Learning Belongs to Its Ground
2023
Studios, kitchens, fields and trails work as a classroom. What is learned from a place stays with it.
The School of Pursuits and Passions is curated by weareMIXD and delivered at Dhun as a placemaking programme: talks, a Culinary Lab, a Culture Lab, nature trails, The Big Sit, a farmers' market and multi-day retreats with international academies. Winter Workshops have run since 2023 and 2024. Jaipur Fringe carries the same idea outward as a festival of stories.
A programme drawn from its own place is cheap to run and impossible to copy. The teachers are the farmers, cooks, makers and ecologists already working on site.
For an owner this is the most durable programming there is. It fills the quiet months, it gives visitors a reason worth the journey, and it turns day to day operations into content.
