About us
Welcome to The Living Room, where we co-live, not just co-exist.
Most of us spend our days on autopilot — scrolling, consuming, moving fast without ever stopping to ask: is this the life I'd actually choose? And we're doing all of it alone. Full calendars, phones full of group chats, and somehow still sitting three feet from a stranger at the same coffee shop with our headphones in.
I grew up in India, where life looked different. Neighbors checked in on each other when someone was unwell. Service showed up without being asked. People's lives were stitched together because that's just how life worked. Community wasn't something you joined — it was just the shape your days came in.
I started The Living Room because I believe two things: we need to live more consciously — slowing down, creating with our hands, eating with the seasons, choosing our days instead of drifting through them. And we need to do it together — because the inward journey gets richer when you're surrounded by people who are also choosing to live awake.
We read, write, craft, journal, cook with the seasons, and have conversations that go somewhere real. Reflectively, creatively, and together.
Come as you are. The door's open. 🙏

The Reading Room: Bring Any Book
Casa De Luz, 1701 Toomey Rd. , Arcoirist room, Austin, TX, USBring whatever you’re reading and come spend an hour in good company at The Reading Room. A novel, poetry, nonfiction, that essay you bookmarked months ago, a zine from a market, anything goes.
If reading has felt hard lately, your attention has been pulled in a hundred directions, or you’ve been meaning to get back into the habit, this is an easy way in.
We'll settle in at Casa de Luz Village — a beautiful eco-village seated under the trees with soft fairy lights overhead. We'll read quietly together, then open up a relaxed conversation about anything the pages sparked. If you'd rather just listen, that's completely fine.
You’re also welcome to bring writing or another personal project!!
There’s something surprisingly fun about a room full of people all putting their phones away and giving their attention to the page. It makes focus feel lighter, easier, and a lot less solitary.
Note: Please arrive on time so we can begin together, and if your plans change, cancel your RSVP so someone else can grab the spot.
Come as you are, we’d love to have you in the room.p.s. we rebranded from Austin Conscious and Slow Living Circle to The Living Room ATX. Same energy, same philosophy, a less mouthful of a name! Follow and Stay updated on the summer lineup of events on IG @thelivingroomatx
