Abundance. Purpose. Peace.
A living space for wellbeing, learning, nature and conscious living in Tiruvannamalai, India.
DISCOVER YOUR FULL POTENTIAL WITH AUMSHAALA
Come as a guest. Leave as family, with an experience that stays with you and shapes you.
Aumshaala is not simply a place to stay or a wellness program to attend.
It invites you to experience a more connected, slower way of living.
Here, wellbeing extends beyond the yoga mat, and healing begins long before any programs start.
Days unfold around nature, nourishing food, movement, stillness, learning, and meaningful human connection.
- Guests may practice yoga and meditation,
- walk through the food forest,
- learn sustainable practices,
- share wholesome meals cooked with produce straight from the farm,
- buy value-added products from the farmers,
- stay in zero-cement structures,
- explore traditional knowledge,
- and experience Tiruvannamalai's unique culture.
The land itself is part of the healing experience.
Through regenerative agriculture, natural building, water-conscious practices, and the organic cultivation of food and medicinal plants, Aumshaala is being shaped as a living landscape where people and nature can flourish together.
Whether you come for a retreat, a workshop, a period of quiet reflection, or simply to experience a different rhythm of life, Aumshaala offers space to slow down, reconnect, and discover new possibilities for living well.
The Land
Aumshaala is being shaped by the land it stands upon.
At Aumshaala, nature is not something you visit.
It is part of how you live, learn and heal.
breathing eco-system
We are gradually transforming the land through food forests, water-conscious practices, natural building and the cultivation of plants that nourish both people and the surrounding ecosystem.
flow with nature
The intention is not to impose a finished landscape, but to listen to the land and allow it to evolve.
Every tree planted, pathway created, building constructed and crop cultivated forms part of a larger vision of ecological regeneration and conscious living.
harmony
Set within the rural landscape of Tiruvannamalai, the project is being developed as a living ecosystem where food, water, soil, plants, people and architecture work in relationship with one another.
Transform Your Life
Rooted in Tiruvannamalai
Aumshaala is situated in the ancient landscape of Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, at the foot of the sacred Arunachala.
For centuries, Arunachala has drawn seekers, practitioners, and travelers from across India and the world. The region carries a living tradition of yoga, meditation, devotion, simplicity, and contemplation, woven naturally into everyday life.
Yet Tiruvannamalai is more than a spiritual destination. It is a landscape of villages, farms, temples, crafts, food, forests and communities, where ancient traditions continue alongside contemporary life.
Feel free to access information at Aumshaala about its ancient history, geography, and cultural practices.
Aumshaala seeks to offer an experience rooted in this place, not separate from it.
Guests can discover the landscape, encounter local traditions, enjoy its food and culture, and experience the quiet presence of Arunachala.
Come to Aumshaala not simply to visit Tiruvannamalai, but to enhance your life with its experience.

Our vision is simple: To create a place that leaves people and the land more nourished than when they arrived.
We envision Aumshaala as a place where people and nature can flourish together.
A place where wellbeing is not separated from the food we eat, the land we live on, the communities we belong to, or the way we use our resources.
A place where traditional knowledge can meet contemporary understanding;
where people can come to learn, heal, create and share;
and where rural landscapes can become centers of opportunity, ecological regeneration and meaningful livelihoods.
Over time, Aumshaala will grow into a living center for wellness, sustainable living, learning, and community, welcoming people from India and around the world.
Aumshaala & Acwerk
Aumshaala is an initiative of Acwerk, a charitable organization working in education, employment, healthcare, environmental stewardship, and rural community development.
Aumshaala brings these values together through a living project where people can experience wellness, sustainable living, learning, nature, and community.
All proceeds from Aumshaala go to Acwerk’s charitable work, supporting the development of Aumshaala and creating opportunities that contribute to the long-term wellbeing, livelihoods, skills, and sustainable development of the surrounding rural community.
When you visit Aumshaala, you create lasting value for people and the land.
This is a place where sustainable development is not simply discussed, but explored through everyday practice.
The project is an ongoing journey, growing gradually with the support of people who share this vision.
