Butterfly
​
As mentioned, there will be multiple sessions going on at the same time. While you can choose which session/workshop you want to go to, you can also choose to be like a butterfly and go from one session to another as you feel like. Some sessions require full participation so facilitator might not allow butterflies in their sessions. It is always good to ask the facilitator to join in middle.
​
What is Gift culture?
​
The spirit of Gift has sustained Life, over a great long period of time. Mindful, free and passionate sharing of resources (of all kinds - materials, time, skills, etc.) is known to have sustained and stabilized communities and continue to.
And this free sharing of resources came from a collective understanding or a common feeling that we are all one.
And when we say Pitaara is an event hosted in the spirit of gift culture, we mean to say that the Gift is much beyond money. Yes, your financial contributions will support the work of the amazing facilitators who have offered their sessions out of love. It will as well support the future programs and events hosted by Self Designed Learning Alliance and as well provide for Covid Relief.
But the Gift, as we said is much beyond that. One necessarily doesn't always give back to where one received from. They as well offer forward. The Gift can be time, skills, knowledge and resources. It could be even help in hosting the next Pitaara meet.
Let the work and works of this community and all the individuals who have come together be sustained by what you offer.
