“Finding Purpose In Your Passion”

Our 8-day road trip retreat across Karnataka was all about discovering purpose through passion, guided by the Japanese concept of Ikigai. We began in Bangalore with a cozy sip-and-paint session in a forest cabin, building connections from the start. In Chikmagalur, we immersed ourselves in coffee culture, living in a coffee plantation and learning its history amid the Bababudangiri Hills. 

Witnessing the rare Neelakurinji bloom, we then ventured to Mulki for kayaking and surfing at India’s first surf school. Coorg’s lush estates hosted us as we explored visual literacy and caught breathtaking sunrises at Mandalpatti Peak. Our journey wrapped up in Mysore, where we marveled at the Mysore Palace, savored dosas, and concluded back in Bangalore with a deep dive into Indian classical music at the country’s first music experience museum. Every moment on the road was filled with discovery, conversation, and finding purpose in what truly drives us.
