Theme: Conscious Detoxification

Over the years, we have been wired a certain way to accept the simultaneous pollution of our minds through several external as well as internal agents that have begun influencing us on a daily basis. The theme 'Conscious Detoxification' aims at encouraging active rejection of negativity, limitations, and restrictions we constantly impose on ourselves in lieu of the societal norms. With the increasing pressure of defining one's identity among the rigid belief system of what is considered as 'normal', we are stuck in the toxic cycle of the either extreme of self-loathing or self-obsession, which are crooked levels of self-reflection. In order to effectively detoxify our minds so as to ensure undisturbed functioning, we must first become aware of what we need to dispose of. We need to open our minds to the idea of unlearning orthodox concepts and moving forward with time in all aspects. TEDxDSC presents to you a line-up of amazing speakers that will help you take the first step in this holistic process of growth. With the help of both external and internal factors that have shaped us, this is an attempt to understand 'Conscious Detoxification' in a much more elaborate way and rise to the need of the hour to become better.
