Host Your Retreat With Us
You bring the vision, the curriculum, and your community. We provide the venue, logistics, and one of India's most inspiring backdrops.
Your retreat. Our venue.
THE MODEL
goSTOPS provides the infrastructure. You bring the people, the plan, and the programme. Together, we create something your community can't get anywhere else.
You're the host. Run your retreat. We handle the venue, logistics, and everything else.
Bring your craft, we'll bring the space
WHO CAN HOST
Yoga & Wellness Instructors
Run a structured yoga retreat. Morning sessions, evening practices, free afternoons — your students get an immersive experience in Rishikesh, Kasol, or Mussoorie.
Photographers & Filmmakers
Lead a photography or filmmaking workshop. Our destinations are cinematic. Teach lighting at golden hour in the mountains or street photography in a heritage city.
Musicians & Performers
Run a music camp, songwriting retreat, or performance workshop. Our common spaces become your studio and stage.
Writers & Educators
Host a writing retreat, a course cohort, or a skill-building intensive. The mountains have a way of making people focus.
AI & Tech Educators
Run an off-grid AI workshop, a founder cohort, or a no-code bootcamp. Step away from the city, get your group into deep work mode, and come back with more than just notes.
Got something else in mind?
If you have a community, a curriculum, and a vision — we want to hear it. The residency is open to any format, any discipline, any idea that benefits from an inspiring setting and a group of people fully present with each other.
