Since we started carving our space for expressions of all kinds and forms in 2016, we have been seeing beautiful communities build and expand at Lahe around souls who believe in living life relaxed and happily. Today after about four years of expressions, we have communities that jam together, recite sitting in a circle, play board games, and communities for salsa, ballet and bhangra.
Lahe Lahe is what it is because of these communities and its souls who form these communities. Their love for Lahe Lahe drives us to experiment more with our spaces and strengthen our bond.
And this New Year, we decided to express our love and gratitude towards Lahe Lahers- regular facilitators, patrons and communities who play crucial part for the growth of Lahe Lahe. We always love expanding our community and extend our gratitude to everyone who has been regular at Lahe Lahe. Hence, we realized the need to dedicate an evening to our loved ones to let them know how special they are to us. We decided to privilege them with a Gratitude Membership. They all were invited on 17 January 2020 to our Gratitude Night where we could express and exchange our love and gratitude. That beautiful night started at 7 PM and extended till 11 PM as everyone had their piece of story to share.
The event was hosted by our founders Mansee and Nikhil who started off the evening with our story about Lahe Lahe and how slowly each community formed. Each and every person / community was called up to the dais and presented with a customized Gratitude Card which makes them a part of the Inner Circle along with some privileges. Every community member and every facilitator shared their beautiful journey they had with Lahe Lahe. And each story expressed love and bond they share with Lahe and each other. To watch various communities come together and exchange their experience was a warm feeling.
Gratitude is one of the founding pillars of Lahe Lahe, and the love and energy we saw and felt that night, gives us assurance that life is best when shared and expanded.
