Nestled in the serene Sahyadri mountain range of Maharashtra, Dharana at Shillim is an impressive 2,500-acre sanctuary that offers a unique escape from the fast pace of modern life. Here, time slows down; nature’s beauty takes centre stage.
Shillim is more than just a destination; it embodies a philosophy that prioritises the interconnection of personal wellbeing and environmental health. This ethos is reflected in Dharana at Shillim’s seasonal wellbeing programmes, inspired by the ancient wisdom of Ritucharya and aligning with nature’s cyclical rhythms. Shillim’s magic unfolds throughout the year. The verdant embrace of the forest constantly transforms with the seasons, offering a unique experience each time you visit.
June and July mark the onset of the much-awaited monsoons with thunderstorms. The monsoon season, arriving typically in late June and lasting until September, paints the landscape with its most vibrant hues. The monsoons at this nature resort near Pune are a celebration of nature’s bounty, with greenery, luscious foliage, secret waterfalls and gushing streams. The architecture of the health retreat pays homage to the forces of nature.
Dharana at Shillim’s award-winning wellbeing programmes go beyond exercise. Recognising that nourishment is equally essential, the retreat’s expert chefs, nutritionists, and food scientists design delicious, seasonal menus inspired by ancient Vedic wisdom.
With only the freshest, local, seasonal and wholesome ingredients, each dish bursts with flavour. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, the earth-to-table meals are designed to nourish the body, mind, and soul.
Even though July and August might bring the heaviest rains, for many, these months hold a captivating magic. The downpours become a life-giving force, transforming Shillim into an emerald paradise. During your stay at the meditation and yoga retreat, you will experience a unique blend of insightful learning and wellbeing programmes, all designed to help you reconnect with nature and appreciate the crucial role water plays in our world.
Join the Waterfall Wonder, an experience exclusive to Monsoon. This isn’t just a trek; it’s a journey of discovery. Learn about the critical importance of water conservation and gain a deeper understanding of how water flows through diverse forest habitats. The expert guides help unveil the fascinating world of tiny water ecosystems, teeming with life hidden in plain sight.
Monsoons are also ideal for inward journeys, making them particularly well-suited for transformative programmes like Panchakarma, traditionally believed to be more effective during the monsoon. Dharana’s Ayurvedic Panchakarma is a holistic cleansing system designed to eliminate toxins and clear the channels (Srothas) through which the body receives and nourishes the 7 Dhattus (tissues). The individualised programme addresses disturbances in eating habits, exercise regimens, and emotional stress through a detailed analysis of your Prakruthi/Vikruthi using Naadi Pareeksha.
Combining ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern scientific methods, the retreat reignites the digestive fire, improves metabolism, and enhances colon health. It helps alleviate physical ailments and emotional stresses, boost immunity and reduce inflammation.
