01 · Overview
About this event
Shama is a quiet village in the Bageshwar hills of Kumaon, surrounded by pine and oak forest and far from any town. It is the kind of place where the loudest thing in the morning is a stream.
The retreat is designed to help you reset. Mornings begin with yoga and breathwork, days are spent on gentle forest walks and in village life, meals are fresh and local, and evenings end around the fire or under a very dark sky. There is no pressure to do anything — the programme is an invitation, not a timetable.
