Vinyasa Earth

Zariya — Connecting Creators
2026-10-24 16:00 - 23:00 UTC | Rajasthan
Zariya is Vinyasa Earth’s annual gathering of artists, creators, and curious minds — an evening that begins around sunset and slowly unfolds into a night of art, conversations, performances, music, and meaningful connections.

Held at Vinyasa Earth, Jaipur, Zariya was born from a simple thought: festivals give us a beautiful reason to come together. To reconnect with people we know, meet those we don’t, exchange ideas, experience each other’s art, and celebrate without needing to rush.

As the sun sets, Vinyasa transforms into a shared creative space. There may be performances, open stages, artist showcases, conversations, spontaneous jams, installations, exhibitions and experiences — some planned, some that simply emerge from the people who gather.

At the heart of Zariya is connection.

Connection between artists and audiences. Between different creative disciplines. Between old friends and new collaborators. And between celebration and a more conscious way of experiencing it.

Rooted in the ethos of Vinyasa Earth, Zariya also explores what it means to celebrate more mindfully — through local craftsmanship, natural spaces, conscious choices and a gathering that values participation over spectacle.

The evening continues late into the night, with the option of staying back at Vinyasa. The following morning is slower — a chance to wake up together, move, breathe, share a meal, reflect on the night before and eventually make our way home.

You don’t have to arrive with an agenda.

Come with your art.Come with a story.Come with a friend.Come curious.

Perhaps you leave with a collaboration, an idea, a conversation, a new friend — or simply a beautiful memory.

Zariya is our way of celebrating the festive season by bringing people back together.

A night to create.A night to connect.A night to celebrate.

See you at Zariya.

Artist Unite - A residency of self creation
2026-10-15 08:00 - 2026-10-24 17:00 | Rajasthan
Most artists spend a large part of their creative lives working within their own practice. A dancer rehearses in a studio. A painter spends hours with a canvas. A theatre-maker develops an idea with a small group. We meet other artists at performances, exhibitions and festivals—but rarely do we get to experience how they actually live and create.

Artist Unite is a ten-day interdisciplinary residency built around that experience.

Artists from different disciplines come together to live, create, exchange practices and experience what it feels like to be part of an artistic community.

There are no masterclasses here.

Instead, resident artists open up their practices to one another. A painter might invite you into the way they observe. A dancer might share how they begin creating movement. A theatre artist might introduce a game they use to discover characters. A visual artist might take everyone outdoors to collect, arrange or respond to materials.

You don’t need to belong to that discipline to participate.

The intention isn’t to teach everyone how to paint, dance or perform. It is to experience how another artist thinks through their art.

The Rhythm of Artist Unite

Each day has only two facilitated spaces.

The day begins with a shared morning stretch, followed by an Artist Process Session at 7:30 AM, where one of the resident artists shares an aspect of their creative practice.

After breakfast, the day opens up.

The afternoons are deliberately kept free for self-creation.

Bring an idea you’ve been wanting to explore. Continue an existing work. Start something entirely new. Rehearse, paint, write, build, research, experiment—or find another artist whose practice makes you curious and create something together.

At 6:30 PM, we gather again for another shared practice, experiment, conversation or interdisciplinary exchange.

Dinner is followed by a closing circle, and some nights may simply continue into conversations, music and spontaneous jams.

The structure is intentionally light because Artist Unite isn’t designed to keep artists busy. It is designed to give artists space.

Life Between the Sessions

Perhaps the most important part of Artist Unite is everything that isn’t scheduled.

Having breakfast beside someone whose artistic language is completely different from yours.

Walking past a rehearsal and stopping to watch.

Seeing a painting evolve over several days.

Helping somebody build an installation.

Discussing an unfinished idea over dinner.

Finding yourself collaborating with someone you hadn’t planned to work with.

For ten days, art isn’t something you travel somewhere to see.

It is simply happening around you.

That is what we mean by living inside an artistic community.

And Then, We Build Zariya.

The final day of Artist Unite is Zariya — 24 October 2026.

Over the course of the residency, Vinyasa gradually transforms from a home for artists into a festival created by them.

Performances begin taking shape.Artworks find their spaces.Installations appear.Collaborations emerge.Corners of Vinyasa begin becoming stages, galleries and experiences.

As a resident artist, you don’t just arrive at Zariya to perform or exhibit.

