About the Gathering

Circle is a monthly reflective retreat — a shared space where conditioning loosens, perception opens, and habitual patterns begin to soften.

This January edition works with Eat Right through guided exposure led by Hari Nair and two Leela Life specialists, creating an environment where rigid ideas around food ease and a quieter, more discerning relationship with eating can begin to form.

5×5 Framework · “Eat Right”

To Eat Right in Indic traditions means engaging with food as a living connection between self and nature. It is not simply about diet, but about how food is prepared, chosen, combined, and timed.

Knowledge Guide · Founder & Chairman, Leela Life

Hari Nair is the creator of the Leela Life Method, a structured approach rooted in Indic knowledge that helps modern lives hold both success and joy. His session introduces Eat Right as a daily relationship with food that shapes clarity, restraint, and personal agency — inviting clients to loosen fixed ideas around eating and begin seeing food as a conscious support rather than a habit to control.
