At 5:30 pm, we all assembled at the waiting area at Prani, other than Ahana and Satvic. We went to the place where we were camping. It was the place where they stored old stuff, but now they renovated it, and used it for camps like this or for school trips. We put our bags…
We had a 3 Day Summer Camp for the Somanahalli government school children, where children were introduced to experiential learning based on the theme of birds, interacting with experts in the field. It gives us immense pleasure to organize nature camps, because there are so many children who are eager to learn. There are people…
Doing a session on Contemplation of Nature with FoundNature, we were to spend some time with any object of nature in the way the facilitator Ajay Rastogi described.

Since Darwin, we have generally thought of trees as striving, disconnected loners, competing for water, nutrients and sunlight, with the winners shading out the losers and sucking them dry. The timber industry in particular sees forests…
For a protective parent who’s seen the child since a baby, at some point we start finding it challenging to accept the son or daughter’s increasing independence. We still want to protect the child, and warn the child about how dangerous the world is. Sometimes unknowingly, in our very words we start creating a dangerous…
This a tiny lake with maybe no name. Anyway in Bangalore, we just have to wish a lake by any other name, remains a lake! Around April while walking around southern part of Banashankari over a small dry lake bed, there were some sheep grazing around. The grazing sheep were at first very shy, running…
