Our True Nature is
Peace & Happiness
You are Home
In a quiet corner of the world, Petrichor is a place to slow down, to feel the soil beneath your feet, and to breathe deep — clean, fresh air.
Our little piece of earth and sky is where conscious living and self-discovery intertwine – an invitation to rediscover the simple joys of being here and now.
Spaces
The Only Real Luxury is Your True Nature
Picture this.
Majestic hornbills, winging it through the thick, tropical breeze, announcing the rhythm of the day. Below, vast banana groves swaying, their leaves like shimmering green fans.
The air is ripe with the scent of sweet corn roasting over crackling kitchen fires, a riot of aromas that recalls distant days. Somewhere in the stillness a gecko clicks, a gentle counterpoint to the dim murmur of the village.
Here, time slows to a lazy crawl. Languid mornings unfold in tawny hues, while golden hours light up the contagious village smile.
This is a place to escape the clamor of the outside world, to turn inward, to rediscover the quiet symphony of your own soul. To see it all.
To feel it all.

Food
May Contain Extreme Levels of Goodness!
Our food is a culinary journey that draws inspiration from the ancient stories of the Eastern Himalayan kitchens, the food forest, and our community’s forest gardens.
Each dish is a harmonious blend of epicurean flavors and traditional ingredients, prepared with love, conscious presence, and heartfelt artistry.
Each plate is also a carefully crafted composition, satisfying all five senses, palettes, and nutritional needs.
So welcome to our home, dear friend. Chew slowly, taste deeply, and allow yourself to receive the nourishment of Earth-kissed food, made with dherai dherai Maya.

ZEN & the art of intuitive flow
There lies in every being a force that isn’t short of magic. It isn’t forceful or loud but in it, is own knowing, it’s own intelligence that our limited couldn’t even begin to fathom. It is devoid of an identity, form and conditioning. Let’s explore it together with our with Our Presence Focused Courses and Activities
What happens when we deeply pause? Relinquish our desire to control and achieve? What happens if we gently and bravely lean into the Unknown?
These are not mere lessons, but rather pathways of self-exploration, an invitation to rediscover the wisdom that resides within.
We have curated a spectrum of regenerative learning experiences, each a warm nudge towards patience and receptivity within oneself.
