Coorg Retreat
Dates: 18th September – 20th September
Art Medium: Oil Pastels
Set in the heart of a coffee plantation at Old Kent Estate, this retreat is designed for women who want to pause, create, and reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
Whether you're a beginner or someone who already loves art, this experience is about expression, not perfection.This is not a workshop.
This is not a checklist of techniques.
This is an invitation.
An invitation to slow down.
To breathe deeper.
To create without pressure.
🌿 Why Coorg?
Nestled amidst misty hills, lush coffee plantations, and winding forest trails, Coorg offers the perfect setting to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in nature.
Here, time moves differently.
The air feels lighter.
And creativity flows more naturally.
🌿 What This Retreat Is About
- Slowing down and reconnecting with nature
- Exploring creativity through guided art sessions
- Meaningful conversations with like-minded women
- Experiencing living in a coffee plantation
- Giving yourself the space to just be
- Enjoying Kodava food
No prior art experience is needed.
Only curiosity.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
For the woman who has been postponing her pause.
For the creative soul who longs for space.
For the beginner who always wanted to try.
For the seeker who knows there is more to life than rushing through it.
About the Art Sessions
You’ll explore blending, layering, colour mixing, textures, and different mark-making techniques while creating artwork inspired by the beautiful surroundings of the retreat.
All art materials will be provided, and our sessions are designed to be fun, relaxed, and accessible, allowing you to experiment with colours and develop your own creative style.
Come ready to explore, create, and take home artwork that captures a little piece of your retreat experience.
Suitable for beginners and experienced artists alike, this session is an invitation to play, experiment, and create freely in the serene surroundings of Coorg.
Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy
The Coorg retreat is rooted in a simple belief — when you step away from constant doing, you return to yourself.
We personally explore every location, every stay, every meal before inviting you in. Each space is chosen for its warmth, its character, and its ability to let you exhale.
This is slow travel.
This is conscious creation.
This is community.
