Unblock and unstuck yourself. Find spirituality in creativity. Go through a deep transformation.
Unravel your life purpose. Overcome judgement and procrastination. Find your creative flow. Heal yourself.
At Creativegarh, we do not look at creativity only as an artistic expression, a vocation, a hobby, a profession or as the birthright of a select few. We see creativity as the only way a
soul expresses itself to bring into existence something which has not existed before – be it a conversation, a better relationship, a sustainable way of life, a piece of art, a new
software, a new belief, a cure, a solution, anything. The purest form of creation however happens from the most authentic space of our being – from a space of freedom,
fearlessness, love and a spiritual signature unique for every one of us on this planet.
Over the five days of the retreat, we meet our authentic selves and we heal ourselves while reigniting a bright spark of hope and joy deep within us, far away from all the blocks,
conditioning, prejudices, judgements and beliefs. We learn to live more consciously and less compulsively and express ourselves fearlessly to create a better, joyful, fulfilling,
purposeful and meaningful life full of awe, wonder and miracles for ourselves and the worlds we touch.
If you resonate with even one of the following, this retreat is for you. And if you don’t find what describes you, still connect with us.
There are always enough reasons to walk on the path of self awareness and authentic expression.
Anyone and everyone who is willing to consider their own life as a work of art and create a fulfilling life for themselves and others, fearlessly and freely from their most authentic space will get the best from this retreat.
This beautiful program designed painstakingly with immense love heals you from limiting beliefs, unaddressed wounds and painful experiences, internal and external blocks, gives you powerful tools for self awareness, and allows you to step into your own power and create a life of your choice, not a life you’ve been given.
The retreat is built within a fluid, customisable 5-day framework. It is uniquely crafted for each passion, profession, personal goal, soul project and purpose of the cohort members.
Every retreat is different and brings its own energy and vibe. And every cohort leaves with a sense of intense bonding, and the power of the universe beaming through them.
You will embark on an intense healing process that will lead you to answer the ‘why’ your soul is searching for. You will be able to articulate your purpose, find your true north, revive and re-vibe the journey on the path. The path of experiencing life aligned to your spirit and your calling, a life that is bigger than your resume and allows you to step into your light and power and pour your gifts and talents into the world for the higher good.
You will reacquaint yourself with your inner self and reignite your boundless spirit. You’ll learn how to bring a sense of ‘play’ into your life and keep your inner child fulfilled and thriving. You will take a deep dive into your own self to unravel stifling patterns and limiting beliefs that have been holding you back. You will have the awareness and the answers to move from a compulsive life of reaction to a conscious life of response. You’ll instinctively say yes to new ideas and new ways of viewing the world around you. You’ll learn how to unplug, and reconnect with yourself on your inner journey of discovering your authenticity, your beingness. You will walk the spiritual path through creativity and connect with yourself and the universe in a beautiful, effortless way.
You will be able to identify, and uproot the obstacles and blocks in your path that are holding you back from living fearlessly. You will learn to tackle issues such as procrastination, fear of failure, judgement, resistance, doubts, uncertainties and lack of ideas or confidence. You will find help in tapping into your unexplored potential and unlocking your creative wellspring. You will be able to reset, refresh, revive and re-vibe your process. You’ll also discover new methods, techniques and hacks and the secret sauce to become an unstoppable, unabashedly proud co-creator of your own life.
Build your wings and learn to fly on the way. You'll be able to advance in your career and learn how to pitch ideas to clients, customers, investors, and the universe at large, thanks to a one-of-a-kind toolkit. Through a variety of playful ideation techniques, you will cultivate an abundance mindset and generate ideas on demand. You'll also learn how to use everyday creativity and innovation to generate disruptive ideas on the fly.
Enthusiasm moves mountains. You’ll be able to understand and outline what it takes to start and run a side hustle or a long-term business based on your passion one little step at a time. You’ll be able to explore ideas of living a life with a portfolio career. Find viable ideas, processes, guidance, projects, collaborators and mentors to establish your niche.
Put your best foot forward and take a leap of faith. The human soul has a natural desire to find purpose, and looking at the things that capture your heart can help you figure out your soul project. You’ll be able to dust off the dreams you have been harbouring for very long and put them back on track - now aligned to your purpose - ensuring that this time around, you won’t run out of motivational juice. You’ll be able to make use of your talents, find ideas, definitive next steps, collaborators and community, learn about brand stories, brainstorm on business plans, revenue models and value propositions for your soul project. Know where you should start, what’s the best way to get it moving and how to tell when you’re ready to strike out on your own.
what
happens
at these
retreats?
