Stuck in a creative block? Or stuck in traffic between Andheri East and West? Instead of a do-nothing holiday, check out the trend of art retreats. In the hills, or among the countryside, take a break to focus on self-discovery over skill. It’s about the process, not the product. Here are three art retreats you can pick from.

Remould your soul


Organised by Dharamkot Studio, this pottery/creative retreat is situated 2100 metres above the ground in Dharamkot, Himachal Pradesh. Mainly clay-centric, pottery and sculpting leverage self-discovery, teaching patience, empathy, and the art of letting go through every curve and imperfection. This retreat allows 8-10 members per batch.
