With the holiday season around the corner, the spirit of Christmas takes on a more meaningful hue, blending tradition with sustainability. Across creative spaces, individuals and businesses are re-imagining festive practices to reflect a growing consciousness for the environment. Here’s how Mumbaikars are transforming holiday traditions into lessons of care, creativity, and conscious living.
An artful advent
Crestar Creativity Centre, founded by Shaili Shah, stands as a testament to the healing and expressive power of art. “Crestar is a space where creativity flourishes, for both children and adults. My team and I have built this studio to embrace art education through a holistic approach,” says the Bandra resident who is also a firm believer in the therapeutic potential of art.
