A week-long Experiential Carnival for Christmas and New Year's (2023) curated at Mudhouse Hostels, Jibhi. Each day packed with workshops on self-exploration and expression, live music, storytelling sessions, hiking expeditions, and creating experiential corners. As part of the core team, my role involved curating the line-up for workshop facilitators and musicians, scheduling the events, directing the shoot, creating content around the events, setting up the decor for different corners, along with hosting our full house with games, conversations, energizers, and ice-breaking sessions.
Concept, script, voiceover, and experience curation of setting up a 'hug chair' at our property, and making travellers play improv games through it.
Curated a session on de-mystifying art, where all of us are creators. Breaking the stereotypes around being 'creative' by merging the individual and group human elements. The workshop helped us all write a poem on a mutual metaphor based on our lives.
Scheduling, coordinating, and documenting a session on re-discovering ourselves.
The group was divided into teams of two, who were asked to draw the physical outline of their partner on a chart paper. The partner then spent an hour reflecting on their life, expressing how the river of life flows for them, on the chart. The participants were free to use words, colours, shades, leaves, shrubs, any other natural elements, even blank spaces. These three hours of the workshop made us feel all emotions, from joy and happiness to love, anger, pride, and sadness. Towards the end, it turned out to be a healing experience for all, where we emerged stronger than when we had started.

Ideating, curating, creating, and facilitating different kinds of experiences that were part of the Carnival. Hosting a session on sound energy, where participants are asked to get creative and produce sounds through any object that has a voice, thereby creating a collective rhythm, similar to a drum circle. Documenting other sessions, setting up potluck kitchen, and more.