Creativity and spirituality are dance partners. No creative journey is complete without looking inwards.
Beautiful locales, beautiful beings, beautiful ideas. It’ll all come together.
Creativity and spirituality are dance partners. In fact, creativity is spirituality and spirituality is creativity. And at the intersection of this divine dance, sits Creativegarh helping you find your feet as you explore your own being, while being connected to the oneness of the universe. While we may not be a spiritual retreat in the conventional sense of the word, emotional, creative, healing and spiritual breakthroughs are expected outcomes of our process.
While our retreat is always at an uncommon location and we do get enough time to explore the surroundings, we are not an experiential travel retreat. Nonetheless, you will experience the thrill of travelling inward every day.
We are not a quick-fix camp or a workshop with a single problem-solving agenda or to learn a design process. We are not a program created by process experts teaching design thinking or corporate trainers teaching theoretical creativity with case studies, Lego and playdough. The idea is for you to go through a process of deep and lasting change, the outcome of which is a fundamental life transformation that stays with you for life. This program is not a creativity and innovation program created by a premier institute for students and corporates, rehashed as a 5-day retreat.
We are not an art therapy retreat. We are not a creative skill development workshop or a typical writing, art, pottery or photography residency. But what you learn here will help you get better at all these. We do not teach creativity but we inspire people to allow themselves to be creative with finding solutions in their lives for their personal and professional growth.

I write this testimonial to encourage those who are lost, those who struggle to look in the mirror, those who identify themselves by a job title, an industry or profession and last but not least those who have dedicated there lives to motherhood. I identified myself with all of the above, struggling to spend time on myself, many hobbies but all one hit wonders, never finished. Hours scrolling on my phone, lost, invisible. Confident for everyone, insecure for me. Creativegarh took me on a journey, (I am not sharing details as this is the magic) gave me 13 guardians, cheerleaders and a purpose. I’m not an artist, a singer, photographer, etc., and you don’t need to be. I am me and I have my sparkle back, thanks to this wonderful life experience. I have forgiven and asked for forgiveness. I have removed blame and made peace. I have packed up my baggage and sent it away. Mikha gave me peace, love and internal stability. Arun gave me purpose, self love and freedom. Nancy gave care, selflessness and calm. My cheerleaders gave me confidence, encouragement and trust. This retreat is for anyone, no limitations. I share this with deep gratitude and the opportunity to share the Joy I am now blessed with. It’s time to say YES to each day, each moment. To lifelong friends, a community where you will never feel alone.
Heartiest thanks to Arun and Team Creativegarh for sharing their wisdom, techniques and methods with us. Creativegarh's process has changed my life. I realise, in the last few years I had been living with a wrong perspective, but Creativegarh has altered my panorama and rebuilt a new mindset and soul. It has changed my vision for myself in just five days. I am feeling more confident of doing what I have always wanted to do. It has given me a new purpose in life. Thanks, Arun for your mission to transform our lives... I already feel like an updated version of myself ... VishalGoyal Version 2.0 :) Keep going! Love you a lot!
Thank you for so much for giving me this opportunity. Everything happens for a reason and I truly believe that. I was literally questioning my existence and what does my life hold for me beyond work and home. I was experiencing this deep void and that's when the retreat happened. During each day of the retreat I discovered beautiful revelations about myself and my life. Thank you for mentoring me and helping me find my purpose. I feel so much at peace now. And I just wanted to share this, I met a friend of mine just now and he said he has never seen me so happy and that he felt so much of positive energy radiating out of me, that he has gone back feeling good.
I come from the advertising community and Arun knows that 'I know it all' ;-) So I had signed up for the retreat out of curiosity. Just wanted to get away for a few days and come back refreshed. But the universe had other plans and it kept me on hold till when it was my time. So I land up at Kasauli, a little excited, a little sceptical. But wanting to explore. And then the bombs started falling and before I realised it, I was on a fast horse, racing to a horizon which promised to be life-changing and I had a huge adrenalin rush. The retreat was far-far more than I had ever expected or imagined. The fact that I have 12 new, absolutely awesome people in my life and I'm loving every moment of it is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm on a continuous journey of self realisation, self improvement and reorganising my life. And the fact that Arun and Mihika are constantly present with help, the little snippets of thoughts and guidance to keep us properly focused is the icing on the cake and I'm very grateful to both of them for everything. And I must take this opportunity to properly thank Nancy. She was the quite unassuming presence that had our back at the retreat. Her efforts to make our stay comfortable made our experience of the retreat so much better. I think she played an equally important role as Arun & Mihika in the success of the retreat. So thank you guys for everything, everything, everything!
