Everything you need to know about BAHARA 2025
In today’s world, ‘wellness’ has unfortunately become an industry. On one side, we confront the stark politics and irony of something as fundamental as well-being being so difficult to access. Yet, on the flip side, the emotional effort, care, and discipline essential for fostering spaces for well-being and transformation are often undervalued.
BAHARA is a heart-centered initiative aimed at bridging this gap, ensuring that the valuable modalities and expertise of skilled facilitators are accessible to everyone, creating opportunities for all to benefit.
Is BAHARA for me?
BAHARA is for anyone above the age of 18. For people across the gender spectrum, nationalities, cultures, experiences, professions & across all social & political identities.
Though the medium of instruction & facilitation is English, we are happy to find creative ways for translation & participation of persons who speak in other languages.
The prices of the tickets for BAHARA 2025 has been made less expensive with a sliding scale to ensure accessibility. However, despite this, if you need a scholarship, please get in touch with us: reach.kalaadhari@gmail.com
