Our Thematic Areas
Satvan wishes to create an atmosphere for people to undertake a self driven inquiry. To complement this journey the space will have a few themes as a starting point. The approach to these different themes would be with an intent of integration and collaboration rather than fragmentation.
History and Natural History
The relationship of human beings with their environment in the past and the consequences of this relationship on humans and their environment.
Psychology and Sociology
Human lifestyle is a result of human behaviour. An understanding of human behaviour is necessary to understand the complexity of human lifestyle.
Arts and literature
The relationship between arts, culture and environment. How art can influence human behaviour?
Self Reliance
The relationship of Arts, Sciences, Culture and Human Lifestyle with Economics
Working with the land and manual work
Understanding the value of manual work and working with the body
Philosophy and Spirituality
Role of Philosophy, Spirituality and Self inquiry.
Science and research
Role of Science, technology and research in creating harmony between human beings and Nature
“I do not know if you have discovered your relationship with nature. There is no ‘right’ relationship, only the understanding of relationship. Right relationship implies the acceptance of a formula, as does right thought. Right thought and right thinking are two different things. Right thought is merely conforming to what is respectable, whereas right thinking is movement, it is the product of understanding, and understanding is constantly undergoing modification and change.”
– J Krishnamurti
