What does human flourishing truly mean beyond productivity, success, or well-being metrics? In this live, experiential workshop, Bhaskar Goswami invites participants into a guided inquiry that moves beyond ideas and into lived understanding. The session offers a rare chance to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what genuinely allows humans to thrive. The workshop unfolds in three intentional phases. First, participants clarify human flourishing through a guided dyadic exchange that explores embodied, personal definitions of flourishing, both individually and collectively. Second, the group identifies what obstructs flourishing through an inquiry that surfaces internal and systemic patterns, assumptions, and pressures that quietly undermine vitality in our lives, work, and institutions. Third, the session concludes with a short, grounded practice that helps participants sense a clear and practical next step toward greater alignment, meaning, and aliveness. This is not a lecture. It is a participatory, reflective experience designed to cultivate clarity, presence, and insight in a short yet powerful format. Because the experience builds progressively, punctuality is essential. Ideal for educators, researchers, students, professionals, and leaders curious about flourishing as a lived reality, not just an abstract ideal.
