Last Wednesday saw modern Australian lifestyle brand BEAR journey to Rajasthan, India, the home of wellness, to celebrate its second birthday with an intimate four-day event aptly titled: Leaders of Style III. Held at the luxury property of Aman-i-Khas, a retreat on the border of Ranthambore National Park, the event saw BEAR co-founders Saasha Burns and Sammy Leetham welcome guests Tezza Barton, Inka Williams, Leonie Hanne, We The People Style‘s Jessie Bush, and Eleonora Carisi, alongside their respective partners.
The Leaders of Style III featured a series of intimate dinners including a relaxed Welcome Dinner by the outdoor fireplace with vegan canapés and Rosewater Martini aperitifs, a traditional Indian barbecue by the pool inspired by the ancient step-wells of Jaipur, and a grand Farewell Dinner held on the lawn under the stars.
The second day saw guests treated to a private NET-A-PORTER X MR PORTER sunrise safari in open-top gypsy jeeps through Ranthambore National Park. Once the hunting ground of the Maharajah, the National Park became a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and a Project Tiger conservation area in 1973. While on safari, guests were privy to sambar deer, marsh crocodiles, langur monkeys, and a family of Bengal tigers.
When not on safari, the schedule called for some relaxation time with AMAN Raj Ayurvedic spa treatments and a BEAR Wellness Morning with THE UPSIDE where attendees took part in a traditional Acharya yoga session on the rooftop of Ranthambore Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was followed by a wholesome breakfast with BEAR Adaptogenic Superpowder smoothies on safari day beds.
The Leaders of Style III event follows Leaders of Style I held in the Byron Bay Hinterland, and Leaders of Style II in Palm Springs, California to celebrate BEAR‘s bespoke range of Essential Daily Vitamins and Essential Daily Superpowders.
