Heritage Home Chronicles

Goa

Weekend Beginner-friendly Max 12 guests Post-Monsoon

Spend a weekend in a restored Portuguese-era home exploring creative expression through writing, sketching, and conversation. Includes home-cooked meals and evening music sessions.

All retreats are small-group experiences designed for restful creativity and connection. No prior experience in writing, sketching, or art is required. We focus on exploration, not perfection. These are creative spaces, not therapy sessions.

Why Courtyards?

Courtyards are open-yet-sheltered spaces where light, air, and conversation flow naturally. They're at the heart of traditional Indian homes—places for gathering, resting, and creativity.

Unhurried

Slow mornings, gentle schedules, and the space to move at your own pace. We honor rest as part of the creative process.

Small Circles

Limited group sizes ensure everyone has space to share, create, and connect meaningfully with fellow participants.

Local Flavour

Heritage homes, neighborhood cafés, and quiet courtyards—each retreat is rooted in the character and rhythms of its Indian location.
