Intuition is the ‘gut feeling’, the knowing or understanding something without the need for conscious reasoning or proof.

During the two days of the program, participants learn simple and powerful techniques which enable them to access, cultivate, utilise and maintain their inherent intuitive abilities. This ability is demonstrated through various blindfold activities, such as reading, coloring, walking, playing games and so on. Regular practice enables much more powerful abilities in them and impacts all aspects of their life. Communication improves to a great extent and children learn to express themselves better. There is an improvement in observation and perception as well. Behaviour changes can be dealt with
