A Month-long Journey of Conscious, Collective, and Creative Living

A one-month residency in Auroville that explores creativity as a path to self-discovery. Offered in two versions one guided by a mentor, and one self-led, it gives space to pause, create, and reconnect, held within the ethos of Upasana and the spirit of community living.

"True art is the expression of the Divine in the form of beauty.” – The Mother

This residency is an invitation to step into creativity as sādhanā, a practice of aligning body, mind, and spirit. At Upasana, design is not only the making of garments, but the making of the self. Each thread, each gesture, each moment of silence becomes part of a deeper design process: one that begins within and radiates outward.

With Mentor

For young seekers, this path offers the guidance of a mentor, someone to mirror, to listen, and to gently hold your journey as you search, question, and unfold. Supported by dialogue, reflection, and presence, the residency becomes both a creative immersion and a space for inner alignment.

Self-Guided

In the self-guided path, you are given the freedom to move at your own rhythm, to listen inward, to create in silence, to engage with community living, and to let your process unfold organically. It is an open field for seekers who prefer independence, with Upasana and Auroville as the ground that holds you.
