With its tranquil landscapes, lush greenery, and timeless charm, Goa continues to be seen as a slice of paradise. This natural sanctuary, steeped in serenity, is the chosen home of Seven Doors to Heaven—a holistic wellness retreat that promises a profound inner reset through seven transformative pathways to peace, clarity, and balance. Founded by seasoned facilitators Geeta Ramakrishnan and Divya Malik, the retreat offers more than rest—it invites deep realignment of body, mind, and soul...
True wellness is more than good health - it is a deep alignment between the mind, body and emotions. When these elements move together in balance, life feels lighter, clearer and more connected. Holistic living is the art of nurturing every part of your being, restoring natural rhythms that modern life often disrupts. Real strength comes not from pushing harder, but from living in tune with your true self – mentally, physically and emotionally. “True healing can begin at Seven Doors to Heaven – a premium wellness retreat,” boast the founders – Geeta Ramakrishnan and Divya Malik.
The journey within
The core structure of the program remains the same for everyone, as it is rooted in timeless principles of healing and self-awareness that apply across age groups. The programmes are open to participants from the age of 16 onwards. Seven Doors to Heaven is a seven-day immersive retreat designed to help participants reconnect with their inner selves. The offerings range from a 5-night/4-day format to a deeper 8-night experience, with shorter 3-day and 1-day versions tailored for corporate groups or individuals short on time. No matter the duration, the retreat is rooted in ancient Indian wisdom blended seamlessly with modern neuroscience and therapeutic techniques.
Participants engage in a spectrum of integrative practices—yoga therapy, breath-work, mudra healing, subconscious mind reprogramming, mindfulness training, and coaching for emotional clarity. These tools work synergistically to dissolve mental clutter, relieve stress, and spark meaningful transformation. “The structure remains consistent because the fundamentals of healing are universal,” explains Geeta. “But we customise based on each participant’s life stage, background, and readiness to receive.”
Why Goa?
Goa was chosen for its natural beauty, tranquillity, and spiritual energy – a location where nature itself becomes a co-facilitator in the healing process. Its serene beaches, warm climate, and vibrant cultural backdrop create the ideal environment for a deep reset, making participants feel both grounded and inspired.
“Our retreat is a rare space where you step away from daily noise and reconnect with your best self. Across seven days, through proven practices like mindfulness, breath-work, emotional balance, and conscious living – simple techniques one can take back and use for life. This is not a temporary escape. It is a return to inner clarity, strength, and the quiet confidence that carries you forward, long after the retreat ends,” claim the founders.
The founders believe Goa’s natural energy is a vital co-facilitator in their work. Its peaceful beaches, open skies, and cultural richness provide an environment where silence speaks, and nature heals. “This isn’t just a break from routine,” notes Divya. “It’s a conscious return—to stillness, to strength, to the self. The practices we offer are simple but powerful. And participants take them back into their lives—tools that ground and uplift long after the retreat ends.”
Seeds of awakening
The retreat is also a response to a growing need—especially among youth and professionals—for spaces that allow introspection and authentic self-connection. Divya, who frequently holds talks at various colleges, sees immense value in reaching young minds.
“I speak to spark something deeper—clarity, courage, empathy,” she says. “If even one student walks away feeling heard or awakened, it’s worth it. Because transforming individuals is how we begin to transform the collective.”
The synergy behind the vision
The retreat’s birth was as organic as its philosophy. Long, spirited conversations between the two founders—drawing from their diverse backgrounds in therapy, coaching, and human development—led to the natural formation of a seven-day framework. “It was like weaving a shared vision rather than building a business,” recalls Divya and Geeta.
Launched in 2024, Seven Doors to Heaven is their answer to a world brimming with high-functioning individuals silently battling burnout, emotional fatigue, and misalignment. “We wanted to create a space where people could pause, heal, and emerge stronger—not just for themselves, but for everyone they touch,” she adds.
Passing the torch
After years of one-on-one coaching—especially during and after the pandemic—Geeta felt called to reach more people. “Comfort can stall growth,” she admits. “This retreat is my way of sharing what I’ve gathered over decades. If even a few lives change, that ripple effect is the legacy I want to leave.” Her mantra? Pass it on.
A space for all
While specially curated for professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs navigating demanding lives, the retreat is open to all adults above 16 years of age. Whether you’re seeking calm, emotional healing, or a spiritual deepening, Seven Doors to Heaven offers a sacred pause—a chance to return to yourself.
Why holistic healing matters
In today’s over stimulated world, signs like fatigue, restlessness, anxiety, or emotional numbness are often ignored. But these subtle calls are signals from within. Holistic healing honours this by addressing not just symptoms, but root imbalances. By integrating body, mind, and soul, one begins to feel clearer, lighter, and more aligned.
More than a getaway
Divya encapsulates the essence of the retreat beautifully: “True transformation isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about returning to the clarity already within you. Our retreat helps people meet that self again.”
From mindful breathing to conscious eating, from ancient yogic tools to science-backed techniques like vagus nerve activation and subconscious reprogramming—each aspect is carefully curated for real, lasting renewal.
“This is why we’re here,” both founders say. “To open the seven doors that lead back to wholeness, meaning, and joy.”
