In a refreshing departure from the urban hustle and bustle, 57 participants from Mumbai and Pune Branch gathered for a seminar, combining philosophy, volunteering and fraternity at the Manav Bustan Rural centre  in Mangaon. 

One of the highlights of the weekend was a lively fraternity evening, which featured a warm bonfire, accompanied by songs, dance, and shared moments of camaraderie. The evening proved to be a great way to relax and bond with fellow participants, setting the tone for the rest of the seminar.

Participants also took part in a series of engaging exercises designed to encourage self-reflection and group interaction providing a perfect blend of practical philosophy. A friendly volleyball match provided a fun way for people to get active and work together as a team.

Many took advantage of the serene rural surroundings to immerse themselves in nature spending quiet moments stargazing by the river, while others took a refreshing dip in its cool waters. 

Overall, the seminar provided a perfect balance of learning, relaxation, and fun, allowing participants to recharge in a natural setting and leave with renewed energy and stronger connections.
