In my art therapy sessions, we use color and canvas, in this case a simple T-shirt, to express emotions without judgment. It’s a powerful way to connect with yourself and others in a safe, creative space.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/66637288-d244-4d53-8cff-baceb4d8b904) - ![Watching the sunrise over the river in Coorg, I'm reminded that nature is the ultimate artist.

This journey wasn't just a career change, it was a return to myself. I believe healing can happen in galleries and workshops, not just hospitals, and I bring this passion to every retreat I lead.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/29043226-34ed-4ab7-813b-9c85692d84c9) ## About Featured You do not need prior experience to join these retreats. My approach focuses on process over product, meaning we prioritize emotional release and creative flow over technical perfection. Whether we are painting on a T-shirt for stress relief or sketching in a quiet cafe, the goal is to provide a space where you can be messy, raw, and completely yourself. ### Two Paths to Creativity I design my retreats to serve two distinct needs. The first is for the traveler who wants to engage with a new culture through a creative lens. These international tours, like my recent Vietnam adventure, are about sketching in local cafes, visiting heritage sites, and capturing the energy of a place in your sketchbook. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the experience. The second path is the domestic wellness retreat. These are curated for those who need to slow down and breathe. Held in nature-focused resorts across India, these 3-day sessions are less about sightseeing and more about introspection. We combine guided meditation with art therapy, using unconventional mediums to release stress. ### My Approach to Art Therapy As someone who transitioned from a clinical background to full-time art, I treat these retreats with the same care I once gave my patients. I don't believe in art snobbery. If you want to paint, you belong here. We use: * **Unconventional Canvases:** We move beyond the standard easel to paint on T-shirts, tote bags, and found objects. * **Nature-Based Inspiration:** We utilize the environment—riverbanks, forests, and quiet streets—as our mood board. * **Guided Release:** I facilitate visualization exercises that help you identify what you need to express before you ever pick up a brush. Everything is included—supplies, meals, and accommodation—so you can arrive with just your curiosity. ## About The Artist I used to spend my days in a clinic, but now I lead creative escapes where the canvas is wherever we decide to set up. I believe healing happens when we stop trying to be perfect and start being present. Come join the mess, the laughter, and the journey.
