Unshameable: Theatre meets Buddhist teachings Performance Workshop with Mrinal Gautam
Imagine a space where your deepest vulnerabilities become your greatest strengths. A place where shame has no hold on you, and you can step into your true, unshakable self.
Welcome to an immersive, transformative space where you confront the shadows of self-doubt and shame through the clarity of mindful awareness. Guided experiential exercises will help you cultivate inner freedom, turning vulnerabilities into strengths. Theatre meets Buddhist teachings as we explore the depth of these timeless truths through play. Inspired by the Buddha’s path to liberation, this space invites you to uncover your inner brilliance, breaking free from the limiting stories and labels that once confined you.
What Will You Experience?
In this workshop, you won’t just learn—you’ll embody the practices of presence, spontaneity, and emotional freedom. Grounded in mindfulness and non-attachment, you’ll playfully explore self-expression and release the weight of societal expectations.
