ​including​ ​indigenous​ ​tribes​ ​who​ ​have​ ​made​ ​the​ ​forests 

along​ ​the​ ​river​ ​shore​ ​their​ ​home,​ ​their​ ​lives​ ​centred​ ​on​ ​the​ ​Spirit​ ​of​ ​the  Narmada. 

Over​ ​a​ ​span​ ​of​ ​fifteen​ ​days,​ ​The​ ​Narmada​ ​Yatra​ ​opens​ ​a​ ​window​ ​to​ ​the​ ​life 

 

of​ ​the​ ​river,​ ​its​ ​people​ ​and​ ​the​ ​diverse​ ​ecology​ ​it​ ​supports.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​an  exploration​ ​of​ ​the​ ​people-centric​ ​Movements​ ​that​ ​the​ ​Narmada​ ​inspires  along​ ​with​ ​the​ ​issues​ ​that​ ​threaten​ ​its​ ​sanctity​ ​today.

Pedagogy  -​ ​-​ ​-​ ​-​ ​X

We​ ​follows​ ​a​ ​pedagogy​ ​which​ ​derives  its​ ​principles​ ​from​ ​the​ ​two​ ​very 

significant​ ​models​ ​of​ ​learning​ ​and  transformation;​ ​Conscious​ ​Full 

Spectrum​ ​&​ ​Experiential​ ​Learning.​ ​The 

objective​ ​of​ ​using​ ​these​ ​frameworks​ ​is  to​ ​source​ ​and​ ​activate​ ​the​ ​inner  wisdom​ ​of​ ​an​ ​explorer​ ​through​ ​an  enriching​ ​experience​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​a  paradigm​ ​shift​ ​in​ ​the​ ​education  process. 

  CONSCIOUS​ ​FULL​ ​SPECTRUM​ ​RESPONSE​ ​MODEL   The​ ​Conscious​ ​Full-Spectrum​ ​response​ ​is​ ​a​ ​unique​ ​response​ ​approach​ ​created  by​ ​Dr.​ ​Monica​ ​Sharma.​ ​The​ ​approach​ ​is​ ​based​ ​on​ ​extensive​ ​experience​ ​in​ ​the  application​ ​of​ ​various​ ​methods​ ​for​ ​tangible​ ​results​ ​for​ ​people’s 

development​ ​worldwide.​ ​This​ ​meta-frame​ ​is​ ​designed,​ ​simultaneously​ ​in 

time,​ ​to​ ​solve​ ​problems​ ​and​ ​generate​ ​measurable​ ​results,​ ​transform​ ​systems  that​ ​perpetuate​ ​these​ ​problems,​ ​&​ ​create​ ​new​ ​patterns​ ​sourced​ ​from 

individuals’​ ​inner​ ​capacity​ ​&​ ​Transformational​ ​leadership.​ ​This​ ​work​ ​plays  a​ ​critical​ ​role​ ​in​ ​redefining​ ​‘Development’​ ​encompassing​ ​our​ ​inner​ ​and  outer​ ​worlds,​ ​both​ ​as​ ​individuals​ ​and​ ​groups,​ ​so​ ​as​ ​to​ ​source​ ​the​ ​far 

reaches​ ​of​ ​the​ ​human​ ​and​ ​cultural​ ​capabilities​ ​to​ ​address​ ​the​ ​challenges  we​ ​face.

  EXPERIENTIAL​ ​LEARNING  Learning​ ​by​ ​doing​ ​is​ ​a​ ​well-known​ ​model​ ​in​ ​education.​ ​Kolb's​ ​Experiential 

Learning​ ​Theory​ ​(Kolb,​ ​1984)​ ​defines​ ​experiential​ ​learning​ ​as​ ​"the​ ​process  whereby​ ​knowledge​ ​is​ ​created​ ​through​ ​the​ ​transformation​ ​of​ ​experience.  Knowledge​ ​results​ ​from​ ​the​ ​combination​ ​of​ ​grasping​ ​and​ ​transforming  experience.
