Life is full

Our days are shaped by meaningful work, relationships, responsibilities and the constant pace of everyday life. Yet even a beautiful life benefits from moments of pause—moments to breathe, reflect and reconnect with what truly matters.

P R E S E N C E . . .

was created to offer exactly that: a carefully curated experience designed to provide the time, space and conditions for meaningful transformation.

Not to become someone new.

But to return to yourself.

Presence is built around six essential elements that work together to support your journey back to yourself.


 Authentic Voice

Rediscover a more authentic way of expressing yourself, communicating with clarity and living in alignment with who you are.

 Embodiment

Reconnect with your body through yoga, somatic practices, movement and breath, cultivating greater presence and inner safety.

 Sound Healing

Experience the restorative power of sound through immersive sessions designed to calm the nervous system and support deep relaxation.

 Nature & Silence

Slow down, reconnect with nature and discover the clarity that emerges when there is space to simply be.

 India & Culture

Immerse yourself in India's rich traditions, opening yourself to new perspectives and a different way of experiencing life.

 Community

Experience the power of genuine human connection through shared meals, meaningful conversations and moments of authentic presence.


Together, these six pillars create the conditions for meaningful transformation

India is more than

the setting for this journey.



Its rich culture, ancient traditions and unique rhythm naturally invite us to slow down, discover new perspectives and reconnect with what truly matters. By stepping outside our familiar routines and immersing ourselves in a different way of living, we create space to see ourselves—and our lives—with fresh eyes.

Sometimes, changing our environment is the first step toward changing the way we experience ourselves...

A shared vision.


Presence is created in collaboration with DUNE Eco Village, a place that shares our commitment to conscious living, wellbeing and meaningful human experiences. More than simply hosting the retreat, DUNE is an essential part of the Presence experience.


Together, we have carefully designed an environment where the architecture, natural surroundings, nourishing food and peaceful atmosphere support the same intention behind every practice: helping you slow down, reconnect and fully immerse yourself in the journey.


Dune Eco Village & Spa is an eco-conscious and sustainable seaside sanctuary nestled in the heart of nature. This peaceful haven combines modern comfort with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, providing the perfect setting for a retreat focused on well-being and culture. The property have their own farm with animals and a permaculture garden, their own Ayurvedic spa, is entirely powered by solar energy and is a leading re-afforestation project.


Transformation is shaped not only by what we practice

but also by the spaces we inhabit.
