Parivarthan

Parivarthan just happened to me.....(no pun intended there :). Parivarthan is a training and counselling center in Bangalore, and I realize with each passing day, one of the best by many parameters, not just in the city, but across the country.

This journey started sometime in October last year when I chanced upon their website..... and some research and some gut feel.....and I knew this was going to be a deep and long association.

Got the ball rolling then, one thing led to another....I did a short term course with them on Interpersonal Communication and Listening skills (brilliant course in terms of content, and delivery), and then onto a one year program, a course in Basic Skills in Counselling.

That's just about begun....it's been two weeks, and the one thing that stood out for me was how incisive and grounded their course is. Also how, the more you learn about something, the more there seems to be to learn. You start seeing the finer and subtler facets and the appreciation just gets that much deeper. Especially in spaces it yet falls through :)

If the devil is in the detail, I'm quickly realizing that...... so is God.

Once you know something in certain depth, the Aha's seem to flow with a certain focused rapidity.....the flow sort of takes you.

Anyways, to come back to the course itself. It's a one year program in Basic Skills in Counselling. It sharpens and deepens your awareness of how the human psyche works.  It mandates a long term counselling of oneself, as the principle is that you need to first be willing to look within yourself, before you think you can do it for another.

More as I go along.
