Dudu is my name and I will be your guide. I first stepped into the world of classical Indian dance at the age of six. This early spark ignited a lifelong journey, where I live and travel across India, study Indian dance, culture and spirituality, research both ancient and modern somatic bodywork, and discover how movement can ground, heal and transform.
This journey is an invitation for anyone drawn to culture, dance, and embodied movement traditions. Whether you are a dancer, a creative seeker, or someone yearning for a deeper connection to your authentic Self, this experience offers a unique, safe and guided opportunity.


Step into the rhythm, awaken your body’s wisdom, and let this journey unfold.

Veer

– traveler, cultural curator, storyteller, and seeker of truth –

After graduating in Technology in Delhi, I stepped away from the corporate world to follow a deeper calling: to explore the world and create journeys that awaken the soul.

Living across three countries and traveling through more than 20 has taught me that true adventure lies not just in places, but in the connections we make along the way — with people, traditions, and ourselves.

Through The Sangha Project, I co-create transformative experiences that blend eco-conscious travel, ancient wisdom, and meaningful cultural exchange. These journeys are invitations — to slow down, to listen deeply, and to rediscover the sacred in the everyday.

Let’s walk this path together — with curiosity, with intention, and with open hearts.

Where are we going?

Itinerary

Chennai & Mahabalipuram

-Temple Rhythms & Sacred Feminine | August 16 – 19

We begin our journey in Tamil Nadu, where classical dance is not just performance, but prayer in motion. Based between bustling Chennai and the serene seaside town of Mahabalipuram, we step into the rich lineage of Bharatanatyam guided by a respected female teacher. Daily workshops open our bodies to the divine geometry of this ancient form, while evenings offer time to explore temples carved from stone, echoing the stories we learn to express. We open our circle together, invoking intention, voice, and presence — the core of sacred dance.

Varkala

-Ayurvedic Healing & Martial Grace | August 20 – 23

A long exhale awaits in Varkala, where red cliffs meet the Arabian Sea. Here, our mornings begin with the deep healing of Ayurvedic treatments, restoring balance from within. In the afternoons, we engage with the powerful art of Kalaripayattu, Kerala’s dynamic martial tradition — awakening groundedness, flow, and inner fire. Between sessions, the ocean is your companion, offering moments of solitude or shared reflection. This chapter is one of restoration and personal empowerment — a bridge between the inner and outer journey.

Alleppey

-Waters of Stillness | August 24

We journey into the backwaters of Alleppey, where life flows slow and gentle. Aboard a traditional houseboat, we drift through a labyrinth of canals lined with palms and village homes. Time expands here. There is nothing to do but be — to journal, rest, watch the sunset reflect on water, and absorb the quiet wisdom of the landscape. Let this day soften you, returning you to stillness and deep breath.

Kochi

-Festival Spirit & Artful Encounters | August 25

The historic port city of Kochi welcomes us into its layered history and vibrant creativity. We explore its colonial streets, vibrant art galleries, and spiritual spaces, tuning into the pulse of the Onam Festival. In the evening, we gather for a traditional Kathakali performance, witnessing the grandeur of costume, the intensity of expression, and the incredible discipline behind every glance and gesture. This is a day of celebration and awe — a reminder of the theatre within the sacred.

Cheruthuruthy

-Kathakali — Discipline, Drama & Devotion | August 26 – 28

In the quiet village of Cheruthuruthy, we immerse ourselves in the world of Kathakali, Kerala’s most powerful dance-theatre tradition. Under expert guidance, we learn foundational movements and facial expressions in a dedicated dance workshop. A morning visit to the famed Kerala Kalamandalam offers a rare glimpse into the lifelong training of professional dancers. Here, we witness the transformation of body into myth, of emotion into vibration. This phase invites us to feel into the masculine sacred — structured, potent, and expressive.

Thrissur & Kochi

-Fierce Joy & Colorful Goodbye | August 29 – 30

Our final days take us to Thrissur, Kerala’s cultural capital, to experience the vibrant spectacle of Pulikali — the tiger dance of Onam. Painted performers, drums, and wild celebration fill the streets in a joyful explosion of art, mischief, and community spirit. That night, we return to Kochi for our final circle — a moment to ground, reflect, and integrate all we’ve received. Dance has been our guide through sacred temples, ancient lineages, wild nature, and the healing heart.
We close this journey not with an end, but with a rhythm that continues within.
