Processed a divorce here, unexpectedly
I came for a change of scenery and left having actually worked through things I'd been avoiding for a year. The sharing circles are optional and never felt forced.

The Story
Set on the hillside opposite Naggar Castle — once the seat of local Himalayan royalty — this retreat was founded by a former art therapist who wanted a space built around expressive processing rather than physical practice. Each day includes a guided prompt session, several hours of unstructured studio or writing time, and an evening sharing circle guests may opt out of.
Wellness Philosophy
Expressive writing and art-making as processing tools for stress, grief, or major life transitions — treated as legitimate therapeutic modalities in their own right rather than a creative add-on to a yoga schedule.
Who This Is For
Guests navigating a life transition, creative block, or unresolved grief who process better through writing or art than through physical movement.

The Destination
Kullu Manali
Pine forests, river valleys, and mountain air — a destination built for movement-led retreats and genuine digital disconnection.
Best time to visit: March to June and September to November. Winter (December–February) brings snow — beautiful, but many outdoor programs pause.
