The pandemic and subsequent lockdown have paved the way for a plethora of retreats to sprout up across India. From wellness and spiritual retreats to emotional and yoga retreats, the options are endless.
India, known as the spiritual capital of the world, is home to over 250 retreats that cater to individuals from all walks of life. These retreats are a sanctuary for those looking to escape the stresses of everyday life, whether you’re a carefree teenager or a seasoned housewife.
But let me introduce you to a retreat that stands out from the rest –CREATIVEGARH.COM founded by the multi-talented Engineer, Arun Verma, in 2021.
This retreat has already completed 150 successful sessions. In Arun’s own words
“I have been a ‘serial’ creative for as long as I can remember. I identify with being a copywriter, a sculptor, an adman, a communication specialist, a creative director, an artist, a design entrepreneur, a SaaS tech entrepreneur, a lighting-accessories-furniture-interior designer, a creativity coach and now also a knitter. The most satisfying part of which is, I am a practicing creative every single moment of my life.”
So, if you’re looking to unleash your inner creativity and embark on a unique retreat experience, look no further than CREATIVEGARH.COM, led by the visionary Arun Verma and supported by the talented Creative Director, Deanne Fernandes, this retreat promises to be a one-of-a-kind journey into the world of creativity.
Doesn’t it sound a tad peculiar and eccentric? Indeed, it does, and so is he. Words effortlessly stream through his mind onto paper, the keyboard, the iPad, and the mobile phone. He diligently crafts an Insta Post every single day, come rain or shine.
Why am I shedding light on him, you ask? Well, I had the pleasure of being a part of a retreat (the most infamous one, according to him) that took place in Goa in the year 2022. I had the opportunity to get acquainted with him and his team, witnessing the remarkable work they have been dedicatedly putting in.
His team members put in a ton of effort on their homework, and he always delivers like the legendary cricketer Rahul Dravid. Let’s be real, they don’t teach you any fun stuff like painting, singing, dancing, or writing. They basically just mold you into a fearless road warrior.
Your inner child gets a makeover when you leave and face the real world. No more worrying about what your mother-in-law will say, or what that nosy neighbor Uncle is gossiping about, or what your old school buddy might think. You might show up looking like a wrinkled shirt, but they’ll toss you in, wash you up, iron you out, and steam you to perfection like a brand new shirt.
We had an absolutely fantastic time in Goa, but unfortunately, Arun decided it wasn’t the right spot for his future retreats. The evenings were a bit tense for him, as everyone seemed eager to call it a night.
Some of us, acting like eager school kids, begged Arun for permission to hit the beach early. He reluctantly agreed, but surprised us all by gifting each of us a bottle of wine with their respective names on the label eg: “Ram – Unbottled now.”
If you’re feeling bottled up, down in the dumps, or just plain out of sorts, this is the place for you.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a total mess to join in. It’s a place that will rejuvenate you, clear your mind, and bring out your best self.
I wanted to share this message to help out anyone looking for a genuine retreat to spark their creativity and ignite their passion.
