Pottery Retreat, India

Enroll in a 3-7 days long creative pottery retreat (Paid) and learn how to throw clay with a professional ceramist. This retreat will teach you everything you need to know before you start throwing pots out of the clay and you’ll be surprised how effortless it is to make your own handmade ceramic daily dishes and utensils, or anything you can think of. It also will be an opportunity to start building a collection of your own artwork that you can use every day and a chance to free your creativity while focusing on your inner being in a soothing atmosphere, surrounded by nature. You'll also meet people from various professions and backgrounds, who share a common love for art.

The Dharamkot retreat is a creative place that quells your soul. Take some time away from the city to reconnect and find a state of the balance; refresh your mind, body, and spirit. At the Dharamkot creative art retreat, you choose your pace. There is never an obligation to be involved in an activity if you don’t feel like it. Be believe relaxation isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. So spend your days getting back to the basics: stretching out in the sunlight or exercising, doing yoga or meditating, reading books under a tree, walking on forest trails or listening to the sound of nature – whatever brings inner peace to you.
