Vana Social extends this way of thinking beyond the retreat. It is not a presentation of services, but an invitation to experience how different elements come together over time. Each moment prepares for the next, with intention but without rigidity.
Six Senses Vana brings its’Signature Vana Social to Ahmedabad, offering a closer introduction to how wellness is experienced at the retreat. Designed as a space for conversation and participation, the gathering invites guests to engage with Vana’s approach in a way that feels open, personal and organic.
Hosted in partnership with All 4 Season, the event takes place at 079 Stories, a boutique art gallery in the city. The setting reflects a shared sensibility. At Vana, art is a form of expression and part of everyday life. It offers a way to notice, to express, and sometimes to understand what does not immediately take shape in words.
“Art has always held a quiet place at Vana,” says Jaspreet Singh, General Manager, Six Senses Vana. “It allows for expression without expectation. Much like our approach to well-being, it is not about performance or outcome, but about giving people the space to engage with themselves in a way that feels natural.
For this gathering, we have brought together elements that reflect that thinking. Yoga as a practice of movement and breath, Acupuncture from Traditional Chinese Medicine, and food that feels familiar yet attentive. Each one supports the other. Together, they offer a way to understand the body better, without overcomplicating the experience.”
The Ahmedabad edition unfolds across two parts.
An evening gathering on April 3 beginning with meditation, followed by time sharedover glimpses of Vana cuisine and open conversation. Practitioners, experts, and chefs remain engaged throughout, allowing guests to experience, ask questions, and explore at their own pace.
The following morning, April 4 beginning with yoga and continues into mindful nourishment and informal exchanges. Elements such as acupuncture are introduced in a way that reflects how they are approached at Vana, not as isolated treatments, but as part of a wider, integrated rhythm.
“At Vana, we see these practices as part of the same conversation,” says Chef Rajesh Sharma, Six Senses Vana. “Food is not separate from how the body responds to Ayurveda treatments, Yoga or Acupuncture. We cook in a way that supports what an individual needs in that moment. Simple, attentive, and in rhythm with everything else that is happening.”
Yoga and acupuncture are offered as complementary practices. One works through movement, breath, and awareness. The other supports the body through targeted points and internal balance. Together, they help the body respond, release, and settle over time.
“The idea is not to do more,” adds Jaspreet Singh. “It is to do what is appropriate, at the right time, with the right attention. That is where people begin to feel the difference.”
Ahmedabad has long been an important community for Vana, with many guests traveling to the Retreat over the years. Vana Social creates an opportunity to bring a part of that experience closer, while remaining grounded in the same values of care, attention, and personal pace.
The gathering is curated and hosted with All 4 Season, a long-standing travel partner, bringing together a shared understanding of thoughtful journeys and meaningful connections.
