Get ready to get your hands dirty. My workshops in Vashi are not just about learning cob or bamboo, they are about reconnecting with the earth and finding a community that values sustainable living as much as you do.

The Mitti Meditation is the first part of our workshop. It's a powerful practice to connect energetically with the soil and cleanse your mind before we groove, dance, and build.

A moment from one of our theory sessions, held outdoors under the trees. We foster a community learning environment where everyone's questions and contributions are valued.

A heartfelt moment with the inspiring Vimala Nandakumar ma'am of Shaktii Academy, a powerful supporter of our vision to empower through connection with the earth.

This poster for our Cob Learning & Art Workshop captures the essence of what we do: sustainable building, meditation, and creating unique art with mud.

About The Workshop Vibe: Community & Connection

We start every workshop with my signature Mitti Meditation©️ to ground your energy before we get our hands dirty. We keep groups strictly limited to 10 participants, ensuring you receive personalized guidance while mixing cob with your feet or learning bamboo joinery, and we always end with a simple, shared vegetarian meal to foster real connections.

I am Manvi. I started Mitti Matters because I believe we all need to feel the soil under our feet again. These workshops are my way of sharing the joy of natural building, letting you create something real while meeting people who care about the planet.

The materials for this project are beautifully simple: a smooth stone, some colorful yarn, a needle, and scissors. This shows that you can create something meaningful with just a few basic elements and a bit of time.4
Here you can see the weaving in progress, directly on the surface of the stone. The stone itself becomes the loom, and the process of wrapping and weaving the yarn is a slow, deliberate, and calming activity.
This is the finished woven pebble, held in hand to show its scale and texture. The combination of the hard, smooth stone and the soft, colorful yarn creates a unique tactile object that feels wonderful to hold.
The back of the wrapped pebble reveals the knotting and finishing techniques used to secure the weave. Every part of the object is considered, making the final piece a complete little work of art from all angles.

A wonderful group of creative souls from a recent workshop. It’s amazing to see everyone, including some of the parents who joined in, find their focus and enjoy the process of mindful art.12
I love these moments of quiet collaboration and guidance. Here, I’m helping a young student with the finer details of her pattern, showing her how to build the design step by step.
Deep in concentration. This is the magic of mandala art, it helps you tune out the noise and focus completely on the present moment and the pattern flowing from your pen.
The studio floor becomes a space for creativity. It’s a relaxed, comfortable environment where everyone can find their own space and immerse themselves in their artwork.
