Priyanka [b.India] currently living and working between Indonesia, India, and the USA. She is a filmmaker, somatic practitioner, and rewilder who maps the invisible currents connecting the human body, the mind, and the living earth. Through her films, her signature Somatic Prana workshops, and her hands-on work in permaculture design, she explores a singular philosophy: The Self-Portrait in Others. Whether capturing the raw sensual and somatic experiences of our daily existence on camera, guiding people to ignite their internal Tapas (creative fire) through her transformational workshops, or tending to the micro-ecosystem of a regenerative garden, Priyanka acts as a conduit for interpersonal understanding and collective togetherness. Her works at the intersection of intense action and total detachment, showing that true creative power emerges only when we empty the lens to let the life force flow.

Somatic Prana Workshops and Curatorial
Somatic Prana, a transformational creative process that shifts the focus to the Experiencer, creativity is not an expression, its the only way to experience our integrated (pranic) self.
Somatic Prana is not a technical creativity class; it is a laboratory designed to help us realize that the body is our primary resource for igniting creative force. By developing our own unique somatic (bio-energetic) language, this workshop empowers us to decode unfiltered sensory and cellular stimulus and transmute raw energetic power into our own soverign, subjective experience.
Developed across ten years of visual and somatic research, this intensive recognizes by tuning our unique biological codes and igniting our internal fire (Tapas), we transform daily decisions and creative output from a stressful reaction to our surroundings into a powerful, deliberate, subjective overflow of our presence.

these drawings/paintings are created through complete submission to our intuition and the flow of consciousness. Somatic-prana is a therapeutic process of connecting with our deeper inner wisdom, emotions, thoughts, feelings and visions.
Masanobu Fukuoka believed in the principle of "Doing Nothing". My permaculture practice is also rooted in that deep understanding that we are deeply connected to everything around us, so don't try to control it for personal benefit, simply listen and interact with nature around and within us and we will know how to grow garden in the most wildest and natural ways.
In 2022, we built one of the first permaculture homesteads in rural eastern India. This three-year-old homestead now has over thirty-five fruit trees, grows forty+ different kinds of seasonal vegetables, and a natural water garden to provide fishes an organic habitat.
During the pandemic, we worked on this project at Rebel Farm in Odessa, Michigan to sustain their regenerative farm and soil building for vegetable produce.
