The Experience – A Deeply Structured Therapeutic Digital Detox in Rishikesh
This experience is not about avoiding technology forever. It is about learning to use it more consciously.
The experience at our retreat is carefully designed to create psychological safety, emotional depth, and lasting inner calm. Located in the tranquil spiritual environment of Rishikesh, this journey offers a rare opportunity to step away from constant stimulation and enter a space of clarity, stillness, and guided healing.
The Digital
Detox Experience (5 Days Without Phone)
From the moment you arrive, you are gently invited to place your mobile phone in secure storage for the full duration of the retreat. This intentional pause is not about isolation, it is about creating a safe, distraction-free space where your mind can slow down naturally. Without notifications, social media, or constant information flow, many guests describe this moment as the beginning of true relaxation.
From Arrival to Departure
Your journey begins with a warm welcome at our eco-friendly center, just minutes from iconic spots like Laxman Jhula. Upon arrival via shuttle from Dehradun Airport or a scenic drive from Delhi, our team greets you with herbal tea and a brief orientation. We gently collect your devices for secure storage, offering peace of mind through clearly explained emergency protocols.
Settle into your comfortable room, featuring bamboo furnishings, river views, and abundant natural light, and feel the immediate release from the weight of constant connectivity.
The first evening sets the tone: a welcoming group circle where you share your intentions, followed by a guided calming and grounding practice. Many guests notice an initial “detox fog” when unplugging, and our facilitators provide gentle support and guidance to help you transition with ease.
From the moment you arrive, every aspect of your experience is intentionally guided.
- Warm welcome and gentle orientation
- Clear explanation of retreat flow, boundaries, and safety protocols
- Introduction to therapists and facilitators
- Calm, unrushed transition into a phone-free environment
The goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and grounded from the very first day.

By removing notifications, social media, and constant information flow, the mind is given the opportunity to slow down naturally. Many guests describe this moment as the beginning of true relaxation.
This approach is guided with care, respect, and understanding.
