In a world that is moving at a 2X speed, we invite you to watch the sunset in silence, pause to marvel at fireflies in a forest, take the time to smell the roses or stand still while the wave crashes on your feet. Just embracing the art of restfully pacing through life.
Inspired by the enchanting journey of baby turtles making their way to the sea, our experiences encourage you to embrace the unknown with gentle curiosity.
It’s both thrilling and serene, just like our retreats.
Dive into a world where the pace is slow, the connections are deep, and every adventure feels like home.

Our Journey Through Time
Mutuals started as a co-working studio in 2020, built around the simple idea of bringing people together.
Over time, that space grew beyond four walls. We began creating retreats that combined our love for travel with thoughtfully designed journeys for people who wanted to see the world a little differently.
Travel introduced us to places.
People introduced us to ideas.
That led us to create Mutual Grounds—specialised residency retreats where writers, filmmakers, designers, architects, dancers, and other creatives come together to learn not just from mentors, but from living, travelling, and exploring alongside one another.
Because some lessons are better experienced than taught.
As our understanding of people deepened, we wanted to create the right conditions for someone to have an honest encounter with themselves. Lost and Found came to life -a secret journey where uncertainty is designed with purpose,
As the world changes, so do the ways we travel, learn, and connect. We’re constantly reimagining our retreats to create new chances, unexpected encounters, and thoughtfully designed situations that invite people to explore not just new places, but new perspectives.
Our journey began with a simple idea in a cozy studio that transformed from a bustling co-working space into a creative haven on weekends. What started as a place for people to unwind, connect, and grow, soon evolved into a global adventure. We took our passion for travel and learning, combined them, and Unravel Travel was born—a one-week experiential travel program that invites explorers from around the world to dive deep into themed workshops and immersive experiences.
But we didn’t stop there. Recognizing the need for more focused learning, we launched Mutual Grounds—specialized retreats in Goa that bring together writers, actors, designers, and filmmakers in luxurious settings, blending relaxation with professional growth. With over 20 successful retreats under our belt, both in India and abroad, we’re expanding even further.
This year, we’re introducing Tapas Trails, a culinary journey, and Lost and Found, a transformational retreat with secret destinations. We’re also launching private, curated retreats for schools, universities, and corporate groups.
We don’t just follow a path—we create it, learning and growing every step of the way. From a room in our hometown to the vast world, our journey is just beginning, and we’re excited for what’s next.
OUR
PURPOSE
IS TO PLAY
Our Commitment
We believe the world has become increasingly connected, yet our lives have become surprisingly predictable.
We meet fewer strangers. We ask fewer questions. We spend less time being genuinely curious about the people and places around us.
Mutuals exists to interrupt that rhythm.
The chance to meet people outside your usual circles. To find yourself in unfamiliar places. To slow down long enough to notice. To learn through doing, travelling, sharing, and simply being present.
Travel is simply how we begin.
Everything else is what becomes possible along the way.
OUR VALUES
Designed, Never Obvious
Not everything memorable has to be unplanned. We spend months designing journeys where the smallest details quietly shape the way you experience a place.
Doors We Can Open
You'll find yourself surrounded by people you probably would have never met otherwise. We simply create the room, pull up the chairs, and let the conversations do the rest.
Dump the Reels
The best parts of a place do not go viral. They're found around family tables, hidden courtyards, long conversations, and traditions that continue without the gram.
Classy Not Massy
We intentionally keep our retreats intimate because meaningful journeys cannot be mass-produced. Because the best journeys feel like they were made for you.
Keeping Where It Belongs
A place is not just a backdrop for your journey. It's a living ecosystem of people, traditions, skills, and stories. We choose to spend our time and resources with those who keep that ecosystem alive
Always One of Us
No hierarchy. No pressure to impress. No need to have the perfect story.
