Facilitating a paradigm shift in thinking and being.
Much of what transpires in the world is intriguing for me, I look out for events and trends that has a direct impact on human evolution. I then analyze (parts) these trends and put them together to see how they form a meta-pattern (synthesis).
Evolutionary principle (EP)
Participating in the evolution of consciousness, growing in the higher expression of one's consciousness, accessing higher ranges of the human mind, and merging with the Supreme are integral aspects of a newer and ever-new version of the current human being. This principle aligns with the teachings of Sri Aurobindo, as I dedicate my life to his Integral Yoga.
This principle guides my inner work as I embark on the journey inwards, and I extend an invitation to others to join me on this transformative path. This invitation is facilitated through residential retreats set in a natural landscape. Whether you are a teacher, corporate leader, school leader, or anything else, you are fundamentally a human being. In reality, consciousness serves as the substratum in which all life unfolds. Without consciousness, we would not be aware of our thoughts, memories, feelings, and everything happening within our awareness. These aspects are mere reflections in our consciousness, and by recognising this, I understand that I am not defined by what I am aware of.
Recognising the evolution of consciousness becomes imperative in the face of the advancing technological singularity. Embracing this evolution is essential to safeguard ourselves and to restore our freedom, intelligence, and human agency. This enables us to think and live life as an integral expression of our deepest self.
Systems principle (SP)
Systems may be referred to as entities, and entities may encompass a wide range, including objects, people, ideas, culture, technology, etc. They are essentially interconnected and interdependent, with each part contributing to the whole. No single part exists in isolation from the entirety.
Our perspective on the world often stems from an outdated worldview, where we dissect the world into isolated parts and analyse them separately to infer the nature of the whole. This approach leads to a significant flaw in our perception, resulting in a 'reality bias.'
The Systems Principle (SP) guides us in understanding that the entire existence is a network of relationships, where each element influences the others—a realisation of co-dependent arising known as Pratityasamutpada-bodh [प्रतीत्यसमुत्पाद–बोध]. I bring this new reality and understanding to organisations, institutions, and individuals, sparking interest in design thinking.
My work involves opening up processes that facilitate a transition from an old, Descartesian, Newtonian worldview to a Systems thinking perspective, which culminates in quantum principles and ultimately merges with The Integral Principle.

Facilitator & Consultant
Trends, analysis and synthesis
Discussions
Small group discussions and dialogue on topical issues pertaining to human growth and evolution, learning and education, impact of social media, technology on adult and children, parenting, schooling, future and trends that are shaping up humanity.
Workshops
Extended discussion, going deep into a topic of concern leading to introspection, analysis, exploring our biases, thinking etc.
Retreats
These are experiences with small group to stand back from life and the minds functioning to gain insight into life, thinking and accessing higher ranges of the human mind and opening up faculties that are dormant in us.
Learning Matrix
Design physical spaces that enables real learning to happen, discovering the interplay of the physical environment and our mental faculties and senses. Encouraging design thinking to facilitate education delivery.
Build & lead
Trends, analysis and synthesis
Institutes & Organizations
What does it take to build and lead an organization or an institute? How and where does one start? How does one differentiate? What can systems thinking approach do to people and organizations? Is it about survival? Adapting? Or evolving to a next level? Is your organization a follower organization or a leading organization?
Purpose and purpose alignment
What is a purpose? What happens to organizations and institutes that do not have a purpose? How do we align all the stakeholders to the central purpose? How do we lead and manage change?
