Dheeraj Gowda – thirty something, with the wisdom of someone twice his age, Dee manages Dee Mandala Farms. This self-appointed son of Bhoomi Tai (Mother Earth) has been our trusted guide at every step. From purchasing the land, to growing on it, Dheeraj has helped us anticipate every tiny detail.

Jananee Mohan – founder of Ananas and a fathomless well of insights about all things nature, this little lady and her team have been the force behind the ecological design thinking at Earthness™.

Look them up — they will completely change the way you look at land.

Pooja Acharya paints her way through life, drawing inspiration from nature, animals, and the little wonders of everyday moments. With every brushstroke, she tells stories—sometimes whimsical, sometimes deep, but always from the heart.

While hooping is her passion, Yamini Gowda is equally passionate about welcoming guests to Hoopinkai, her cottage and home to countless community events.

Keep an eye on her Insta for:

• Flow Fests
• Nature Walks
• Farm Retreats
• The Brothers Collective

And endless hooping videos.
