Ecology and Environment

“I want to turn the clocks back to when people lived in small villages and took care of each other . . . Participation. That’s what’s going to save the human race. ”

Creating a Model of Living in the Center of the City.

BMCT's central goal in the creation of Shakti Academy for Performing Arts and Healing, is to demonstrate a sustainable, environmentally conscious model of living within a developing city

Breaking Sacred Ground.

The Land for the Shakti Academy is nestled in the center of Udaipur. One of the last plots of land not owned by a lake resort, hotel, or palace, it will ultimately serve as a meeting ground for people in all walks of life. A small eco-village and arts-center -- directly in the center.

Shakti Sunday Festivals

Every Sunday, during monsoon season, dance and art festivals are held by Shakti Caravan to raise awareness about the city's habitat and help create a better infrastructure for waste disposal. People learn about the three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle) and are encouraged through song and dance, as a community, to help clean up the messy streets and take action in their homes.

Lake Clean-Up Programs

The easiest way to access the Shakti Land is by water.
Festivals and workshops are currently underway to help Shakti Caravan set sail on the lakes of Udaipur.
