A large group of participants seated on the floor of a hotel-style meeting room, nearly all wearing white cloth blindfolds tied at the back of the head. Many wear white or cream clothing, while a few wear coloured garments such as a red top, green patterned dress and dark shirts. Some sit cross-legged, others kneel or lean forward, with water bottles, notebooks and a pen scattered among them. A whiteboard and a tripod-mounted camera stand at the back of the room. The people appear to be in a guided meditation or blindfolded exercise.
