She who nurtures Art
Founded in 2021 by Arundhati Samudra, Kalaa Dhari was born to bring to the world the revolutionary power of Political Theatre and Embodied Therapeutic Practices. As time has passed, Kalaa Dhari has blossomed into a collective led by a group of extraordinary women – some of us queer, all of us survivors of Gender Based Violence.
Our mission is to nurture creative revolutions, cultivate transformative social change through feminist principles, feminine creativity, and processes that foster a reclamation of agency. At its core, Kalaa Dhari is a joyous tribute to rediscovering, reclaiming, and returning to our most authentic selves – our true home.
If you’ve journeyed this far with us, we believe you share a similar path. So, welcome! Welcome to your journey Home.

Praise and Testimonials
“Arundhati was confident in her approach & facilitation. Her way of guiding people through various exercises was subtle & powerful. Her responses to various opinions and ideas were always non-judgemental & rational. Whenever someone related a painful personal experience, she heard them out patiently and gave them ample time and space to process their inner feelings completely. This helped people release their pent-up feelings and allowed them to come to meet themselves. I hope we work with her more in the future.”
Balamurali (Journalist)
“”I just want to share my deep gratitude to Arundhati for an incredibly connecting, moving and beautiful journey that this (21 day Journey with you Womb) workshop was. This is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Arundhati held the container with so much grace and warmth. Thank you so much!! Lots of love and gratitude for this. This is wonderful work and I have recommended it to so many of my close friends.”
Karuna (Teacher & Therapist)
“I have been working (Trauma Healing & Therapy) with Arundhati for almost a year now, and I greatly appreciate how patient, playful, and encouraging her demeanour has been. Arundathi has been an excellent guide through trauma processing, where I know she is there to safely contain the sessions if they become difficult for me. She also provides such a consistent, warm, and empathetic space, a space where I do not have to worry about any judgement. I am grateful for the work we have accomplished together and I look forward to continuing my work with her!”