You experience how an entire festival comes alive through a community of artists—and you become part of it.

Artists will have the opportunity to present their work at Zariya through performances, exhibitions, installations, interdisciplinary works or other forms appropriate to their practice.

Who Is Artist Unite For?

Artist Unite is open to artists across disciplines—dancers, painters, theatre-makers, visual artists, musicians, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, writers, performance artists and interdisciplinary practitioners.

You might come because you want ten days dedicated to creating something.You might come because you want to present your work at Zariya.You might come because you’re curious about other artistic practices.Or you might simply want to know:

What happens when artists from completely different worlds live together for ten days?

The Pause Within
2026-09-18 00:00 - 2026-09-20 23:59 | Vinyasa Earth, Jaipur, Vinyasa Earth, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
A two-night, two-day residential retreat with Nikita ChawdaVinyasa Earth, Jaipur

We all experience stress differently.

For some, the body speeds up. For some, everything begins to feel overwhelming. For others, the body becomes quiet, tired or numb. Often, we continue pushing through without understanding what these experiences are trying to tell us.

The Pause Within is an invitation to slow down and become curious about how stress, emotions, tension, overwhelm, disconnection and the need for rest show up in our everyday lives.

This is not a retreat about eliminating stress or achieving a particular state of calm. It is an exploration of our relationship with stress—an opportunity to recognise our patterns, understand our signals and discover what helps us feel supported.

Part of The Collective Body

The Pause Within is being offered as part of Vinyasa Earth’s Artist-in-Residence Program.

During her three-month residency at Vinyasa, Nikita is conducting a research project titled The Collective Body — Moving Through Stress, Trauma and Shame. The project explores how we experience stress, trauma and shame, and how somatic practices may help us build a more supportive relationship with ourselves.

As part of the retreat, participants will be required to complete a short survey before and after the experience. The surveys will ask about their stress levels and their sense of safety within the body, helping support Nikita’s ongoing research.

Further information about the use of survey responses will be shared with participants before their consent is taken.

What We Will Explore

Over these two days, we will explore:

How we recognise when stress is building

How emotions show up physically

What helps us feel more settled and supported

How to notice when we are doing too much

How to pause before reacting automatically

How to remain connected to ourselves during difficult moments

Simple practices that can support us in everyday life

The retreat is experiential and rooted in curiosity. There is no particular state to achieve and no single correct way to experience it.

Who Is This Retreat For?

The Pause Within may be meaningful for you if you:

Find it difficult to slow down or switch off

Keep going even when you feel tired

Often feel overwhelmed, restless, disconnected or numb

Notice emotions showing up as tension, heaviness or fatigue

React before having time to understand what is happening

Want to understand your patterns around stress

Are curious about somatics, body awareness or nervous-system work

Simply want two days to pause and listen to yourself

No previous experience with somatic or body-based practices is required.

What You May Take Back

Rather than offering a fixed solution, the retreat may help you develop:

A clearer understanding of your stress responses

Greater awareness of what supports you

More space between what you feel and what you do next

A more compassionate relationship with yourself

Simple practices that can continue beyond the retreat

About Nikita

Nikita Chawda is a somatic therapist and Play Movement Educator who brings together different somatic modalities in her work with adults navigating trauma, stress and shame.

Her approach is not about fixing, changing or controlling the body and mind. Instead, she creates the time, space and support needed to meet ourselves where we are and reconnect with the vitality and aliveness within us.

Nikita believes that our bodies carry their own resilience, medicine and intelligence. By learning to listen to this intelligence, we can come closer to our authentic selves and allow our expression to find belonging—within us and in the world around us.

Anhad ka Baaja
2026-09-12 18:00 | Vinyasa Earth, Jaipur, Vinyasa Earth, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
An Evening of Kabir Bhajans

With Priyal at Vinyasa Earth, Jaipur

Anhad ka Baaja is an intimate evening of listening and singing along to the words of Sant Kabir.

Led by Priyal, the evening invites us to slow down and experience Kabir’s poetry through music—not only as something to be performed, but as something to be felt, shared and reflected upon.

Come as you are. Listen quietly, sing along when you feel called, and spend an evening in the company of music, poetry and people.

About Priyal

Priyal has been a musician for the past 16 years and began singing Kabir bhajans four years ago. His journey took him to Prahlad Tipaniya Ji, with whom he spent two years travelling, learning and deepening his relationship with Kabir’s music.

