Finding focus in the present: Highlights from the ‘Be Here Now’ workshop

Focused on presence, self-reflection, and connection, the ‘Be Here Now’ workshop, led by facilitator and coach Alekh Sangal, encouraged students from MGLuxM Batch 17 and HBL Batch 5 to pause, engage, and reflect in meaningful ways.

Through interactive activities, thought provoking discussions, and life reflections, the session created an open space for awareness and laughter. By the end, students found themselves not only closer to their peers but also more in tune with their own thoughts and emotions.
