We moved to rural pastures to live deliberately. To observe nature and learn from it. To rediscover our suppressed instincts, create something sacred and most true to life with our own hands. We want to enjoy each process and relish slow living in the mountains.
We are interested in creating a space to explore and nurture our human potential, be our authentic selves, have discourse on food (roti), clothing(kapda), shelter(makaan), experiment with new materials, express through art, and practice sustainability(imperfect).
Our tiny farm is nestled in the farmlands on a hill near Rishikesh, at the confluence of river Ganges and its tributary river Heval. The village is situated adjacent to a serene forest with its wildlife.
We envision it as an interdisciplinary nexus of art, design, visual media, science, and nature. Our mission is to build tiny using natural materials and investigate alternate biomaterials with our living friends - Fungi, Bacteria, and Algae. Our focus lies more in the experiments than the results, bringing out newer perspectives.
We envision the place as an open studio for the round pegs in the square holes. We strive to surround ourselves with dreamers, DIYers, storytellers, graphic designers, visual artists, photographers, filmmakers, natural builders, biologists, mycologists, bio designers, fashion designers, product designers, musicians, and alternate economists.
We are building a tiny cob house (mud house) with a living roof on a tiny site overlooking the Ganges using natural materials. Cob building is a very democratic and inclusive natural building technique, at the same time very therapeutic.
We are also experimenting with biomaterials and making products using mycelium(the vegetative part of mushroom), eggshells, Kombucha, orange peel powder, etc.
We would love to have you join our tribe, become part of our tiny community.

Since we are building the mud house from scratch after a year of research, attending both physical and online workshops, it is a great opportunity to learn natural building, passive solar design, experiment with different plastering techniques, dry stone walls, living roof, etc.
We could also share our knowledge about biofabrication using agriculture and food waste along with organisms such as mycelium and bacteria.
We also experiment with combining various art forms such as physical/digital art with augmented reality. We would love to collaborate with you to create experimental artworks if you are an artist.
We live with Dadi(Granny) who has lived her life in this village. The village is a tiny village with only 6 houses and we see the villagers as our extended family and have a lot of indigenous knowledge to share.
We would more than love to learn whatever you have to teach.
Min. one week stay is recommended to make it a meaningful exchange.
We require friends to help with building the mud house, social media content creation, carpentry, experimenting with biobased materials, art collaborations, planting and taking care of the crops,
helping with daily household activities.
Please note that Natural building is physical work involving manual labor but meditative and transformative.
Volunteers with experience in the following would be a BIG BONUS!
- Natural Building
- Permaculture
- Video content creation and editing
- Social Media Management
- 3D software skills (Blender)
- Design (Architecture, product, textile, etc.)
- Carpentry
- Sculpting
- Art
