Life changing. With great charisma, Gautam provided an engaging perspective into concepts that I had never considered. It was an eye-opener

The concept

Format
One of the following options
1) The preferred option is an intensive three-hour session. A 60 minute session on a topic of your choice, followed by a breakout forum style session of 50 minutes and a concluding question and answer session of another 45 minutes. 10-15 minute breaks between sessions.
2) A 90 minute session, in which a topic of your choice will be presented for 60 minutes directly followed by a 30 minute Q and A module. This option is advised only if the three hour option is not possible since the level of interaction as well as content is limited by the 90 minute time consideration.
3) A more comprehensive one or two day retreat event covering multiple topics is also offered and is the first choice for a chapter looking to delve deeper into the philosophy of life. Contact us for further details.
