Woods At Sasan, the modern wellness retreat in the majestic Sasan Gir forest of Gujarat is back with its proprietary holistic wellbeing festival SomRas- a celebration of mindful co-existence from 21st December 2022 to 1st January 2023.
SOM, the wellbeing chapter by 1000 Island Hotels & Resorts offers best-in-class wellbeing programming and is created to honor a way of life that harmonizes holistic wellbeing through a range of time honoured, eastern philosophies to promote a new and yet easy to decode path towards sustainable life habits through a modern expression.
With a belief in offering curated mindful experiences, Woods At Sasan presents SomRas, an annual celebratory festival that is a step towards attaining a sustainable lifestyle by raising a toast to simple forms of wellbeing via art, music, storytelling and healing in the midst of art & culture, while always being playful and flexible as wellbeing is subjective to individual needs!
This is their second year of celebrating wellbeing as a holistic festival, with this year’s theme being “Svādhyāya: Know Thyself”, Woods At Sasan will create a flow of classes and workshops with Healing Art experts and artists to allow guests to rejuvenate through the senses. SomRas offers guests an opportunity to tune into themselves through different themes – Connect, Expand, Express, Feel, Celebrate and Play each day, in a non-regimental format.
With a key message of offering wellbeing as a sustainable practice with a joyful approach, few highlighted experiences the guests can look forward to are Dorodango, Tai Chi, Ecstatic and Fire Dance, Sufi renditions and Poetry, DIY dying, Forest Bathing etc. along with classes on Ayurveda and Permaculture amongst others. The property will also be unveiling their novel sound healing experience with their newly launched SONORIUM by Svaram. At the Sonorium, experts offer novel sound healing experiences with configurations of carefully curated ‘sound resources’ that ease the receiving person into a Nidra/Alpha state of deepened awareness, which brings refreshing rest and naturally stimulating homeostatic, self-healing capacities.
“Through art, expressive music and dance, meditation and yoga, hands-on farming, story-telling, reading sessions and movies, Woods At Sasan fosters an atmosphere of playful and lightness of being, we enable human connection and promote an inclusive discussion on holistic wellbeing in a sustainable format”, says Maulik Bhagat, Founder & MD, 1000 Island Hotels & Resorts.
