Building Community and Connection in Jayanagar

Our community work is rooted in the belief that everyone is walking their own path, but no one should have to walk it alone.

Why We Facilitate Circles

We saw too many parents feeling isolated in their choices, whether they were exploring alternative learning, managing screen time, or simply trying to support their child's emotional regulation. These circles are non-hierarchical spaces. We sit on the floor, we use simple props, and we foster a environment of deep listening.

The COILS Network

Svadhyaya is a proud part of the Consortium of Open and Independent Learning Spaces (COILS). This network brings together families, educators, and learners from across Bengaluru to share resources and bridge the gap between different schooling philosophies. By joining our circles, you gain access to this wider network of support.

What to Expect

• Listening Focus: We follow a strict protocol where we do not give advice unless it is explicitly requested. This prevents the 'expert vs. student' dynamic and empowers everyone in the group.
• Venue: These sessions happen at our Jayanagar center, a rustic, non-clinical space designed to feel like a living room rather than a classroom.
• Format: We hold space for everything—from the joys of unconventional education to the frustrations that come with it.

This is not a place for 'fixing' your parenting. It is a place for authentic connection where you can find others who value curiosity and dialogue as much as you do.
