About the event

What we will work on together?

Under Sameer’s guidance, we will collectively design and build a small water body at the campsite. Along the way, insights into landscape design, terrain, water flow, and native vegetation will naturally emerge through the work. From first sketch to shaped earth and serenity, the images

below trace a quiet journey of making.



Our Philosophy

Working with our hands is not only a practical skill, but a way of returning to ourselves. Manual work connects the individual to truth because the hands do not allow pretence; they insist on presence, patience, and honesty.


Fast, urban life, separates us from this grounding experience. We think, plan, & consume far more than we create. Hands-on work slows the mind, strengthens attention, and reminds us that meaningful learning comes from doing.


To offer a glimpse into this experience, we are hosting a ‘Working with Hands’ weekend experience. Across 2 days, you will work on useful skills such as basic masonry, electrical fittings, small repairs, painting, etc. at the farm. Every person takes home different things from the workshop. The only way to

know what you will gain, is by experiencing it!
