Not another escape
A forest, and real work inside it.
This is not a place to disappear to. It is three days of structured inner work, held in a forest, with practices designed to move something, not just soothe it.
About your host
Manisha Pathak
For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with thousands of people in one-to-one healing sessions, workshops, corporate programs, and seminars.
My work sits at the meeting point of inner work and healing. I’ve trained in several modalities, including pranic healing, hypnotherapy, akashic reading, crystal healing, and shamanic practices, but over the years I’ve built my own way of working with them. Healing alone does not hold unless a person also does the work of understanding themselves.
My connection with nature started long before any of this training. As a child, I cried for plants and birds. The Living Forest is, in many ways, a return to that.

Retreat details
Everything you need to decide.
Gir Forest, Gujarat. A 9-acre forest lodge with private cottages, wholesome vegetarian meals, and a deliberately small circle of 30 participants.
- Dates
- 24–26 October 2026
- Accommodation
- Twin-sharing cottages. Single occupancy on request.
- Getting there
- The retreat is self-arranged travel. Here's what to expect: Fly into Rajkot Airport (RAJ), which has the best flight connectivity from Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune. From there, it's roughly a 2.5 to 3 hour drive to the retreat location in Gir Forest. We can share trusted local cab contacts once your seat is confirmed. Ahmedabad is another option with broader flight connectivity, though it is considerably farther from Gir than Rajkot. For most travelers, Rajkot remains the more convenient and reliable choice.
- Investment
- ₹18,000 early-bird until 31 August. Includes all guided sessions and materials, a retreat journal, wholesome vegetarian meals, and two nights’ accommodation. ₹20,000 thereafter.
- Optional
- A Gir safari can be arranged after the retreat closes on Day 3, at additional cost.
- Booking
- A ₹5,000 token confirms your seat.
Is this for you?
Come as you are.
- You feel tired of constantly being “on.”
- You want space without having to explain yourself.
- You are coming alone and want a gentle, held environment.
- You are curious about inner work, but do not want anything preachy.
Before you ask
A few honest answers.
I have never done anything like this before.
Most of our circle has not either. Nothing requires prior experience, and you will be guided through every step.
Will I have to share personal things in front of strangers?
Never. Sharing is always an invitation, and silence is a complete answer.
I am coming alone.
Many participants do. By the second evening, most people say the circle stopped feeling like strangers.
What if I need rest instead of activity?
Then rest. Sessions are offered, not enforced. There is space in the day to simply sit under a tree and do nothing.
