so one year ago, i called Ragini on a wintry morning. a long call which i mostly spent pacing around my room and eventually found myself sitting next to a dew drop streaked window.
feb of 2024 saw my first soulo. if there’s one thing i remember about it, i gave it my all. those 4 days opened up so many windows in my mind, soaking in all the learnings into my parched pores. pores that were waiting for some kind of artistic immersion and direction. can never forget the fulfilment that swept over me after my first soulo show.
subsequently, i completely melted in the weekly infinity classes. with each passing class, i was getting to know Ragini and her processes more. getting warmed up to her aura, her eyes and her sense of humour. never had i experienced something that resonated with me to that extent, satisfying the art in me. i kept following my gut feeling and insatiable curiosity by signing up for all her processes.
everything was making so much sense to me since a) she is such an eloquent teacher and b) i saw so many similarities between what Ragini spoke about and my internal thoughts that never found an expression. it dawned on me that most of my dreams are so in sync with the space Ragini has created, bolstering my conviction of deepening my association which also meant shedding the conditioning embedded within me.
during my first production with her (milliseconds), i realised that Ragini is my artistic godmother indeed and i am the artistic goddaughter and our lives had to intersect the way they did. what luck! it was hard to believe that the universe gifted me the thing i most wanted (but wasn’t aware of) at the best possible time in my life; an artistic upbringing, just when my college was getting over. observing Ragini more closely gave me a very good vantage point to experience her being and get inspired by it profoundly.
she also noticed something unique about me and slowly created more possibilities beyond studentship. initially, when mergeship was introduced, i was mostly engaged in lensing during soulos and calls to go down alleys of imagination. these one-on-one calls with Ragini became more and more comfortable, opening my mind beyond classroom experiences. with each merge call, a full fledged behind-the-scene world of Infinite Artiste got unfurled.
and just like that it has exactly been a year of deep association, processes and conversations about how i’m merging all that i am doing. Ragini and Infinite Artiste are a great source of art, depth, vision, belief, wisdom, rhythm, madness, support & upbringing in my life. the explorations and experiences with her are endless and i’m already imagining the colourful ways in which this association will manifest in the years to come. if there’s one thing i can say for certain, it would be that my life would not have taken such a unique turn if it wasn’t for a soft travelling dewdrop that chose to trickle down my life’s window.
