As we enter 2024, the world is on an edge. We are experiencing multiple crises converge simultaneously including environmental, social, political, economic and personal. Media is full with news of climate emergency, wildfires, droughts, wars, political oppression, and mental health crisis. While these crises might look separate and distinct on the outside, they share many common roots.

How do we respond to such crises?

It's clear that just dealing with the symptoms is not enough. The governments and corporations of the world are tricking us towards technological solutions that will supposedly take us out of the crises without realizing that the challenges run deeper. There is a need of more fundamental questioning and understanding of the systems from where these crises are born. But there are hardly any spaces for youth where such introspection can happen.

​​​​​​​

Earth-Shastra is a 9-day immersive journey in the lap of nature, that will bring together 30 young changemakers from across India - to do precisely that. To slow down with a community of like-hearted people and make sense of the climate emergency and converging crises of our times. Its a leadership experience to orient one’s life path as a response towards greater harmony with oneself, others and nature. The focus is to develop the capacity to understand the big picture and the humility to start with small actions.

It inadvertently involves focus on personal transformation and nurturing deep community over the 9-days and beyond. The immersive journey will involve nature connects, reflective circles, hands-on activities, content sessions and mentoring. After seven remarkable editions in Palampur, Palghar, Udaipur, Uttarakhand and online, we are launching the 8th edition that shall happen in Auroville, Tamil Nadu from 21st - 29th September, 2024.
