Kalaa Dhari

21 Day Journey with your Womb

The 21 day journey with the Womb has been designed with an objective to sit in a circle with a group of Womben who intend to connect with their womb space on a consistent & daily basis. The goal is that by the end of the 21 days, we are able to individually as well as collectively experience the power & potential of connecting with our Womb.

During these 21 days, we will be doing practices that will help us connect with our Womb in a simple and gentle way. We will work consciously towards energising our womb space, tracking our menstrual cycle and deeply listening to our Womb/s with an objective of embodying this deep inner wisdom that our womb hold. 

The journey will be hosted in a closed Facebook group, with Womben who have signed up for the course as members. Every morning, Arundhati from Kalaa Dhari will go live in this Facebook group and guide the participants through a core practice for the day. The comments section of each video will be used by the participants to share their experiences of doing the practice. On each Sunday, we will meeting for an hour for a live workshop that will take us through a deeper process in connecting with our Womb. 

This Journey is being offered on a donation basis. Please donate whatever feels right for you, from your heart. 

We look forward to sitting in sacred womb circle with you.

Let’s Move!

Let’s MOVE is an invitation to show up for yourself once a week, in an online community & to get in touch with your body and to move.

In the fast paced & busy world that we live in, Let’s Move is the oasis co-created by Ilaria Olimpico & Arundhati Samudra; a space where we can slow down to connect with the intelligence and wisdom of our bodies. It is a space where we move while allowing our bodies to guide us.

Our bodies store so much: stories, feels, and unexpressed movements & sounds. Let’s Move is an opportunity to get intimate and expressive with your body and movement.

On Every FRIDAY in May 2025, we bring to you the opportunity to create this space to move with yourself & in community from the comfort of your own homes.

The medium of instruction will be in English with translation to Hindi, Italian & Kannada. We are happy to try creative ways of addressing other potential language barriers.

So join us on this magical journey to move with your body!
