Event Description

Overwhelmed? Disoriented? Exhausted?

In this reflective session, Dr Shyam Bhat draws on his expertise in psychiatry and integrative medicine to unpack the rising sense of disorientation shaped by hyperconnection, constant noise, and emotional overload. He explores how these forces fracture our inner clarity and shares practical ways to rebuild a steadier sense of purpose. Through insights drawn from clinical practice and contemplative traditions alike, Dr Bhat charts a path toward reconnecting with our values and rediscovering direction in an increasingly fast-paced world.

A gentle invitation to pause, understand what’s happening within, and realign with what truly matters.

The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A.
