SloMo

In a world that won’t slow down, this land sets a different pace!3 days. Camping under the stars. 12 people. Countless slow moments.In the world outside, everything moves fast - notifications, deadlines, traffic, noise.At Hammiyala, time moves differently.Tucked within a 108-acre collective between the Kottebetta and Mandalpatti ranges, in the lush Pushpagiri forest landscape of Coorg, Hammiyala is a place where mist rolls slowly across hills, forests breathe quietly around you, and the sky feels impossibly wide.SloMo is our invitation to experience this landscape the way nature intended - slowly.Over three days and two nights, you’ll camp under the misty skies and settle into the rhythm of the land. Mornings begin with misty horizons, afternoons stretch into long forest walks, and evenings gather around a warm fire as the hills fade into night.One of the highlights of the experience is a 7 km guided hike along an unexplored trail in the Kottebetta range. The trail winds through quiet forests before opening out to breathtaking ridge walks and sweeping views of the surrounding hills - the kind that make you pause, breathe, and simply take it all in.But the real magic isn’t just where you are - it’s how you experience it. When you slow down, the forest begins to reveal itself: the texture of moss under your fingers, the distant calls of birds across valleys, the quiet movement of clouds drifting over the Western Ghats.To keep the experience intimate and immersive, the experience is limited to just 12 participants - small enough for meaningful conversations, and quiet enough for the land to be heard.For three days, the forest sets the pace.And somewhere between a misty sunrise, a ridge-top view, and a quiet night under the stars, something shifts.You stop chasing moments.You start noticing them.

Starry Nights: Mumbai

Six planets will line the sky and you’re invited to witness it!On the night of February 28, the sky over the Mumbai Beforest Collective opens into something extraordinary - a six-planet parade. After sunset, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will appear across the sky in a sweeping arc. With experienced sky facilitators and telescopes, you’ll see these planets closer than ever before. We will also observe the moon - its craters and shadows in striking detail thanks to its waxing phase lighting up the night.But this experience is way deeper than spotting things in the sky. It’s a guided encounter with our solar neighbourhood - understanding how these worlds move, why they appear where they do and all the secrets they hide! Through expert storytellers both kids and adults (beginners and enthusiasts alike) understand and connect with the cosmos. The experience unfolds at the 100+ acre Beforest Collective near Mumbai, surrounded by wild hills and open horizons. Away from light pollution, with limited batch size this rare celestial spectacle becomes accessible, immersive and deeply memorable.Conversations by the bonfire and camping under a moon-lit sky carry the night forward. At dawn, a magical sunrise and birdsong welcome you back to earth.This isn’t just a stargazing night - it’s a pause. A chance to look up, breathe deep, and remember how infinite wonder can feel.A night that makes the universe feel close enough to touch.

Hands & Soil

A Saturday that helps you connect with land.Hands & Soil is a farm-volunteering experience at the Beforest Hyderabad Collective, created for those who want to step away from screens and spend a day doing something real, grounding, and deeply satisfying.This is not a commercial farm or a productivity-driven setup. The Beforest Collective is a fully organic, living landscape, guided by permaculture principles - where soil health, biodiversity, and long-term balance matter more than yield. What you step into is not just a farm, but an ecosystem being carefully nurtured.There’s no fixed agenda here. Each session responds to what the land needs that day. You may be harvesting, planting, mulching, composting, watering, or helping with everyday upkeep. Some days offer harvests; others offer care. Both are equally essential.What you gain isn’t instant output, but perspective. Time working with your hands, understanding how food grows in a regenerative system, and experiencing the quiet satisfaction that comes from patience, effort, and showing up - even when the reward isn’t immediate.The day includes a simple farm-to-table meal, prepared using what’s grown on the land - honest food that tastes better because you’ve been part of the process.Timing: 10 am – 4 pmGroup size: Limited to 10 participantsChildren who are comfortable with physical farm work and can engage independently are welcome.Hands & Soil is for anyone craving a slower Saturday, a deeper relationship with food, and the quiet fulfilment of contributing to something real.Get your hands dirty. Connect with the land.

Forest Ranger Experience

Not visitors. Not tourists. For a day, your family becomes forest rangers.Set within the 122-acre Beforest Bhopal Collective - a landscape under ecological restoration. This experience unfolds on land once impacted by quarrying and over-extraction, now being carefully regenerated - with rebuilding soil, restoring natural water systems, and bringing back native biodiversity.Bordering the forests of Ratapani Tiger Reserve, people step beyond sightseeing and into participation. Guided by naturalists Dr. Sameer and DP Shrivastava, you move through the landscape with awareness — noticing pugmarks, bird calls, textures, and the lesser known residents of the forest.This is not about chasing wildlife or ticking sightings. It’s about curiosity, shared discovery and relaxed time in the forest!All meals are thoughtfully served outdoors beneath the forest canopy, prepared with fresh, organic ingredients. This is an experience in itself!Breakfast unfolds under open skies, lunch is laid out deep within the woods, and evening snacks arrive at sunset - timed with the landscape turning gold. You dine immersed in the wild, accompanied only by birdsong and shifting light.While the collective lies close to protected forests, every exploration is guided and designed with safety in mind. The day unfolds gently, with time to pause and enjoy the rare luxury of an afternoon nap under the trees. Participants leave feeling enriched, restored, and deeply connected.Limited to just 12 participants, this experience ensures personal attention, unrushed exploration, and meaningful connection - both with nature and with each other.A day that changes how you see forests!

The Coffee Safari

For those who believe coffee is more than a drink - it’s a journey.At our 300+ acre Poomaale Collective in Coorg, coffee is grown the way forests intend - under native shade trees, alongside birds, insects, and wild mammals, within one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world. This is not a plantation visit. It’s a rare chance to step into a landscape where coffee and wilderness exist together.Because farming here is forest-first and slow, biodiversity thrives, and that biodiversity shapes every cup. Soil health, shade, rainfall, fermentation, and time come together to create coffees that are complex, balanced, and deeply rooted in place. This is specialty coffee at its source - unhurried, intentional, and alive.Over the experience, you’ll walk rainforest trails, handpick cherries, explore processing and fermentation, and brew coffee right where it grows. You’ll taste coffees in different stages of their journey while being part of a mesmerizing landscape. Explore waterfalls, hike to Shola grassland and have picnic by the stream!Designed for coffee lovers, slow travellers, couples, and curious families, the Coffee Safari is a rare blend of learning, wilderness, and luxury - where we get access to something most people never get to see.Join the Coffee Safari. Come experience the wild side of specialty coffee
