Daily Rhythm
Burnout Recovery Retreat in the Himalayas
Friday — Arrival & Welcome Participants travel from Delhi or Dehradun and arrive in Chakrata by evening. After settling into the accommodation, the group gathers for a welcome dinner and introductions. The evening ends with a relaxed bonfire under the stars. Saturday — Nature & Exploration The day begins with a peaceful morning walk in the forest. After breakfast, the group visits Tiger Falls and spends time exploring the surrounding landscape. Later in the day, participants explore nearby villages and learn about the local culture of the Jaunsar region. The evening includes a sunset viewpoint visit followed by dinner and a bonfire gathering. Sunday — Sunrise & Departure The final day begins with an optional sunrise viewpoint visit. After breakfast, the group explores another scenic location such as Moila Top or Budher Caves before beginning the journey back. Participants return to Delhi or Dehradun by evening.
Sound Healing
Days are structured around sound sessions. Morning sessions are gentle—singing bowls, softer frequencies designed to open the day. Mid-morning brings free time. Walk, rest, integrate, or continue personal practice. Afternoon brings another session—perhaps gong, perhaps a full sound bath with multiple instruments. You lie in a comfortable position and receive the sound. Evenings are quieter. Gentle sound meditation or silence, allowing the day's resonance to settle into your nervous system. Over days, your body begins to remember resonance. Tension releases. Sleep deepens. A natural rhythm emerges.
