Miksang: mindful photography workshop

Editor — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 12:16:22 +0000

Miksang – mindful photography workshop
Saturday 20th December, 9.30am – 12pm
Auroville

Miksang is a contemplative photography practice. Meaning ‘Good Eye’ in Tibetan, it is a practice of perception – of opening to what’s actually here, right in front of us.

We all carry so much: our opinions, ideas & learnings of what makes a “good” photograph, our habitual ways of seeing. This practice invites us to put that down, to meet the world with curiosity & tenderness. When we synchronize our eye, heart & mind, something shifts & we open to the ordinary magic in the world.

What we’ll do together: Introduction to Miksang, mindfulness to attune ourselves, then direct encounter through practice.

Who is this for? Everyone. No experience needed—just bring yourself & something to take photos with (your phone is perfect)

Booking required: WA Helen on 7094753054 or innersightav.org

The workshop is guided by Helen at Inner Sight & contribution is INR 600

Sculptor Sculpture – a play

Editor — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 09:11:51 +0000

As the sculptor leaves the space, the sculptures are bestowed with the birth of breath. They begin to wonder and explore their surroundings, questioning their own origins and existence, as well as each other’s.
Upon the sculptor’s return, he is filled with skepticism to find his creations distorted and altered from their original forms. Somehow, the sculptures are still and concealing their living form from him. Eventually, the sculptures start moving in and around the sculptor, dominating him. The lines between dreams, reality, and hallucination blur to their utmost limit.
