I have known Vasvi since we began our Expressive Arts journey together in 2014, and over the years our paths have continued to cross through workshops and independent practice. Two years ago, she joined our project Threads of Humanity at The Yuva Ekta Foundation as an Expressive Arts Facilitator, working with juvenile offenders at the Place of Safety & Special Home for Boys in Delhi.

Vasvi is an exceptionally empathetic and compassionate facilitator, with a remarkable ability to tune into the shifting dynamics of a group. Her workshops are thoughtfully designed, creatively facilitated, and responsive to participants' needs. Her warmth, presence, and people skills kept the boys deeply engaged and always asking for more. I look forward to our continued association at The Yuva Ekta Foundation.

Vasvi’s Art-based sessions were a profound and emotional journey of self-discovery. Through the gentle power of art and reflection, participants explored their inner worlds uncovering personal barriers, reconnecting with their authentic selves, and finding healing in expression. Many shared heartfelt stories of survival and moments of realization as they discovered what had been holding them back. The sessions beautifully captured the essence of the Self-Discovery track at Learnfinity, leaving participants with a deeper understanding of themselves and a renewed sense of clarity and strength.

Thank you, Vasvi, for creating such a transformative space, one that touched hearts, inspired reflection, and reminded everyone of the power of creative self-expression.

Our team found the session to be a refreshing opportunity to relax, express themselves freely, and reconnect with their inner world. Through the creative process, they gained greater clarity about their emotions, recognised their inner strengths and resources, reflected on how they contribute to the team, and revisited parts of themselves they had not connected with in a long time. Above all, they thoroughly enjoyed engaging with art materials again.

Vasvi took the time to deeply understand our needs, asked thoughtful questions, and carefully tailored the experience to our team. She facilitated a group of over 80 participants with remarkable ease, creating a safe, engaging, and well-held space throughout the session.

Vasvi's 'Expressive Arts Based Wellbeing' was an excellent session at our ILSS offsite that helped us dig deeper into some of our core values and belief systems as individuals and as a team. Through arts-based conversations and dialogues, Vasvi helped us connect and engage with one another in a profound way. This will have long-term benefits in how we relate to one another and how we work as a team. Vasvi is an extremely skilled and knowledgeable facilitator that enabled her to understand our needs, and design and deliver a customized solution for us.

Ms. Vasvi's deep understanding of emotional well-being and creative expression was beautifully reflected throughout the session. 

The workshop’s structure offered students a safe and expressive space to explore their feelings.

The emphasis on empathy and shared experiences through art allowed participants to form meaningful connections, not just with each other, but also with their own emotions. Ms. Vasvi’s warmth and the way she facilitated reflective moments made the session particularly enriching, ensuring everyone left with a sense of emotional growth.

This workshop was a true testament to the healing power of art, and we couldn’t have asked for a better mentor. We hope to learn more from you.

The major thing is being yourself is fun and there are so many people like us around and it's actually not so complicated to find them. The second lesson I learnt was that expressing emotions does not always require words as we expressed our feelings through gestures and clay art. And introspection really helps to ease in! Initially the feeling of being judged didn't completely leave us but I think by the end all of us felt accepted which brought the feeling of calmness !! Simply just being ourselves is the key!

Interesting and relaxing. It felt like a short visit to a temple nearby home.

Sharing my art with other people made me listen to their part of the story as well. Meeting new people and communicating with them through their energies and thoughts was an all-new experience for me and made me realise the power of energies as well. I felt liberated after expressing myself through art — liberated from other people's opinions and expectations.
