First LOL Event, First KYS Stall & Lots Of Joy
Unlike the usual wake-up late Sundays, our last one was slightly different. Team KYS was up and about super early, to rush to The Bookworm on Church Street in Bangalore to organize the LOL event we have been harping about.
First-Ever KnowYourStar Stall
When we reached the venue, Krishna Sir – the owner of The Bookworm and Savitha from Hasovan were both there. While the venue was being cleaned and readied for the event, Team KYS set up its first impromptu stall. The stall had some copies of Mitra Pustak, some custom-made KYS pens, some hand-made artwork by our Mentor India rural students and some organic ready plants by Innocenter.
We gave away a ready plant, an artwork and a pen to every participant in goodwill!
The registrations were done as our participants trickled in, welcomed by the soothing music being played in the background. Within no time, Savitha and the participants started swaying to the music. This was the warm-up for the main event. Team KYS was so fascinated, we went from being organizers to participants!
Awakening The Joy Within
From exploring our ideas of pleasure, happiness, playfulness, laughter, and joy, to composing our very own music and lyrics, the session was a whole lot of fun. With toys, sketch pens, yoga mats and smiles as our accessories, Savitha led us on from one activity to another seamlessly. One moment we were singing and laughing, while the next moment we were meditating, smiling and dancing with closed eyes.
The experience was definitely one of a kind, and more than anything, it helped us get in touch with our lighter side. Everyone had their own takeaways and feedback. You must experience it to understand it. Also, it was a great opportunity to meet wonderful people. Everyone had a unique specialty or an interesting experience to share. We met as strangers and left as friends, after relishing an organic meal.
Who Should Be Interested In Attending LOL?
From kids to old people, this is a workshop that teaches you how to cope with everyday stress. It puts us in touch with our intrinsic qualities, so that we don’t always seek external factors to be happy.
We are looking forward to conducting another LOL – The Joy Workshop next month. We will keep you all updated. Meanwhile, if you wish for us to come conduct it at your apartment, society, company or school, please get in touch with us at contact@knowyourstar.com.
