Post the Immersive Journeys, we invite participants to join the Alumni Community as a life-long co-traveller to one another. We take inspiration from the Vipassana model, where the first 10 days module(immersive journeys) is just a starting point into a deeper journey. We see this Community as a practice ground for the work of community restoration.

The Alumni Community is an intentional community of 750+ young people who are propelled by a higher purpose rooted in inner work and service. A community where we spiral closer and spiral away at different times, as a natural flow of life. Some friendships in the community may be deep ties, some of them non-binding connections where we belong.

Essentially, we seek to cultivate five capacities (practices) over the long term. They are Inner Work, Community, Leadership, Healing and Service with the intention of creating harmony with self, other and nature. .

Overview of our Community so far:

Vision for the Community

As we continue to live and act in the world, with a deep or loose tie to this community, our hope is that we are able to move forward with more and more alumni From a relational field to a possibility of joint actions. .

Relational Field: About 80% alumni feel connected to one another in a nurturing relationship of friendship. This happens through all the work of strengthening ties in inter and intro cohort, regional and thematic connections.
Cross Pollination: About 50% alumni feel that their practical needs are met through the community- enabling collaboration and cross pollination of ideas, experiences and initiatives.
Thematic Spaces: Co-creating spaces with mentors and alumni to deepen the essence of any professions that alumni are engaged in. This work also enables connecting the meta view of the world with the micro view of one’s role in the professional world.
Collective Action: Perhaps the community would be ready to respond to the emergent current calls and take joint action on national and international issues.

Aspects of Alumni Work

Over the last 12 years, many efforts have been made to deepen the ties and belonging of the community. Particularly since 2016, we have been offering the Community Support through many different mediums and structures that support the varied needs of individuals at different stages of their journey towards self and purpose led living.
