This August, in the lush midst of Anjuna, Goa, a special experiential retreat is going to gather seekers, creatives, and soul-explorers for four enriching days of inner attunement and happy self-expression. Named “The Creative Playground,” the retreat, designed by wellness community The Balancing Act, by Pranaya Gidwani offers a considered mix of Vedic teachings, artistic disciplines, community bonding, and spiritual rejuvenation.
Led by consciousness coach and entrepreneur Pranaya Gidwani, and embodiment guide Ruchika, the retreat will run from August 14 to 17 at The Circle, a lush boutique hotel tucked away from the city’s rush. The format invites participants to shed the roles and routines of daily life and step into a space of softness, creativity, and intention.
“We are the creators of our world. Every breath, every action, every decision and every path we choose shapes the course of our lives. Each of us harbour unique goals, dreams and aspirations, making us the designers and discoverers of our own future,” said Pranaya Gidwani talking to Ascendants, reflecting the retreat’s core ethos.
A Journey through Ritual and Renewal
The four-day experience is designed to unfold in layers:
- Day 1: Opening to Possibility – arrival rituals focused on intention setting and curiosity.
- Day 2: Flow – exploring themes of release and creative openness through movement and guided practices.
- Day 3: Expression – deepening embodiment, personal style, and soulful creativity.
- Day 4: Integration – returning to life renewed, with tools and clarity to sustain the inner shift.
Sessions will include Kriyas, Vedic mantras, intuitive journaling, vision boarding, and community sharing circles. Personal style, beauty rituals, and nourishment through wholesome meals are also integrated, creating an immersive environment for reflection and reconnection.
“Strong Spine, Soft Heart”
The tone of The Creative Playground is not escapist or performative. Rather, it asks participants to dig deeper into themselves, with the constant reminder that gentleness is an art worth mastering. The space allows for both structure and surrender: ancient traditions blended with contemporary creativity.
Whether through a digital detox, meditative stillness, or vibrant movement, the intention is clear to guide attendees towards creative clarity, soulful embodiment, and self-discovery.
Participants will also leave with tangible tools: a soul-aligned vision board, personalised meditation practice, reflective journaling prompts, and a tribe of new collaborators and soul-friends.