While he has rarely performed solo, Anhad ka Baaja marks a new step in his journey as he brings these bhajans to Vinyasa in his own voice.

Food is not included in the ticket. Guests can place their orders with the Vinyasa kitchen before the event begins.

Come listen, sing and spend an evening with Kabir.

Open Studio Exchange Week
2026-08-10 08:00 - 2026-08-15 17:00 | Vinyasa Earth, Jaipur, Vinyasa Earth, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
5 Days • 10 Artists • Learn Together. Facilitate Confidently. Earn Through Workshop Passes.

A five-day gathering for artists who want to explore facilitation, exchange skills, and learn directly from fellow practitioners.Each participating artist offers one workshop from their practice and gains access to nine others—creating a week of collaborative learning, experimentation, and community living at Vinyasa Earth.Whether you’re a dancer, musician, visual artist, writer, filmmaker, craftsperson, designer, theatre-maker, facilitator, or multidisciplinary creator, this is an opportunity to step into both roles: teacher and student.

Join the Camp

The Idea

Most artists spend years refining their craft. Far fewer get the opportunity to refine how they share that craft with others.

Open Studio Exchange Week is a space for artists who are curious about facilitation, workshop design, community building, and creating meaningful experiences around their practice.

For five days, ten artists come together to live, learn, teach, and exchange perspectives. Each artist facilitates one workshop while participating in the workshops offered by the other artists in the cohort.

The result is a unique environment where artists not only receive feedback on their work but also witness nine different ways of holding space, structuring experiences, and engaging participants.

You may arrive with one way of conducting a workshop. You may leave with ten.

Why This Exchange Matters

Workshops are becoming an increasingly important way for artists to share their practice, build communities, and generate income. Yet many artists rarely receive the opportunity to observe how others facilitate, communicate, curate experiences, and engage participants. This week is designed to change that.

By living alongside fellow artists and participating in their sessions, you’ll gain exposure to different facilitation styles, teaching approaches, creative methodologies, and audience engagement techniques.

Think of these five days as a laboratory for artistic facilitation.

A space to:

Explore workshop design

Receive feedback from fellow artists

Gain confidence in holding space

Observe how others facilitate

Experiment with new ideas

Reignite enthusiasm for sharing your work

Build meaningful artistic relationships

You may leave with testimonials.You may leave with workshop earnings.Most importantly, you’ll leave with a wider understanding of how your practice can be shared with others.

Contribution to the Space

Residency at Vinyasa functions as a collaborative exchange, and contributions will be shaped based on the artist’s discipline, strengths, and the evolving needs of the space.

While the exact nature of engagement will be discussed and mutually aligned over a call prior to final selection, a tentative framework is outlined below:

Artists are expected to offer consistent, accessible engagements for the community.For example: A yoga practitioner may offer a daily 30-minute open session, accessible to everyone present at Vinyasa.

Additionally, artists will curate a deeper weekly or weekend offering, such as:

A 45–60 minute curated session

A themed workshop or immersive practice

These offerings are intended to build rhythm, community participation, and shared experience within the space.

Independent Offerings & Revenue Sharing

As the residency does not include a stipend, artists are encouraged to design and host their own paid offerings, such as:

Workshops

Masterclasses

Private sessions

Specialized experiences

These will operate on a revenue-sharing model, with a 60–40 split (Artist–Vinyasa).

This structure allows artists to sustain themselves financially while deepening their engagement with their practice and audience.

Research Documentation & Submission

The residency places strong emphasis on rigorous documentation and knowledge creation.

Artists are required to:

Develop their research into a well-structured white paper or research document

Maintain consistent documentation throughout the residency period

Submit their work in phases, aligned with their proposed timeline

Documentation may include:

Written reflections and analytical notes

Process journals

Visual documentation (photo/video)

Interviews, observations, or community interactions

Practice-based insights and findings

Final Submission Format

The final output must take the form of a comprehensive research document, clearly articulating:

Research intent and context

Methodology and process

Key observations and learnings

Evolution of practice

Final outcomes or propositions

This document will become part of the Vinyasa Archive, contributing to a growing body of practice-led research emerging from the space.

Closing Note

This is not a retreat.This is not a production residency.

This is a slow, intentional, process-driven immersion — for those who wish to live their practice, question it, and allow it to evolve in dialogue with land, people, and time.
