We all know that stories have a deep impact on us. Especially those stories that reflect what is going on within us. Stories act as a mirror helping us become more aware. They help us face life’s  issues and develop our resilience.

​​

Children especially respond very well to stories and learn many life lessons from them. The subtle lessons learned through the characters in the story awaken the child's imagination to deal with similar situations in their life. This helps the child build resilience and face life's challenges in a healthy manner. 

​​

Storytelling when used with empathy by someone who is trained in it can help a lot. While it is not a substitute for any treatment or therapy, it can go a long way in helping the healing process.

​

Children and adults are not only told stories but are encouraged to CREATE  their own stories. 

By doing this they are gently encouraged to know themselves better and develop self-reflection. This can also help parents and therapists and counsellors. 

​

The REST sessions are often a very enjoyable experience. 

​

Rs. 2500/- for the first session. This session is for 1 hour to 1.5 hours.
