Journey from Karma to Dharma: The Official Book Launch

Nikita Thakrar is launching her debut book, Journey from Karma to Dharma, at Hurley House Hotel on Saturday 20 March. It's a Reading launch for a writer who's also a TEDx speaker and an identity-and-purpose mentor, and the book comes from a very specific place: Thakrar spent twenty years building a dance school, then closed it and found she didn't quite know who she was without the roles that came with the business.

That's where the title comes in. She describes 'Karma' as the inherited pattern of habits, roles and expectations we pick up over time, and 'Dharma' as a life that fits who we are now. The book works through three movements — Remembering, Reclaiming and Embodying — and it's part of a wider framework she offers through five different doorways: a private Soul Consultation, the self-paced Karma to Dharma Academy, the Karma to Dharma Retreat (a four-day residential immersion in Somerset), the VIP Dharma Day, and the Dharma Diploma, a nine-month live journey of identity transformation.

Thakrar draws on more than two decades of movement, creativity, entrepreneurship and spiritual study, including ten years living in India. The launch is the first time the book is out in the world, and it's being held here in Reading rather than further afield.

The launch is on Saturday 20 March at 10:00, with tickets priced at £211.97.
