Facilitators

Qusai Kathawala offers therapeutic sessions focused on releasing trauma through mindful movement, including Qigong, Feldenkrais, and yoga, as well as non-invasive touch through Craniosacral Therapy. With a Master’s in Design from ArtCenter College of Design and experience at Intel (US) researching technology’s role in the future of health, Qusai has spent 25 years studying, experimenting with, and teaching Somatics. His work brings together body-based practice, indigenous rituals, shamanic traditions, neurobiology, and modern imaging technologies, with a deep interest in authentic connection between self, others, and the environment.

Vishesh Kalimero uses music to illuminate the inner landscape. After extensive travels across Asia and Europe, he gathered rare instruments and experiences, performing at music festivals, cultural centres, and meditation retreats. His work explores how regional ecosystems shape sound, and he will guide participants through intuitive singing and dream journey practices, creating space to uncover hidden treasures and perhaps a truer voice.

Aditya Roy is a martial artist, storyteller, and musician based in Moira, Goa. With 25 years of training under Indian and international masters, he studied in the Philippines under GrandTuhon Leo T. Gaje of Pekiti Tirsia Kali and became only the second Indian accepted as his direct student and disciple.
