Workshop Reflections: Session 1 Kickoff with Asha Ponnachan

The first session of our workshop series, hosted by Asha Ponnachan and co-hosted by Divyank Jain, set an inspiring and energizing tone for what promises to be a transformative journey over the coming weeks.

From the very beginning, the space felt warm, collaborative, and open—an environment where ideas could flow freely and participants felt encouraged to show up as themselves. Asa created a thoughtful balance of structure and flexibility, allowing both guided learning and organic discussion to take place.

A Powerful Start

Session 1 focused on laying the foundation—introductions, intentions, and a shared understanding of what each participant hopes to gain. What stood out most was the diversity of perspectives in the room. People joined from three different countries – India, Canada and, Ghana, of different age from from 22 years old to 73 years old. Each voice added something unique, enriching the collective experience.

We were joined by an incredible group of participants:

Shazia Parveen from India

Britton Edwin Theurer from Canada

Shalini Singh from India

Sonali Bawa from India

Tanusha from India

Kataru Yahya from Ghana

Samika Pandey from India

Each participant brought curiosity, openness, and a willingness to engage deeply—setting a strong precedent for the sessions ahead.

What’s Next?

This was just the beginning. With five more sessions lined up, the workshop will dive deeper into practical insights, reflective exercises, and collaborative learning.

Good news: If you missed the first session, there’s still time to join!
