We built this for ourselves first.

Dharma5 was running at full speed after we raised a round. Successful on paper. Starting to feel dead inside. Then we started doing it for others.

From 2018 to 2020 we sold out all international experiences.

Then COVID killed it for 2 years.

When we came back, wellness had gone Instagrammable. Personal development became healing drama.

So we built what we couldn't find.

We design experiences that break autopilot. Adrenaline, stillness, surprise, connection, reflection. Real. Ok if messy. Not wellness luxury-venue tourism or guru-led.

The kind you'll remember on your last breath.

Same team. Same same but different.
