Participants shaping clay together during a Dharamkot Studio retreat.

Choose the retreat setting that fits the pace you want.

Both Dharamkot Studio retreats are beginner-friendly and residential, with clay, rest, and slower days at the center. The main difference is the atmosphere around the studio: coastal Goa or mountain Himachal Pradesh.

A simple retreat format shaped by clay, place, and pace.

This is the slower, more immersive way to spend time with clay at Dharamkot Studio. Each retreat keeps the experience beginner-friendly, but gives it more room through residential stay, longer studio hours, and a day structure built around rest as much as making.

Clay stays at the center

Both retreats are built around daily studio practice, beginner-friendly guidance, and enough time with clay for the process to start feeling natural.

A residential, slower rhythm

This is more than a workshop. You stay close to the studio, move between making and rest, and let the day open up around quieter mornings and shared time.

Choose the setting first

The retreat structure stays similar across both pages, so the main choice is whether you want coastal Goa or mountain Himachal around the studio.

Two locations, two different retreat moods.
