FACILITATOR

The retreat is led by the Founder of The Itchy Boots, known for curating soulful women-only creative retreats.

Pragya Mittal

Pragya is an introvert at heart, quietly observant, yet fiercely expressive when she creates or travels.

Painting and journeys are her way of seeing the world, each experience unfolding into colour, story, and meaning.

This fusion of art and exploration gave birth to The Itchy Boots, a space where creativity meets discovery.

Through thoughtfully curated art retreats, she invites others to slow down, create deeply, and connect with both nature and self.

Featured in Mid-Day Mumbai:

“This women-only retreat in Puducherry offers the perfect mix of painting, peace, and personal growth.

This retreat is not for everyone.

It is for women who are ready to pause, breathe, and create — without pressure.

If you feel the yes, trust it.
