Words of our tribe
These 72 hours have the ability to reset a life you’ve been living for years together because you spend such quality time with yourself and learn to appreciate every damn thing around you..
Attending Shoonya was a profound journey of self-discovery for me. It allowed me to process my emotions and understand them fully before expressing myself. I found moments of vulnerability, love, and pure bliss throughout the retreat.
This experience was heartwarming and blissful for me. There was no judgement, no criticism but only people embracing each other with open arms and warm smiles and that felt like home!!
Shoonya helped me embrace this truth and encouraged me to live a life driven by meaningful connections and purposeful actions. It was a transformative experience that has stayed with me ever since.
Love is so abundant here, you hug every person you see, share smiles with them.
I am grateful, thankful and feeling very loved.
SHOONYA CHANGED MY LIFE!
It was just something else! I cried a lot and realized that we have a lot of power within ourselves. It is truly incredible to witness the strength and resilience that lies within each individual.

Absolutely! This festival is the safest experience for solo travelers regardless of gender, race, cast and creed. There is a zero tolerance policy for bad vibes which leads to immediate termination of your pass in case of questionable behavior.
To cancel your check-in you shall notify the team one week prior to the retreat for the ease of management. However, the amount of booking shall not be refunded on cancellation.
If you are unable to attend the festival due to any unforeseen circumstances, you may transfer your pass to someone else with the approval of the Shoonya team until February 10th.
The money received from the passes is utilized in putting up the retreat and is thus not available for refunds.
Loose clothing, reusable water bottle, and hiking shoes are a must in your backpack to enjoy the retreat smoothly. Carry a couple of warm layers to stay cozy in the cold evenings and mornings. If you’re a favorite of mosquitoes, then don’t forget to grab a mosquito repellant as it’s a retreat in the wild!
