Join me on my adventures
Dhara Purohit John is an author, podcaster, and content curator for psychologists and therapists, aiming to translate wisdom into words. Before her writing career, she was a practising environmental architect for ten years.
Dhara’s professional career began at the age of 16 by doing promotions for consumable products in Mumbai. This experience gave her a glimpse into everyone’s daily city grind and struggles, be it for the commoner or the elite.
In 2007, she graduated as an architect. Dhara pursued environmental designing as a qualified Indian Green Building Council-Accredited Professional working for a decade to make a difference through structures and earth-friendly models.
Dissatisfied with the system, she decided to be an e-entrepreneur. This journey made her realise her strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities while giving a platform to be a global trainer working alongside corporate trainers, ex-CEOs, shipping managers, policy designers, educationists who were also incidentally environmentalists at heart.
To contribute more meaningfully and develop a better response to environmental destruction, inequality, and social consequences of rapid technological change, she decided to be a part of a meditation retreat. The retreat needed discipline, silence and no connection with the outside world for consecutive ten days. This retreat was the turning point in her life.
Across six years, she has spent 850 hours in silence and reflection under established teachers’ guidance. 1000+ hours of meditative practice have empowered her to live more authentically, tap into the cosmic wisdom and share it with the world. Her writings reflect the profound insights encountered through her experiences by working across three industries. Her blog inspires the reader to take the inner journey of transformation.
She loves studying esoteric sciences and apart from being a content curator, she is a professionally trained tarot reader and a Family Constellation therapy facilitator. She does not believe in predicting the future but creating it by making conscious choices. Hence, she uses the modality as a tool to see what must be healed to achieve the objective that one is looking for and encourages others to take responsibility for their life. Through her (gifted) intuitive abilities she has facilitated over 2500 cases across 4 years of study. She designs content for esoteric workshops helping facilitators impart this knowledge in the most simplified manner possible and develop processes to help people reflect and re-wire for mindful living.
A storyteller and explorer by heart, her brains work the best when she puts pen to paper. She loves to paint and sketch. A trained Kathak dancer, she now enjoys dancing to the rhythm of life. She does not like very serious or violent movies and sarcastic conversations. She gets bored easily while going for conventional shopping for clothes and accessories but can spend hours admiring cute stationery. An avid coffee drinker she loves good vegetarian food and is always up for an engrossing conversation. She isn’t afraid of calories and you can spot her with her cup of hot chocolate with some extra cream, and a book at coffee shops of Mumbai.
Jumana Karwa is a software engineer at Amazon.
A native of Mumbai, she is currently living in London.
“Growing up, I have always questioned stereotypical thinking, and been taught to stand up for fight for what’s right, whether it is for yourself or others. I have been an avid reader, speaker at events as well as an advocate for both STEM education for young students and women’s right to education. I truly believe that a woman is really respected and has a say in her marriage only if she is financially independent. By continuing to work on herself and her professional interests after her marriage, she can create a space of admiration and contribution with her presence and example. When a woman is respected, it is an environment devoid of domestic and financial, and open for harmony and upliftment of all. A woman who is self reliant finds it easy to attract a partner as a friend and a respectful loving companion.
Having witnessed and lived through a challenging marital journey, I have clearly defined a path of what not to do, and understood first hand the exact steps that can make your dream a nightmare.
I have taken to writing, to give a good polished perspective to my own experiences and making them relevant and relatable for others to gain from. I will meet you soon, in the pages of my book.”
Jumana.
