At Spanda Shakti, our mission is simple — to create a space where movement is more than performance, and art is more than an audience.
We believe in dance as a pathway to self-discovery, a language for healing, and a bridge between people from every walk of life.
Through this retreat, we bring together seasoned artists, curious beginners, and young dancers from underserved communities to share the same floor, the same meals, and the same conversations.
Here, there are no hierarchies—only shared humanity and the quiet joy of moving together.

Spanda Shakti takes place in the quiet embrace of the Himalayan foothills—far from the noise, close to the sky.
It’s the kind of place where mornings open with birdsong, afternoons invite slow walks, and evenings feel like they are made for reflection.
Nature becomes part of our practice here—the hills holding our silences, the wind carrying our movements.
Each year, we choose a setting that offers the same essentials: fresh air, open spaces, and a sense of being gently removed from the rush of daily life.
