Within The Shadeline

Took placeNovember 22, 202510:00 AM - 4:00 PM (GMT+7)
LocationSurabaya, Jawa Timur, Indonesia
FormatUniversity
In the era of the 5.0 industrial revolution, many people are unaware of their potential. Between light and darkness, there is a quiet space that is often overlooked—a place where our potential lies hidden, waiting to be discovered. Within the Shadeline is a journey into the depths of the self, an exploration into the shadows to uncover the unseen light. We will learn to hear the whispers of the heart that have been drowned out by doubt. We will dance with the silhouettes we once feared, realizing that behind ignorance lies a power waiting to shine. Through reflection, art, and conversations in silence, we will delve into the soul, touch the boundaries, and step closer to our true selves. For sometimes, to find the light, we must dare to traverse the shadows.
