Weekend Community Gatherings & Social Mixers in Bengaluru

We started as 'Smileys' in 2011, a group of friends who just wanted to share a few laughs on a Sunday. Over the years, that energy grew into 'The Inclusion Movement', but the core remains the same: breaking the ice.

Why We Host Gatherings

Isolation is real, especially in a fast-paced city like Bengaluru. Our weekend events are the antidote. Whether it is a 'Picnic with Strangers' at Cubbon Park or a community camping trip near Kanakapura, our goal is to turn strangers into friends by the end of the day. We are not just about filling time; we are about building a space where you can be yourself, leave your weekday stress behind, and actually connect.

What to Expect

• GATHr Picnics: Our signature Sunday morning gatherings. We organize a vegetarian lunch, dance workshops, reel shooting, and facilitated games. It is low-pressure and high-energy.
• Community Camping: For those looking to escape the city, our overnight camps feature bonfires, tent stays, and deep conversations under the stars. It is budget-friendly, inclusive, and strictly vegetarian.
• Inclusive Design: Because we are an inclusion movement at heart, our gatherings are designed to be accessible. We create environments where people with and without disabilities can interact, dance, and share stories on an equal footing.

If you are new to Bangalore, or just looking to break out of your regular social circle, come join us. There is no membership fee and no hidden agenda. Just bring your energy and a willingness to say hello to someone you have never met before.
