Shakti 4.0: A Women's Retreat
6th to 8th March 2026
₹21,000 per person (double occupancy) | ₹27,000 (single occupancy)
Mind & Mat Co's Shakti
Any tiredness you notice in a woman is rarely accidental.
It usually has a long backstory.
It’s this fatigue of keeping the world stitched together in ways no one has named yet. Of sending a meal without announcing it, of listening to long voice notes and holding silence where it’s needed. Community doesn’t simply happen. Women quietly assemble it, between meetings, errands, and unspoken obligations.
None of this shows up on a timesheet.
Yet all of it costs energy.
And the body remembers the cost. Fragmented sleep, low-grade anxiety, a drifting away from itself, and lifestyle disorders that feel unfair but familiar.
This is where Shakti enters the conversation.
This year, it happens to fall close to Women’s Day. We wish every day honoured women with the same attentiveness. Until then, we are creating a pause… something held carefully for you.
Not to celebrate you only as a woman, but to welcome you back as a person. One who deserves rest. Softness. Unrushed time. A chance to return to herself without having to explain why.

What Shakti 4.0 holds
Shakti 4.0 doesn’t come with instructions on who you should be here.
It may gently restore what has faded.
Or it may simply place colours in front of you and let you choose.
Your nourishment might look like a warm meal, a slow walk in nature, rolling on the grass without a purpose, or sitting quietly as the sun comes up. There is room for stillness and movement, release and laughter, solitude and shared moments, without pressure to participate in all of it.
You’ll be offered:
Morning yoga and grounding flows
Breathwork and guided self-inquiry
Sound healing and meditative experiences
Art-based explorations and sharing circles
Unstructured time to journal, rest, move, or simply exist
Everything is beginner-friendly. Everything is optional.
Your body sets the pace. Always.
