Green Majlis: A Roving Space for Sustainability, Creativity & Community
Dubai, UAE – In a world that’s constantly rushing forward, Green Majlis is redefining the way people connect—through sustainability, creativity, wellness, and community. Inspired by the traditional concept of a Majlis, a space for gathering and meaningful conversations, Green Majlis is a mobile, adaptable platform that brings sustainability to different locations, ensuring that conscious living is accessible to all.
Founded by Barkha Bahirwani, a Green Strategist, and Yvonne Lobo, a Community Builder, Green Majlis is not just an event—it’s a movement. Designed as a roving concept, it takes sustainability, mindful activities, and creative workshops to universities, corporate spaces, art hubs, and community centers, allowing more people to engage in hands-on learning and impactful conversations.
A Gathering Like No Other
Imagine stepping into a vibrant space filled with laughter, creativity, and mindful engagement—people shaping clay, repurposing old fabrics, engaging in thoughtful discussions, or simply reconnecting over nostalgic board games. Green Majlis blends art, sustainability, and human connection in an environment that encourages people to slow down, create, and be present.
“We wanted to create something that feels like home,” says Barkha Bahirwani. “A place where you can come as you are, make new friends, and rediscover the joy of making things with your hands.”
Unlike traditional sustainability events, Green Majlis is not confined to a single location. It travels, bringing its engaging mix of eco-markets, workshops, talks, and mindful activities to wherever there’s a community ready to embrace it.
