The Centre for Mindful Presence focuses on the theory and practices of primarily mindfulness, but also emotional and mental wellbeing that connect the body and mind. From 30 day practices to short duration one-off workshops to research on the intersectionality of wellbeing and social structures, there's something for everyone who feels inclined towards understanding themselves and the world around them better.

In April 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic took over the world, Camping With a Cause was born. An initiative that runs 100% fundraisers by organising workshops children and adults. Over the last 12 months, we've raised money through 8 different workshops that dealt with art, theatre, music, wellness and mindfulness.

Working full-time for a life skills training company gave me the opportunity to facilitate communication and value based public speaking for children, while also dabbling in operations, business development and marketing.This is where I taught a classroom for the first time. Something I had looked forward to since the day I realized teaching was a profession. I created the class content, brainstormed with my team on effective teaching methods and travelled to small towns creating awareness about holistic education. Then there was the actual process of engaging a class, of realizing that the most well laid plans could fail to impress the precocious kids and above all, that it was a hard job that could often leave you exhausted and close to tears. And just when you want to give up, a child who habitually refuses to speak, surprises you with an articulate thought or question; they begin to express themselves and the day becomes positively memorable, for them and for me.I’ve taught in schools with different cultural and structural norms. In some schools, there is a rigid emphasis of gender constructs and in some others, scores are more important than learning. Thanks to the business development and marketing, I understood that schools aren't readily accepting of new or non-traditional ideas. If it’s not the mindset, it’s the budget or time that constrains a school’s ability to experiment. I observed the pros and cons of the different approaches.
