Veera Dharma
The Way of the Warrior
A program offered by Katha Arts LLP
We live in a world, where we are surrounded by distractions of various forms. These distractions are easy and tough at the same time. These distractions puts up fake challenges in front of us in the name of bank loans for house, automobiles etc. and also they give us a sense of false comfort in the name of secured job, secured future etc. But are these challenges the real challenges of our life? and is our future really secured? Somewhere in the struggle between the push and pull of these distractions we lose in touch with the Warrior within. The Warrior who wants to create and not just manufacture. The Warrior who wants to express rather than just to react. The Warrior who wants to live life rather than just surviving.
The presence of this warrior will be very evident in some and dormant in the others. But the fact that there exists a warrior in everyone of us, who is willing and eager to engage with the challenges of life cannot be denied. It is important to identify this warrior in ourself and nurture him, prepare him for the greater challenges that lie ahead. But how do we do that?
Come to our three day workshop where we take you on a step by step process to explore and experience the Warrior within. The sessions will be fun filled, highly exploratory and experiential in nature. We use the essence of our traditional martial arts Kalari & Silambam, Principles and Philosophies of Yoga and Theatre techniques. NO prerequisites are required in any of the above mentioned art forms. Willingness to work and open mindedness are the only requirements.
