The Art of Retreat - India
Introduction
Natalie and Malika met through breathwork, wellness, and a shared love of travel, and sense of humour. It felt inevitable that one day they would create something together.
And so it is… The Art of Retreat: a retreat that holds both the depth of genuine inner work and the pure delight of being alive in one of the world's most extraordinary places.
The Art of Retreat is an invitation to remember who you are beyond your everyday roles and routines - and to do it somewhere breathtaking.
THE JOURNEY
From the ancient streets of North India to the peaceful foothills of the Himalayas, this retreat moves between two worlds - exploration and restoration, outward wonder and inner stillness.
DELHI & AGRA — Pre-Retreat Optional Add-On
April 13-17, 2027
4 Nights/5 Days
Before the retreat begins, there is Delhi & Agra.
Malika - highly experienced travel curator, local resident, and someone who knows where the real gems are hidden, will lead you through one of the world's most layered cities. Magnificent Mughal monuments. Vibrant markets. Neighbourhoods where centuries of daily life continue largely unchanged. Good food, new faces, and the joy of arriving somewhere completely unknown.
From Delhi, we travel to Agra and the Taj Mahal - whatever you have seen in photographs, this place still manages to surprise you.
This portion of the trip is optional. If you prefer, you can meet us directly in Dharamshala for the retreat itself.
THE RETREAT — DHARAMSHALA
April 17-23, 2027
6 Nights/7 Days
Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Dharamshala asks something of you the moment you arrive. Slow pace, clean air, and a general stillness which makes the wellness aspect of the retreat feel natural rather than effortful.
Our accommodation sits close to the river, surrounded by nature - a place that holds both community and solitude, depending on what you need.
THE PRACTICE
Different wellness options are offered each day . Malika will guide gentle yoga and Yoga Nidra practices - deeply restoring and calming.
Natalie's somatic breathwork sessions offer something different: a way back to yourself. Beyond the roles you play, the beliefs you carry, the shape your life has taken. These sessions are held with care and with depth, with a focus on expansion, joy and reconnecting to your aliveness.
Between practices, we immerse ourselves in the life and spirit of the area.
THE EXPERIENCE
This is not a retreat that keeps you indoors.
We walk through local villages. We share a traditional Kangri Dham Thali - a feast that represents the warmth of this region. We visit monasteries. We will spend some time gathered around the bonfire. We watch a Gaddi dance performance and try our hand at local wood painting.
Malika has woven together experiences that go beyond tourism - moments of real encounter with a culture that has its own profound relationship to wellness, contemplation, and community.