I walked into the retreat at Goa not knowing what to expect. A few minutes in that room full of such positive energy and I knew I was at the right place. Over the next five days, I was able to clearly articulate a future vision for myself from a place of optimism and confidence instead of fear. I now, find myself much more grounded in my values and confident about pursuing my goals, knowing that Arun and Mihika have my back for the rest of my life. Thank you both for helping me find my purpose. You have helped me grow into a woman who is embracing what I really want in life. Thanks for making the world a better place!
A few months back, I was feeling stuck and overwhelmed in life. I was looking for a retreat of some sort - spiritual retreat, detox retreat…was open for any of these. But I’m just so glad that Creativegarh showed up and I responded. The last 5 days witnessed magic in the mountains! Everything that you shared with us came from a place of so much power and belief, yet balanced with much sensitivity and compassion. Constantly seeking to becoming my better version, it has been a truly enriching experience. I’m so glad to have cleared the clouds and find clarity of purpose! I’m excited to see what the road ahead will look like for all of us. Being a part of your cheerleading tribe is enormous. Thank you for everything and for being you.
A friend of mine had recommended The Creativegarh Retreats to me. I had been amazed at her transformation and I was convinced at the outset that this 5-day retreat was going to be a gift to myself. Attending it in Kasauli recently has been the best decision of my life. It’s a toolkit for life — five days of understanding the power of writing; the power of thinking; the power of letting go; the power of knowing how to remain committed to your purpose in life… five days to removing all the mental blocks to finding the real you to valuing and respecting your hidden potential. I would urge everyone to experience the power of the Creativegarh Retreats programme. Gift yourself the gift of understanding and valuing your life by removing all the clutter that’s holding you back.
Creativegarh prepares you for the journey of life like no other. Be it your personal relationships or your professional dynamics, everything in this retreat works towards making you realize your full potential, which indeed a priceless treasure, like gold. All of us have gold hidden within, but we have to dig to get it out. Arun and Mihika help us do all the digging. Mind boggling to see how just 5 days can make you see lifetime worth of clarity. This goes without saying that this retreat is a must for everyone, for all human beings. As simple as that! It is easy to be different, but it’s very hard to be better. Creativegarh truly does that!
Let me paint you a picture - imagine 13 strangers in a room going through highest and the lowest of their emotions at the same time. And today, we’re the closest of friends. I for one, never imagined I’d make friends at this point in my life. Creativegarh has been a life-altering experience for me. I can finally see things clearly and for what they actually are. The retreat not just gives you clarity about your purpose but is actually an overhaul of how you really see the world around you. By the end of this, I was bouncing off the walls! In short, unleashing your true potential to bring to life your purpose while you find yourself a group of cheerleaders for life is what Creativegarh is all about. More than anything, it’s a divine intervention. And all this in 5 days! Mihika and Arun, you both are something else. Nothing but gratitude for everyone who’s worked towards making Creativegarh a reality.
Creativegarh is not just any other retreat to learn about creative process. It is an experience of life. It takes you on this amazing journey of looking at your life in retrospect and then deciding to take charge of what’s coming next. The time spent here were the closest 5 days I had with myself since a long time. We tend to miss on lot of things when life happens. This is an experience that takes you back to yourself. You must be doing so many things in your life at so many stages but it’s never enough. This will help you find your enough and be at peace with it. I didn’t come with many expectations, and I surprised myself during this journey. I recommend this everyone to see a different side of your own self and even if you think you have in control, trust me you are in for a surprise. Arun and Mihika, thank you for allowing me to be on this journey and thank you for doing what you do. The world we live in needs this.
Having attended the Creativegarh retreat in Kasauli, I am back in Mumbai rejuvenated and ready to live my purpose. Arun is an amazing facilitator and his commitment and passion to bring transformation and purpose to every participants life was palpable and consciously done. Starting with the video interview to every exercise and sharing, it was designed and customised to each participants requirement while working in a group. And the content was beautiful ...focused yet flexible. And the energy and sense of belonging to the group that this workshop inspires is powerful. And it is Arun's energy which drives it, holding space for everyone and questioning our bullshit as well. Thank you so much for giving me a master lesson in facilitation as well as changing my life forever. I will live my purpose with confidence knowing that the universe and you will always have my back.!
