A retreat for those who need stillness, space, and natural beauty to create.
Our orchard, forest & neighboring Himachali villages offer a quiet, inspiring backdrop for painting, sketching, journal-ing—or simply observing. There’s no instruction or fixed schedule: just time, nourishing meals, and the freedom to explore your artistic process at your own pace. Whether you're an established artist or someone rediscovering the joy of making, the landscape and solitude here offer space to breathe and begin.
