More About Mary

Mary's History

Thank you for taking the time to visit Aatma Collective! I am Mary, and I own Aatma Collective, LLC. My worldly travels started when I was young. I traveled to Japan and absolutely loved it! My next time abroad didn’t come until college when I studied in Scotland.

I have always had an interest in storytelling. I tell my stories through books and photography. My travels have inspired me immensely, and I am blessed to have had the opportunity to travel to so many incredible places.

Mary's Mission

My travels took me to an incredible place you’ve seen mentioned throughout the website: Kodagu, India. Not many people know about this little district in south Karnataka, but I fell in love with it immediately. It spoke to my soul. It’s a farming community filled with coffee and tea farms, growing not only my favorite coffee but also pepper, avocado, bananas, and so much more. It is also disappearing; the language, culture, and its people. I promised an important friend I would share my love for Kodagu with the world.

I search for the story in everyday life; from the smallest insect to the largest building, you can create a story from anything. I pour my soul into everything that I do. My goal is to share my stories, my soul, and the best coffee ever, with you, my customers.
