Since 2014, we hosted Awakin Talks evenings in Mumbai, where remarkable speakers shared their story of how inner transformation led them to a life of service. It has been profoundly inspiring and moving experience -- so we're doing it again!

On December 23rd, the Awakin Mumbai in Mumbai is hosting Awakin Talks, an evening of inspiration where four diverse speakers from around India will share their stories. Uncle Niketu all the way from Nagaland, Sushma Iyengar whose grassroots work has touched countless communities, Chaitnya-bhai who is Gandhian educator who believes our work should go from small to smaller as we proceed, the Lobsang Phuntsok whose work in the Himalayas has been the subject of Emmy-Award winning film, Tashi and the Monk.

About The EVENT: Two simple ideas lie behind Awakin Talks. First, intrinsically motivated service creates a very different pathways to social change than merely pursuing external impact alone. And second, by simply holding space to share and listen to such stories, we unlock a profound new possibility in society.  We start to Awakin -- awaken with kin. Vinoba Bhave used to say, "What rises up like a fountain, will return in the form of many distributed drops." We feel that, in this era, social change will manifest via many small and decentralized efforts and our hope with this event is to presence those droplets of inspiration -- so everyone is moved to shine their corner of world with great love. In keeping with our organizing principle of depth over breadth, the event is limited to 150 people. Moreover, we have noticed that when we lead with love, unexpected synergies unfold organically and we very much count on amplifying that magic.

To join, please RSVP below and we'll email the details shortly. Registration is required, but the entire event is offered as a gift, by local volunteers. Thank you for helping co-create such a sacred field of love!
