Whether we are spiritual or secular, our connection with those who shaped us, is worth exploring intentionally. Drawing from Hindu tradition and contemporary psychology, we explore how gratitude and humility can be practiced in a way that doesn't require surrendering critical thinking, and how such a practice can support our personal development, regardless of belief.

Key Topics:

• The meaning of Guru beyond stereotypical Western notions
• Honoring our teachers: a practice compatible for atheists
• Reverence vs marginalisation - an intersectional lens
• Practical applications: cultivating gratitude and connectedness
• How the practice supports emotional maturity
