Our Story
We have seen over the history of mankind accelerate commerce at the cost of nature’s well-being. A new era is dawning with community commerce consciousness. Unlearning to change this lifestyle will need a shift in mindset imbibing the learnings from our ancient knowledge system & connecting to nature Consciousness. We have many transformative programs such as indigenous festivals, retreats, artisanal workshops, culinary classes and entrepreneurship workshops to help you find what suits you the most.

VISION
A focus on Indigenous Wisdom for the well-being of people and the planet.
Indigenous People have lived for thousands of years in harmony with the land, where deep spiritual connections to the land impact overall health and wellbeing. Indofiesta founders strongly believe that it’s time to listen to the wisdom of Indigenous people and forge a sustainable future for people and planet health. From an Indigenous lens, healing incorporates more than the physical recovery; physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing exists through learning, which occurs along the healing journey. This healing journey has no definite beginning or end, and as we begin to move away from pathologizing healing to a strength-based healing process, the focus shifts to relationships—relationships with self, community, more than human, and the land. We must acknowledge the coexistence of learning during the healing journey. Building healing capacity through learning elucidates the understanding of the past, the needs of the present, and lays foundations for the future to work towards restoring integrity and prompting balanced care.
MISSION
Our Idea is to create the infrastructure of a self-discovery village where we work with Himalayan Shamans and pay respect to the five elements; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space.
Through Shamans we communicate with nature and the spirit realm, to guide the human realm and sustain the balance between the dimensions. The importance of shamans as keepers of sacred natural sites and shamanism as the way to keep the human realm, the realm of nature and the realm of spirit and ancestors interconnected and imbued in human consciousness. There are thousands of shamans in the Himalayan region, all have undergone the bawal and are now well integrated in the society. The people in this region emphasize the fact that their area is the abode of the divinities and as a result they call it as devbhumi – the land of gods. The gods themselves are the archetype personalities, males, females, children, agriculturists, cattle grazers, and flutists. The plethora of divinities is culturally developed in relation to the needs and requirements of the people and shamanism is one area where the psychologically disturbed people get therapeutic help and rehabilitation. There is thus a need to systematically examine the psychotherapeutic potential in the shamanism of the Himalayas and identify the significant elements. The Himalayan shamanism has the potential to contribute to both of these areas.
