Step into a hidden green oasis in the heart of Chennai with City Farm Escape: Yoga, Art & Farm Retreat.

From the first rays of sunrise to a warm high-tea send-off, spend an entire day reconnecting with nature, creativity, and mindful living.

Begin with a rejuvenating sunrise yoga session under the open sky by a certified trainer, followed by a traditional South-Indian breakfast served on fresh banana leaves.

Express your creativity through a guided workshop on extraction of colours from natural sources, and get your hands in the soil while learning the basics of urban gardening and seed-bomb making.

A wholesome farm-to-table South-Indian lunch keeps the energy flowing, and an afternoon guided farm walk invites you to observe, sketch, and reflect.

We close the day with a serene community circle and high tea amidst the farm’s lush greenery—sharing experiences and celebrating the joy of slowing down.

Whether you’re a nature lover, an art enthusiast, or simply seeking a mindful break from city life, this curated retreat offers the perfect one-day escape.
