What a wonderful morning of creativity, tradition, and devotion at CMA’s 𝗘𝗰𝗼-𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗚𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝗜𝗱𝗼𝗹-𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽!

Under the guidance of Deepali Shishodia, our enthusiastic participants got their hands into the clay and brought their own beautiful Bappas to life. Each idol was unique, but every one of them carried something special: the joy of creating Bappa with our own hands.

A heartfelt thank you to Deepali tai for volunteering her time and generously leading the workshop. Her guidance and encouragement made the experience truly memorable for everyone.

We are also incredibly grateful to Prajkta Gaikwad of kalagrath Art Studio, who stepped in to support Deepali tai despite her own leg injury. Your willingness to help and share your expertise is a wonderful example of the community spirit that makes CMA special. 🙏

From children discovering the joy of working with clay to families creating something they can cherish at home, it was a beautiful way to begin the countdown to Ganeshotsav.

What a wonderful gathering of our Samadhaan community!

A heartfelt thank you to 𝗥𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗵𝗲 for graciously opening their home to our Samadhaan participants, hosting the gathering and sponsoring the food in memory of Mr. Ravindra Kadam, Mrs. Aarti Sankhe’s father and an ever-young, enthusiastic participant in our Samadhaan picnics.

It was a beautiful way to remember him — with friends, laughter, creativity and community.

🎨Creativity was in full bloom as everyone enthusiastically participated in a painting workshop led by Swati Kene. With Ganeshotsav just around the corner, participants created beautiful portraits of Ganapati, taking home a special piece of art and a wonderful memory of the day.

🧘 Wellness was also on the agenda, with a rejuvenating yoga workshop led by Shilpa Yadav that got everyone moving and refreshed.

🎲 And, of course, there was plenty of fun and laughter over a variety of indoor games!

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this Samadhaan gathering so special.

What a fantastic morning on two wheels!

Our 𝗣𝗮𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗶 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 brought together young cyclists for a fun ride around the Glenmore Reservoir; complete with beautiful views, good company, and plenty of smiles along the way.

And what better way to finish a ride than with warm pizza and brownies! Definitely a well-earned treat after all those kilometres!

A huge 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 who helped organize, guide, support, and make the ride a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

And of course, thank you to all the young riders who came out and made the morning such a success. 🚴🌳

Until the next adventure!
