About Community Gatherings & Workshops
These aren't just events; they are safe harbor spaces. When you book a spot for our mental health circles or tarot workshops, you’re not just attending a session—you’re stepping into an intimate circle where the seating is informal, the conversation is unfiltered, and the community is genuine. We keep these gatherings small intentionally to ensure everyone has the space to be heard.
For 15 years, our space beside Ulsoor Lake has been more than a cafe; it has been a crucible for conversation. We curate these sessions to offer something that is increasingly rare in the city: a slow, intentional environment for learning and connection. Our community gatherings range from deep-dive mental health sharing circles and 'Pen & Paper Therapy' to intuitive tarot readings and high-energy quiz nights.
We do not operate like a sterile event hall. You will find that our sessions are often hosted right here in our main seating area, surrounded by art and books, which makes for a level of intimacy you will not find in larger, commercial venues. If you are looking for an arts and crafts bazaar or a supportive group to discuss mental wellness, you will find a welcoming, non-judgmental environment here. We prioritize facilitators who bring lived experience to the table, creating a bridge between professional practice and community support.
Because our seating is limited, we encourage everyone to reach out early for registrations, especially for our popular 'Spiritual Sundays' or specific sharing circles. Come for the workshop, stay for the coffee, and leave with a new perspective.
Urban Solace
We built this place in Bangalore as a sanctuary for those who crave more than just a quick coffee. Over the last 15 years, we have opened our doors to poets, healers, quizmasters, and seekers, turning every table into a stage for human connection.
