After a discussion on the objectives of the workshop, the students were made to sit in silence and spend some quality time with themselves. The importance of having a good relationship with self was emphasized. The differences between thoughts and feelings were explained. The students were asked to express their thoughts about themselves and their feelings through drawing. Thus through colours and art the participants explored their inner self.
