Why Sahaj Collective exists
The systems we live and work in reward speed, control, unbridled growth, and compliance. They have brought us to the threshold of a metacrisis — ecological, social, and spiritual. For those who sense the need to live and lead differently — with intention, compassion, agency, and care — the path often feels lonely.
Sahaj Collective exists as a countercurrent. Sahaj means easeful. It reminds us that sustained change — both inner and outer — takes root not in force, but in the conditions of ease: spaces where we can pause, compost what is heavy, and allow new ways of being to emerge.
It is a space for purpose-driven people who are already experimenting with gentler, more life-giving ways of living and leading — and for those standing at the threshold, feeling the pull to slow down, to care differently, to choose agency over compliance, but not yet knowing how to begin. Sahaj is companionship and community, a place to pause, to grieve, to dream. It is a reminder that you are not alone — and that this gentler way of leading is not only valid, but vital for the world we are trying to create.
The Sahaj Way
Systems Change As A Gentle Unfolding
Sahaj means easeful. The Sahaj Way is change as a gentle unfolding — a reminder that growth, whether in people or systems, cannot be forced. It emerges when we create the right conditions: space to pause, to compost what is heavy, to reclaim our agency, to root in community, and to regenerate together.
At the heart of Sahaj is a cycle — a spiral that reflects the natural rhythms of change. Each movement of the spiral is not a step in a straight line but a returning, again and again, to deeper layers of wholeness.

Ways We Scatter
Sahaj Stories
A collective archive of stories that illuminate what living systems change looks and feels like. Through writing, conversation, and shared witnessing, we document how people are embodying the principles of the Sahaj Way in their communities, organizations, and lives. To collaborate on this project, contact us.
Read some stories here.
Sahaj Weaves
Open-ended experiments in weaving — bringing together unlikely people, questions, and practices across boundaries. These weaves are playful, emergent collaborations that test what becomes possible when diverse threads are held in easeful relationship.
Upcoming Events
Join a Sahaj Gathering around the question, "How might we(or must we event) scale agency?" on Monday, September 1 at 7:30 PM IST / 10 AM ET / 4 PM CET. Register here.
Join our second cohort of 'Writing from the Source: The Sahaj Way' — a 6-week online journey of writing and reflection for those who carry the work of reimagining and creating — social change leaders, activists, artists, writers, and scholars.
It is for you if you:
-
Believe that your inner state defines your work in the world
-
Are feeling disconnected from your own source of purpose
- Are exhausted by the weight of systems and expectations.
-
A longing for community to pause and ask deeper questions about your purpose and impact, and be held and supported
In this circle, you don’t need polished words or perfect clarity. You just need to bring yourself — tired, searching, hopeful — and a willingness to listen.
Over 6 weeks, through writing and somatic practices, we will:
🌿 Pause and witness what is alive in us.
🌿 Grieve and compost what must end.
🌿 Reclaim agency and dignity.
🌿 Root in belonging and interbeing.
🌿 Imagine and regenerate futures.
🌿 Return to cycles of gentle unfolding.
🗓️ Begins mid-October · 6 weeks · 90 min each
🌏 For purpose-driven individuals who long to reconnect self and systems with gentleness and wholeness.
