In August 2025, subtl got its start at ESI, Gandhinagar. Here are glimpses from the (re)treat.

subtl 1.0 was organized with the help of volunteers from ESI and incredible support from Dr. Pranoti Kukadia, Deepa Nambiar, Neela Badami, Prasshansa Rao, Sachin Sharma, Sriniketh, and Genta Tango. Special gratitude to Preeta Bansal who saw the vision of subtl taking shape at ESI and made things happen. And to Kotaro Aoki in whose presence it became obvious that Silence is the way.

Participants came from India, Japan, Singapore, US, and Panama. They represented a variety of backgrounds - artists, lawyers, technologists, investors, bankers, shamanic practitioners, yoga teachers united by a common thread of discovering what is and what’s real in their own way.

The next subtl re(treat) is from Feb 26th to Mar 2nd, 2026 at ESI, Gandhinagar (Ahmedabad). Watch this space.
