if you’re a woman who wants to write, rest, and be in this kind of space, this is for you. three days in the mountains you’ll carry with you long after.

the first edition happened in dehradun earlier this year and it was amazing. that’s why we’re doing it again. this time in bir, himachal pradesh, first week of october. mornings, writing, conversation, evenings watching the most beautiful sunsets.

these offline retreats are spaces where women come together, from all over the country. your day starts with meditation, yoga, or a walk. you write, reflect, and create throughout the day. there’s time to be on your own, time to connect, and space to learn alongside others.
