An experience design lab for people who make things.

Since 2014 we’ve brought designers, filmmakers, founders, artists and free thinkers together, far from Zoom calls and glass buildings. 6,000 of them now.

6,000 people who came here to feel alive.

Actors, filmmakers, photographers, founders, designers and senior leaders. Most arrive thinking they’re the only one who feels this way. Then they meet the others, people just like them, who want to do something about the world.

2014

Where it started.

We put filmmakers, artists, musicians and founders into cars and drove through the Himalayas.

Most had never met. Ten days later some were planning work together. Everything we’ve built since started on that road.

The setting changes. The people are always the point.

We design the days so strangers become collaborators. A road, a long table, a house by the sea. Enough structure to settle in, enough open time for the conversation that changes something.

What the lab makes

Written about in Vogue, Forbes, Entrepreneur, YourStory, BW and The Economic Times

From film sets, studios, startups and boardrooms.

First-timers and fifth-time regulars, all at the same table by dinner. Every group is handpicked, so the mix is the point.

We read every application before we bring a group together.

You ask for an invite, not a checkout. A person reads your application and thinks about the group already forming. If it fits, we invite you in.

A room full of strangers should make you a little nervous. It rarely stays that way for long.
