Concept behind PTWC (Palavayal Trekking and Wellness Centre)
What do humans seek in life? In the initial years of life, man is driven the blind urge to material wellbeing . But if we ask deeper questions about the purpose of our life, we may find that they key to being contented in life is attaining happiness. Now, the next question is what gives you that pristine happiness ? Happiness to the bo
dy is wellness and to the mind is spirituality. We have tried to imbibe the principles of Deep Ecology & Sustainable Living with the help of Pancha Bhoota in its pure form to attain wellness and sublime happiness through Palavayal Trekking and Wellness Centre
Deep Ecology
is a holistic approach to face the world problems that brings together thinking, feeling, spirituality and action. It involves moving beyond the culture of individualism and seeing ourselves as part of the earth. This leads to a deeper connection with life, where Ecology is not just seen as something 'out there', but something we are part of and have a role to play in. In this approach, the relationship is more of an involved participant, who feels connected with and part of the world around them. Sustainable living
Sustainable living is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resources and personal resources. People already use a huge amount of the Earth's non-renewable resources to live their everyday lives. We have almost exhausted the earth’s energy resources. We have been overly using plastic and concrete materials, cutting trees and damaging rivers. Sustainable living is the only answer to this problem. It's simply a matter of time until there is no option. We have to start living it before we are being forced to. We at PTWC are not doing any additional building construction activities detrimental to the environment. We have renovated the existing structures and resorted to options like tree houses, temporary camping etc, the reason being not only living a sustainable life but living closer to the nature in our patriarchal home . We have taken properties left behind in forest and renovated. PTWC platform trekkingtowellness.com, which is under construction, to link similar people and places who can align with the us.
