It's okay for you to let yourself free from the boundaries we contain ourselves within here.

We're in this for the long haul and well there's nothing normal about this.
So come!
Let's hold each other together in solidarity.
Collect. Express. Process. Liberate. Live!

Therapy helps us align our lives with our value systems to bring in a quality aligned authentic life. It's imperative still to realise the context of the environment you live/exist in. You can't feel regulated when you know the dogs are out to get you. You'll run for your dear life!

Therapy alone can't heal political anxieties, structural lapses, systemic crises that fail us everyday.

We have to speak up, stand against the systems of oppression, lack of accountable systems and credible structures to bring change.

Accountability, personal and collective responsibility, sustainability, credible structures , safety, security, dependability, agency, humane decency, human rights, equality, EMPATHY!

THE PERSONAL IS POLITICAL!

As budding therapist's, it's scary to be stepping into the real professional world with little to no hands-on experience of what the therapy room looks or feels like.

I wish someone had taught me these things and prepared me for the real therapy room. But I've survived somehow thanks to an amazing bunch of mentors, supervisors and peers that I found along the way.

That's why I'm inspired to create this BootCamp because things change here.

You learn about integrative approaches for multiple schools of therapy, supervised role plays, ethics in psychotherapy and nurturing the therapist self, along with a few handy resources for you to keep.

🛋️When: 11 AM - 4 PM
🛋️Dates: 25 July 2026 and 26 July 2026.
🛋️Where: Next 57 Co-working Space, Industrial Area, Chandigarh.

*Certificate of Completion* included.

Kindly explore the link in bio for further details or Drop a comment "Therapist's Summer BootCamp" and I'll DM you the details.

A perfect concoction of whimsy, depth, nuance, specialisation, introspection, sitting with the emotions, experiencing the richness of life and avoidance all at once. Last week was something!

To think that I had always felt alone in my experience of grief. And mother's day has always felt weird. Heavy. Estranged. Guess not anymore!

The people around me just won’t get what I am experiencing. They’re there, here with me.
Supportive! Trying. Understanding. But meeting me where I am at? Probably not so much.
I know what it feels like. To be alone. To feel orphaned all of a sudden.
And still show up, despite it all.
Put on a strong face and get stuff done.
Show up for my loved ones.

And yet, sit with the grief of but what about me? What about all of this grief? This rage? This sadness? This love?
Do I still have all of the answers? Oh hell no! Not even close.

But have we created a space for you to just be and witness?
A community! A little village. Yes!
Of people who see you. In safety. In grief. In all of the multitudes of mixed emotions.

This mother’s day weekend, we held a space for Tides X @bicblr at Bangalore. A most wholesome experience, so many daughters showed up and allowed their expressions some space, witnessing each other's experience and sharing. I’m most grateful for this experience.

An extensive gratitude to @gyanchiiii for supporting us with the seamless navigation of the space. And a deeper gratitude to my partner in this @fizapreet for pulling off the offline event. None of this would’ve been possible without you.

I couldn’t have asked for more!
A huge thank you to everyone who showed up, shared and made it.
To hosting more such fulfilling spaces this year and more.

Sharing a few behind the scenes snippets towards the end! God, I'm grateful we did this.

📍9 May | Sat | 4:00PM

➡️ Mother Grief

📍Please note that this event is only for womxn aged 18+

A reflective, art-based reflective circle for those who identify as women, Tides invites you to sit with the loss of your mother. This includes cis women, trans women, and non-binary or gender expansive individuals, who resonate with themes of mothers, grief, and navigating life after this loss. The aim is to bear witness to the grief in ourselves and in each other.

Participants will be guided through sharing circles and experiential activities using clay and beads. Not to eulogize the mother-daughter relationship, but to make space for its greys and nuances. You are not expected to perform your loss, or grieve the ‘right’ way. All of it is welcome here: the tenderness, the anger, the ambivalence, the love.

Free and open to all ✉️ by @ofthemindandheart

Tides: Moving with the Mother Grief — Rediscovering and Rebuilding the Self (We have a few slots remaining)

A 6-week online support group for women navigating the tender, complex landscape of mother loss.

This is for the daughters who no longer have mothers.
For those riding the waves of grief, memory, and meaning.
For those learning to live again—with love, with longing, and with the self that emerges on the other side of loss.

Beginning on Mother’s Day, May 11, we invite you into a gently held space to sit beside your grief, let the tides move through you, and begin the slow, soulful work of rediscovery and rebuilding.

✨ Weekly Sunday sessions (May 11 – June 15)
✨ Facilitated by therapists and fellow grievers, Fizapreet & Harsimrat
✨ Intimate circle of 6–8 participants
✨ Reflective prompts, storytelling, art-based explorations, and shared witnessing
✨ Google Meet | 90 mins each week
✨Session time: 12pm to 1:30 pm
✨Standard fee: ₹6,000

This space is not about “getting over it.”
It’s about learning to live with it—making space for the grief, while also making space for you.

You, as you are now.
You, as you are becoming.

Grief, though devastating, often cracks open the questions we were never taught to ask:
Who am I without her?
What do I need now?
How do I care for the woman I am becoming?

This space will gently support you as you begin to reimagine yourself—rooted in memory, anchored in love, and open to possibility.

We’re so grateful you’re here.
