Eurythmy in India - Pictures from Inside the Work

Once again, it carried me with the Eurythmy to the hostels in Pune, this time there were courses mainly for the kids, because the introductions and presentations for the adults were already done last time.

... - And every time I'm thrilled again! This not even necessarily because of the children and the youth that touch me so - they are mostly open, curious and at ease, as anywhere else in India. It is rather the way the homes are managed and cared for and how the supervisors create and prepare on the very small space an open and cheerful atmosphere. The children will feel obviously at home here, -  mainly the girls' home has considerably more space to offer.

Actually - I should cut it once in a movie. But for now, you have to stay with the pictures. On my travel blog and on Facebook and Diaspora, I already have a couple of pictures and detailed descriptions - here on this blog I can neither create galleries nor other special things, so the viewer has to do with more scrolling.





It's very tight in the Boys hostel: On the floor over this one there is again as much space, around which are arranged circumferentially cabinet drawers for personal items and there are stacked also on top mats and blankets. Here we see the discipline of the boys who can thus sit in place for an hour and more – it seems to me that ADHD is for these poorest obviously unknown and makes me suspect again that ADHD is just a disease of civilization, which is nursed by the all day media consumption, gameboys, and “narrow timetable”- parents which live the modern life of today.  




Images from the work::


Beginning with the kids from Boys Hostell:

The group of big guys: they were our "Best ones", we have intensively trained on skills such as concentration and coordination skills, overall view and independence. Particularly to have and to follow own original thoughts was a real challenge!!

And yes - our team:

Amar Gaikwad made himself free to serve for the time as a translator - and that was really needed! Vivekbhadra, the head of the hostel, has made all the photos and videos and accompanied the events in a wonderful way!











Also from the girls hostel we have some pictures, but not as many as Vivekbhadra could come only an evening:





There was in addition to the treatments mainly the eurythmy group of the oldest girl - and that was a close bond tightly connected friends – No one did anything without the other. Although in social aspects something beautiful, but for eurythmy, which promotes independence and calls for it, too – it was in the beginning a  real drama! We must walk our own path, without the possibility  to orientate at the fellow friend ?  - First: impossible. How proud was the group when they realized: they can do it!

























And at the end the call: "Bye bye..."
