Description
Hi I am Kiran,
I started my donation-based holistic wellness center in 2014, in a small village near Mysore, Karnataka, India. The mission of my center is to provide knowledge, techniques and methods of preventive healthcare at the individual, the societal and ecological level no matter the resources of the person.
I am in the process of re-designing the website and would need a kind helping hand with content writing now. Please send a message if you wish to experience our reality.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently need help with two projects: The holistic wellness center and an Eco Park for disable kids that I've been dreaming about for several years and finally is getting more materialized, because now we have the land and already started working. If you have any skills that are going to fit to any or both projects, I will be happy to receive you here!
Types of help and learning opportunities
Charity Work
Art Projects
Help with Eco Projects
Help with Computers/ Internet
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My holistic wellness centre is great for people who are interested to learn massage, karma yoga and organic farming. We can also help to expand your spiritual knowledge.
You can enjoy the food from our beautiful organic farm, with coconuts, bananas, papayas, watermelon, tomatoes etc..plus ayurvedic medicinal plants.
The travellers can explore on their free time in the authentic villages where most westerners aren't likely to have the opportunity to experience India in its raw form. The village has many ancient Hindhu temples in walking distance.
You can also learn Yoga (Hatha) or do your own practice in our relaxing hut, surrounded by growing banana trees, with the best view of the sunrise and set, it is available to you at all times.
You are welcomed to participate in our detox programs, cooking classes, and yoga classes, if there is any teacher available.
