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

A residential programme in Auroville that explores creativity as a path of self-discovery.

Offered in two formats; a one-week Executive Edition and a one-month immersion. The residency brings together reflective inquiry and creative practice, giving participants the space to pause, question, create, and realign - 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 as much an inner practice as it is an outer one. Each thread, each gesture, each moment of silence becomes part of a deeper design process: one that begins within and radiates outward.

Journey with Mentor
For 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, prompts, reflection, and presence, the residency becomes both a creative immersion and a space for inner alignment.

What We Offer

• Access to Upasana's design studio and conscious, natural materials
• Beautiful accommodation inside the community 
• Silent space for reflection and personal exploration
• Occasions for peer exchange and community dialogue
• Wholesome meals rooted in nourishment and care
• Immersion in the spirit and lifestyle of Auroville

Who It's For
The residency is curated for independent seekers, creatives, and changemakers who wish to chart their own path of reflection and discovery. 

For those with a week - the Executive Edition is a fully immersive pause, designed for anyone ready to step away from the pace of daily life and return to themselves.

For those with a month - the Full Residency is a deeper journey, offering sustained time for creative inquiry, reflection, and inner alignment within the living community of Auroville.

Applications open periodically. Watch this space or reach out to us directly for enquiries.
