About Swasara
SwaSara means your inner voice and true to its name, this is a place of natural harmony to release, reflect and refocus the Self. Situated on Om Beach, this place seemed perfect for our 21 Day Health Retreat, where our participants could rejuvenate and heal themselves.
Apart from the amazing facilities that SwaSara offered, a very important reason for choosing this space was that there were no stores in the vicinity, where our participants could probably go and get tempted to purchase anything which was unhealthy for them! Another reason was that this was an eco-friendly resort, an initiative that we wish to seriously support. Also they were open to cooking our way and also being able to source organic ingredients. Their chefs are so supportive and also taught us so much. Each meal that we serve at SwaSara is a sumptuous spread and is unbelievably healthy too. Plus we don't repeat anything in the 21 days!
Another feature that attracted us to SwaSara was that the whole resort is booked for us. They have amazing yoga sessions, treks, art therapy and Ayurvedic massages which ensure that all the participants have a wonderful time. Each room is equipped with a verandah and an open shower area. In the morning you can hear the birds twittering and the sound of the waves. It's truly a mesmerising experience.
We generally conduct one retreat in June and one in September. SwaSara in the monsoons is just splendid. One can even swim in the rains and feel delighted. The mangos are truly divine and most of the times, our participants just opt for mango meals, skipping their lunch or dinner. Yes, even diabetics enjoy them and reduce and eventually eliminate their diabetes while having them!
We also take our participants to the nearby town called Gokarna, which is famous for its temples. We have also visited the Buddhist caves with them and gone to Om beach for excursions and a picnic meal too. We also organise a talent night, dance sessions, games nights and more.Apart from the fun, there is a lot of interesting learning and unlearning that happens through our knowledge sessions held everyday, apart from daily cooking sessions and movie nights. Most participants go home with zero or reduced medication, weight loss, a positive frame of mind, lots of energy and a confidence that their health is in their own hands. A lot of them have told us that this was their best holiday ever!
SHARAN is all about reconnecting with Nature, and SwaSara helps us to do that so blissfully.
