Amid the constant hum of urban life in Gurgaon, a serene sanctuary has quietly emerged, offering city-dwellers a place to pause, reflect, and heal. Eternal Oasis – A Centre for Arts, Culture, and Spirituality, located in Sector 42 along Golf Course Road, is fast becoming a vital retreat for those seeking deeper meaning, mindful living, and authentic community connections.
This August, Eternal Oasis is curating a series of transformative events designed to help residents reconnect with their inner selves. This weekend, the centre plays host to “Theatre for Healing” by Kanupriya Theatre Company, a deeply immersive experience crafted to help participants process emotional trauma, release suppressed anger, and combat isolation—issues that resonate strongly in the high-stress environment of modern cities.
Following this, the much-anticipated “Day of Nothingness” on August 15, curated by the Shoonya Festival, will offer an expansive day of introspection. The event promises guided meditations, breathwork journeys, sound healing sessions, a communal drum circle, and a quiet reflection space, all thoughtfully designed to create space for stillness, clarity, and presence.
India’s corporate sector has seen a surge in mental health challenges in recent years. According to Deloitte’s 2023 survey on mental health in the workplace, over 80% of Indian professionals report experiencing workplace-related stress, with Gurgaon topping the charts in emotional fatigue. Nearly 47% cited stress as the main factor affecting their mental well-being. The McKinsey Health Institute’s 2023 report also placed India at the highest global ranking for burnout symptoms, with 59% of respondents identifying with its effects.
“Centres like Eternal Oasis are the third spaces our cities desperately need,” shares Umesh Mathur, Founder of Eternal Oasis. “They are safe corners of the world where people can pause, breathe, feel, and simply be. In the age of endless noise and productivity, we need platforms that nurture the unseen dimensions of our health—emotional, mental, and spiritual. That’s what we are building here.”
In a time when the world is leaning toward slow, conscious living, Eternal Oasis stands as a gentle reminder of the power of presence. As Gurgaon residents navigate life in one of India’s most fast-paced urban centres, this soulful haven invites them to reconnect—with themselves, with each other, and with the simple joy of just being.

In a world that rarely slows down, a new wave of Indian travellers is choosing to do just that—and finding healing in the process. While India has always been the cradle of ancient wellness sciences like Ayurveda and yoga, its wellness seekers are now expanding their journey beyond borders. The shift isn’t just about luxury—it’s about longevity, self-discovery, and reconnection.
Post-pandemic, Indian tourists consistently led arrivals to the Maldives, and today, the country remains among the top international markets. Wellness travel has become more than a holiday trend; it’s a personal pursuit of balance, often spanning two to three weeks each year. Four Seasons Resorts Maldives is leading this transformation by offering experiences that are not only luxurious but meaningfully restorative.
AyurMa at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru
Set within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, AyurMa offers more than just spa treatments—it offers an ethos. Guests are welcomed by a multidisciplinary team of Ayurvedic doctors, yoga therapists, and naturopaths, who work together to design bespoke wellness journeys.
What sets AyurMa apart is its eco-integrative approach. From sustainably harvested herbs to therapies aligned with nature’s rhythms, every detail is consciously curated. The PraMā diagnostic experience—a mix of body scans, pulse reading, and mobility tests—ensures that every session is rooted in precision.
With offerings like sunrise yoga, emotional detox, and sound healing, AyurMa goes beyond physical wellbeing. It becomes a space to listen—to the body, to the planet, and to ancient wisdom.
Island Spa at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa
A short dhoni ride away from the main resort lies the Island Spa, a sanctuary surrounded entirely by the sea. Built on its own tiny island, this space invites guests to disconnect from the world and reconnect with the elements.
Therapies here draw on the ocean’s intelligence—crystal salt scrubs, seaweed rituals, and even massages choreographed to the natural tides. Overwater pavilions open to the breeze and sky create an immersive atmosphere, where wellness is felt through all five senses.
The spa’s signature Night Spa experience—a starlit treatment beneath the open sky—is both a ceremony and a memory. Practices like ice bath therapy and antigravity yoga add to its repertoire of conscious, slow-living rituals.
A Wellness Shift from India to the Islands
Wellness, once a luxury, is now a necessity. Indians are embracing a new paradigm—one where healing is not an escape but a return: to the self, to balance, and to a life of intention.
With AyurMa and the Island Spa, Four Seasons Resorts Maldives isn’t just part of the wellness travel wave—it’s leading it. These aren’t just holidays. They are journeys back to wholeness.
Because sometimes, the most powerful kind of luxury… is simply the time and space to begin again.
This Raksha Bandhan, Bharat Vedica – A Patel Venture – reimagines sibling love with a gift rooted in wellness, tradition, and thoughtful indulgence. The brand has unveiled its limited-edition Rakhi Hamper, a beautifully curated blend of Vedic-inspired luxury and Indian ritual purity, made for the modern conscious consumer.
The hamper brings together some of Bharat Vedica’s signature offerings, A2 Gir Cow Ghee, Gulkand-infused honey, jaggery powder, an organic handcrafted rakhi, and a jute bag of artisanal chocolates made in small batches using Ayurvedic principles.
“Raksha Bandhan is more than just a festive occasion, it’s a moment to honour our roots and share a token of protection and care. Our Rakhi Hamper reflects this sentiment by offering purity and provenance in every element,” shared Arvind Patel, MD, Bharat Vedica – A Patel Venture.
The hampers are available exclusively on BharatVedica.com. In a market increasingly drawn to mindful and ethical gifting, Bharat Vedica taps into a growing movement, luxury that feels good and does good.
