Everything you might want to ask before saying yes.
Artha is for anyone who feels the pull toward stillness but hasn't yet found the space to answer it. Most guests arrive alone. Some come at a turning point — a loss, a transition, a quiet exhaustion. All are welcome exactly as they are.
None at all. Every practice is offered, never required, and adapted to where you are. Beginners often find the retreat the most transformative — there is nothing to unlearn.
This includes your accommodation, all seasonal meals, daily yoga and healing sessions, creative workshops, guided local experiences, airport transfers, and all activities listed in your retreat itinerary. The only things not included are your flights, travel insurance and any personal purchases.
Once your place is confirmed we share the exact location a few weeks before your arrival. We advise on the nearest airport and arrange a private transfer for every guest.
Reservations are fully refundable up to 30 days before arrival. Within 30 days, your deposit may be moved to a future retreat date.
Absolutely. Slow living is at the heart of every Artha retreat. There will always be unscheduled time for you to rest, wander, journal, or simply do nothing at all. Not every moment needs a purpose — and we mean that.
Most women do. Coming alone is actually one of the most common — and most rewarding — ways to arrive. Building genuine connection with like-minded women is one of the core intentions of Artha. You won't feel alone for long.
We'll send a detailed packing guide as part of your pre-retreat information pack. As each retreat takes place in a different location with different activities, the specifics will vary — so we'll make sure you arrive knowing exactly what you need.
Always. You're invited, never expected. Every session, practice, and gathering is an offering — not an obligation. You know yourself best, and we trust that.
Yes — local discovery is woven into the retreat. There will be free time to explore at your own pace, as well as curated group experiences in the surrounding area. Part of what makes each Artha retreat unique is the place it calls home.
This is not for you if
You are looking for a spa holiday, a packed itinerary, or a place to be seen. Artha is interior work, held in community. It asks something real of you.
