This week we came up with a list of ACTIONS possible for MY INTEREST – the idea was to self discover those possibilities by THINKING about the interest in many different ways – ANHAD (boundless). The idea was to THINK of the possibilities. The idea was to COLLECT. The idea was to go beyond our own limitations!
Thought club was about sharing a video about your interest, skills involved in your interest – The intent to experience interconnectedness through our interest. We watched together and got introduced to many more interests – isn’t it beautiful!Astronomy and observation, Art and play, Innovation And coconut shell, Dance and meditation,Music and joy, Doing and trying,Books and joy, Film making and art of it,Football and drills, Coins and collection, Gymnastic and strength, Drawing and cats,Plants and patterns, Possibilities Possibilities! Ya! there are many possibilities.
GruhaPravesam to a child’s house was another opportunity to learn! One child took up the responsibility to coordinate. We traveled from Campus to HSR layout, using various modes of transports, catching a local buses, finding directions, calculating our expenses, buying tickets for mixed age, changing bus, chasing train status…were just a few of the opportunities where she took complete responsibility. She used various skills to navigate all of us. And sumptuous food, and puja and music jam and meeting more people, receiving hospitality, and blessing the new house were some of the side benefits of this outdoor!
