Healing Through Writing Workshops in the Himalayas

A Space for Mental Clarity

Sometimes life feels like a constant, noisy loop. If you find yourself in that 'sab theek hai' (all is well) mode while feeling overwhelmed inside, this retreat is designed for you. Located in the quiet hills of Satkhol, Uttarakhand, we provide a container for emotional release rather than literary production.

What Happens During the Retreat

Each cohort is limited to just 10 participants to ensure safety and individual attention. Over four to five days, you will engage in:

• Guided Journaling: Specific prompts to help you access subconscious thoughts.
• Mindfulness & Visualization: Techniques to ground yourself in the present.
• Safe Sharing: An optional, non-judgmental space where you choose your level of participation.
• Group Support: Connect with others in a similar headspace.

Your Facilitator

Dr. Vandita Dubey leads every session. With over 25 years of experience in clinical psychology, she transitioned from her urban practice in Gurgaon to the Himalayas to create this sanctuary. Her approach combines professional psychological guidance with the restorative power of the mountain environment.
