About the facilitators
Tejinder Walia is a psychologist by training and a teacher by profession. After years of research, counselling and teaching, she seeks a way of living that authenticates one’s deepest aspirations. She shares this through holding experiential camps and workshops for all age groups and by evolving spaces to share with other aspirants. Her ability to tell stories to convey the ancient wisdom is riveting for participants of all ages.
Ashlesha Shintre is an electronics engineer turned Dhrupad musician and Yoga therapist in the tradition of Sri T Krishnamacharya. She endeavours to create practices that make the principles from the Yoga Sutra easily accessible. It is rare to meet a person whose practice of Yoga connects with the deeper nuances of the eight fold path. Even rarer is to interact with one equally passionate about music.
Sharmila Deo, an environmentalist, is associated with reputed organisations like Kalpavriksh and Parisar. She is passionate about engaging people with environment related concerns. Her study of Buddhism and putting it in to practice promises a rare but much required combination of activism and spirituality. So in an interaction with her one gains authentic information embedded in love and concern.
