a little bit about us...

We’re Max and Akanksha — two people who met in 2022 and quickly realized we were dreaming of the same thing: a softer way of being in the world.

​

Since the beginning of our relationship, we’ve shared long conversations about purpose, presence, and how to build something meaningful. We both wanted to create a project that would bring people together — not around performance or pressure, but around authenticity, reflection, and connection.

​

What became clear is how many of us live in a state of constant tension — our nervous systems stuck in survival mode, running on stress that we don’t always recognize or know how to release. We’ve been there too.

 

Learning how to slow down isn’t just a mental exercise; it’s about understanding the biology inside us and having tools to reset and reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.

​

So we decided to build what we were craving:
• A space to show up honestly - just as you are.
• A space to use your imagination and express yourself creatively.
• A space to connect — with yourself, with others, and with the earth.

​

Kalma is that space.

​

We’re in this with you — still learning, still unfolding, still figuring it all out. And we believe deeply in the power of authentic expression, of being witnessed, and of gathering around something real.

​

Thank you for being curious.  For wanting more. For taking a stand for a more balanced world.

​

From the bottom of our hearts, we can’t wait to meet you.

​

With warmth,
Max  &  Akanksha