Creativegarh Retreat - An unforgettable and uplifting experience. I truly thank my boss who pushed me to attend the retreat. What a beautiful journey it was to grow from within in just 5 days and discover the universal principles behind creating a life filled with joy. There were so many A-HA moments which made me let go of things settled inside me for years. The Retreat gave me the opportunity to explore myself, to find my real passion, and above all to find MY PURPOSE IN LIFE. I feel that positive energy in everything I do now. The perspective of living and leading my life has fully changed. All thanks to Arun, Mihika and Deane for bringing in this transformation in me. #TransformedSaloni
Transformation or unleashing your creating self is an understatement for what this retreat does to you. It is a very well designed program that methodically and through various processes is able to help you discover your potential. It can go deep within and touch your soul in a way that nothing ever has. For me it got me out of a shell that I had built around myself for twenty plus years and brought the best version of me out from the depths of time. I highly recommend it to everyone not just for clarity and insight in their professional but personal life as well. A big thank you and Kudos to Arun and the team of Creativegarh for making this retreat a life changing experience.
If you really take it seriously, the experience will be life-changing and I am not being dramatic at all! Immerse yourself into the sessions and the discussions at the retreat and you will understand what is stopping you from achieving your full potential and what will allow you to achieve JOY in life! Absolutely recommended for anyone and everyone who want to transform the way they approach life and living. Talk to me if you have any doubts or want to know better.
Dear Arun, Mihika & Deanne, today you have released 14 souls back in the world who have found their purpose and joy and will spread it everywhere they go. We are now connected with an invisible language that is so powerful. Eternally grateful to be reborn.
Free, Cleansed, Rejuvenated, Renewed, and I could just go on and on and on. And when I say that this Retreat truly transforms you, I mean every single word of it. I never even knew Arun before this Retreat. And now? Now I will be one his biggest cheerleaders, as he goes about this journey of transforming peoples’ lives. Go on this cathartic retreat and find the things you never knew were holding you back, Go find some cheerleaders for your passion, Go find some life long friends, Go find the purpose you're meant for. I’m telling you. Just. Bloody. Go.
Creativegarh has given me a new lease of life, helping me connect with my inner child and unravel my life's true purpose - all while discovering joy in the smallest things that life has to offer! No matter what background you come from, the well-thought out structure of the program helps everyone unlock their potential, at a spiritual and practical level. I would highly recommend the retreat to anyone looking to turn over a new leaf and look at life, work, relationships all through a new lens! Can't thank Arun and Mihika enough for infusing so much meaning in those power packed 5 days, that will last for the rest of our lives!
Creativegarh has been a life altering experience and a real blessing for me. Sheer positivity, enthusiasm and the dedication of the entire Creativegarh team for each one of us. The efforts put in by this team to make us realise what we're missing out on by relinquishing and procrastinating our inner beliefs, our calling and our happiness - and for what? Just stupid notions we build to suppress our inner child! It is an experience of a lifetime and the positivity I came back is still instilled in me and no one can take that away - that's the power of this retreat! It's not a workshop where you're enthusiastic for 5 days and then back to your mundane lives but it transforms us to transform the world around us and making a better and happier place for all. I only have immense gratitude and love for the entire team!
I am good to go for for another two years. After that, one more Retreat with Creativegarh. I have my mind clutter-free, my thoughts crystallized and a timeline for my book. Arun, Mihika, Deanne, I am ready to pay more! The Retreat was deep enough to tickle my being, and tell me that I can tap it if I am open to the universe. The content worked for me as if it was custom-made. Thank you!
I enrolled for a retreat with no preconceived notion and my decision was absolutely spot on. The journey of those five days was life changing in various ways. Starting with knowing yourself better to knowing life better and of course "finding your purpose" or realizing your purpose when you always had it in front of you. The best thing happened at the retreat for me was the new perspective for life and people around me. It was an overwhelming experience and turning point. I would like to convey A Big Thanks to Arun, Mihika, Deanne and all my cheerleaders for making this experience an unforgettable one. I truly urge that everyone should go through this stupendous journey at least once in a lifetime.
I signed up for the retreat with very little expectations, the idea was to have fun, meet people and come back. I was already in the space of healing and transformation but, what happened during the course was honestly a miracle. Arun could hold the space for all of us, to get transformed, and that also in a beautiful structured way. I am not what I was - post this retreat I am what I always wished to be, full of love and forgiveness, moving towards my purposeful life, with lightness, faith and ease. I plan to gift it to my daughter soon...
