PEOPLE BEHIND YOUFINDER
The people who keep showing up.
Different editions bring different hosts, facilitators, artists, collaborators and people.
These two have been around for most of the YouFinder story.
RAHUL KUMAR
Founder · Experience & Direction
Rahul has spent years building places and experiences where people arrive as guests and somehow stop behaving like guests.
Before YouFinder, that meant Mudhouse, Himalayan Cabin, Karyashaala and Fika through Experiential Living Projects.
At YouFinder, he works across the experience itself: the places, people, format, partnerships, storytelling and all the small decisions that determine how a room feels once everyone arrives.
He is usually somewhere between thinking about the next edition and making sure the current one still feels human.
VARSHA PUNARVASU
Core Facilitator · Human Connection & Embodied Experiences
Varsha has been holding the guided side of YouFinder Retreats since the early editions.
With a background in psychology, expressive arts, movement and mindfulness, she designs experiences around human connection, the body, expression, reflection and the ways people relate to themselves and each other.
Some sessions go deeper.
Some are playful.
Some involve movement.
Some involve very little talking at all.
Her role is not to make everyone have the same experience.
It is to create enough structure for people to safely explore their own.
