Srilaxmi is from Vasco, Goa. Open-hearted, she is willing to immerse, learn and create. Flawed like anyone, confused like many, the rope in a tug of war like few, and herself like nobody else, Srilaxmi is figuring her way through. And in all the madness of the mind, heart and soul, she thrives most in the strong arms of nature and community living.

In the fellowship, she explored conservation and  coexistence, whilst also questioning contemporary notions of development and  trying to locate a peoples' aspirations  within this. She sees a gap between traditional understanding and scientific knowledge  which needs to be bridged through  respect, harmony and empowerment of the self and others.
