Step away from the city noise and join me for a day of collective art-making, nature walks, and creative play. No art experience is needed, just bring your curiosity.

This is your invitation to leave the city noise behind. Join us for a day retreat at Swa Vana, Savandurga, where we will paint, play, and connect amidst the beauty of a permaculture farm.

Here’s what you can expect at one of our day retreats. We fill the day with expressive arts, improv games, collective mural painting, nature walks, and wholesome organic food. It’s a full day of creative fuel for your mind and body.

From a small sample painting to a full-scale mural, watch our participants bring art to life together. This is proof that with a bit of guidance, anyone can be an artist and contribute to something beautiful.

Just flowing with the rhythm of nature. This was a moment of pure presence at a retreat I hosted, a beautiful end to the year. These retreats are about finding that flow state, surrounded by nature and wonderful people.

About Escape & Create: Immersive Retreats

These retreats are designed as a complete reset, taking you out of the city and into the lap of nature at locations like Swa Vana. We do not just paint. We use collective mural work, improv games, and nature trails to help you shake off daily conditioning and simply play.

I'm Madhuri. I believe art should be something you touch and play with, not just watch from a distance. My retreats are spaces where we drop the 'do not touch' rules, get our hands dirty, and rediscover the joy of creating together without worrying about perfection.
