SUMMARY:IKS Meta-Retreat: Towards A Self Conscious Nation
DESCRIPTION:INDICA is pleased to launch an IKS Meta-Retreat on the theme ‘Towards a Self-Conscious Nation State’ from 24-26 November-2023 at Bilvam Foundation Retreat\, Tiruvannamalai. The objective of the Meta-Retreat is to imagine the elements of a Self-Conscious Nation for the civilization where the past\, present and future are in a cultural continuum and harmony – the civilizational Saatatya – while acknowledging and solving existing problems. \nIKS Meta-Retreats are immersive intellectual explorations spanning 2-3 days\, led by an Acharya in the ambience of a Gurukula and conducted with an attitude of Shraddha. Acharya\, is the subject matter expert (SME)\, seeking to explore a specific topic\, discipline\, or domain along with a cohort. 9-12 participants who possess shradda and the right experience in the chosen theme form the cohort. This cohort then comes together with an upanishadic attitude of learning through immersion at a location that echoes the ambience of a Gurukula. \nBharatavarsha has gone through a tumultuous 1000 years. The Dharmic balance of the individual\, society and the state has been altered. Our ancestors fought their civilizational challenges in remarkable ways. With Bhagavad-Anugraha\, we have risen time and again. We have seen several renaissance. Time has come for one more Renaissance/Reconstruction/Navodaya. This Navodaya requires cultural leaders with a penchant to seek a continuum with our multidimensional past while synthesising with the present and resolving problems. The future we imagine must be a harmonious one. This Meta-Retreat is an opportunity for the civilization design thinkers to take a stock of the national flow and imagine a sustainable future for the Nation State. \nThe 2-Day program broadly has 8 sessions which were organised around the following elements weaving together an immersive and transformative experience. \n\nInvocation\nCohort Introduction and Concerns around the subject\nA Stock Taking of the Present\nA Deep Dive into the Past to understand the Present\nProblems\, Concerns\, Conflicts that require Resolution\nThe Emergence and the Opportunities\nDesired Future\nHow do we get to the Desired Future\nThe Next Steps\n\nThe Evenings shall be spent in informal conversations around the subject with a visit to the Arunachala Shiva Temple and Ramana Maharshi Ashram. \nThe Meta-Retreat would be led by Shri. Ajay and Shri. Shivakumar GV. \nAs an outcome\, we seek to create a Vision Paper to be produced and published in 2024-25 along with another focused Group Project of immediate impact. \nINDICA is pleased to invite applications civilization design thinkers to be part of this Meta-Retreat cohort. The cohort will be carefully selected by the SME and INDICA consisting of practitioners\, academics\, thinkers\, and activists. Please send us your bio at namaste@indica.org.in. A 300 word summary mentioning the subject\, domain\, or discipline you seek to explore along with the names of cohort participants they would like to invite should also be furnished. \nTravel\, logistics\, and accommodation at the Retreat will be hosted and managed by INDICA.
