About Venue
As the shoonya festival of nothingness arrives in Rishikesh, we set our ground zero at the largest campsite in Rishikesh. The festival ground is located 9 kms from Laxmanjhula in a small village called Ghattughat.
Surrounded by lush gardens and a gentle stream, it provides a peaceful space for wellness experiences. With a variety of thoughtfully designed camps, serene pools, and open spaces for gatherings, the venue encourages mindful practices. You can enjoy nature walks, creating meaningful moments of connection with themselves and the environment. Cozy communal areas and quiet nooks invite participants to relax and recharge.
A tribe that celebrates the true you!
Life can be demanding and overwhelming, and sometimes there’s a feeling of disconnection. We created the Shoonya festival to press pause, breathe deeply, and embark on a journey of self-discovery through nothingness and mindfulness. Explore the depths of your being and embrace the connections that truly matter.
It’s more about the people at the Shoonya festival, which is a gathering of seekers from all walks of life united by a shared desire for personal growth. It’s a chance to meet kind spirits, forge deep friendships, and create lasting memories in an inclusive environment.

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.
