What is PURNA Saturday?

PURNA Saturday is a free, online, 45-minute mindfulness-based community session held on the last Saturday of every month.

It is an opportunity to pause, reflect on the month gone by, reconnect with yourself, and welcome the month ahead with renewed awareness and intention.

Anika guiding an intentional mindfulness presence and breath practice

What can you expect?

Each session brings together:

  • One science-informed insight from Positive Psychology or neuroscience
  • A gentle journaling reflection
  • A guided mindfulness practice for deep relaxation and reset

There are no lectures, no talking, and no sharing required.

Simply be where you are, in your own space, and allow yourself this time to pause.

What will you take away?

Gain a fresh perspective on your wellbeing, understand a little more about your mind and body's response to stress, and experience a moment of stillness away from everyday demands.

Leave with greater self-awareness, a sense of calm, and an intention for the month ahead.

Meet your facilitator — Anika Kumar Vashishth

Anika is a Master of Applied Positive Psychology graduate from the University of Melbourne, a certified coach, and a Positive Psychology Practitioner with over 10 years of experience working one-on-one with parents and individuals navigating stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and personal growth.

Through I Am Enough | Flourish®, she integrates Positive Psychology, mindfulness, neuroscience-informed practices, and CBT-informed approaches to make the science of wellbeing accessible and practical.

Her work is guided by the philosophy of Purna:

Not broken. You do not need fixing. You just need to tap into your internal resources.

I am enough | Flourish®

पूर्ण (PŪRṆA)

Wholeness |Fullness |Completeness

It is rooted in the belief that you are not broken, you do not need fixing, and you already carry within you many of the resources you need to navigate life.

Framework

Purna — You are already whole.

At the heart of my work is Purna, a Sanskrit concept that speaks to wholeness and completeness.

Across my work, I bring together Applied Positive Psychology, Positive Education, strengths-based approaches, CBT-informed coaching, neuroscience, mindfulness and self-compassion.

My role is not to tell people who they should become. It is to create spaces where they can pause, understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their strengths, develop resilience and discover their own ways forward.

PURNA is my way of bringing the science, the tools and the human experience together. It is to help you develop the clarity, confidence and self-trust to make choices that feel more aligned with who you are and what matters to you.

The PURNA Approach

My work is guided by five interconnected principles:

  1. P — Presence

    Creating space to slow down, notice and become more aware of what is happening within and around us.

  2. U — Understanding

    Understanding our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, strengths, relationships and the mental models through which we experience life.

  3. R — Resilience

    Developing the capacity to navigate challenges, adapt to change and move forward without needing life to be free from difficulty.

  4. N — Nurturing

    Cultivating self-compassion, connection, rest, strengths and practices that nourish our wellbeing.

  5. A — Agency

    Moving from awareness to choice by recognising your values, resources and the actions available to you.

  1. Presence

  2. Understanding

  3. Resilience

  4. Nurture

  5. Agency

Whether I am working one-to-one, with parents, students, educators, women, older adults or whole communities, the intention remains the same:

To help people move from simply coping with life to developing the awareness, resources and connection that allow them to flourish.

Purna is not a formula.

It is a way of approaching people with curiosity, compassion and respect for their own resourcefulness.
