You're Successful.
So Why Do You Feel So Empty?
High performers don't burn out because they're weak. They burn out because no one taught them when to pause.
You've Tried Everything. And Nothing Worked.
Surface solutions can't fix systemic burnout. Here's what doesn't work.
Meditation Apps
You downloaded Calm and Headspace. You did the 10-minute sessions. But you felt... nothing. Because surface techniques can't fix systemic burnout.
Therapy Sessions
You talked. You processed. And you understood your patterns. But understanding doesn't equal transformation. You needed action, not analysis.
Boundary Setting
You said no. You delegated. And protected your calendar. But the emptiness remained. Because this isn't about doing less. It's about being different.
"I tried everything else first. Meditation, therapy, yoga, sabbaticals. I was still exhausted. Then I came to Pause and Arrive. Day 2, something shifted I didn't know could shift."
What Happens If You Keep Going?
The real cost of ignoring burnout. These aren't scare tactics. They're predictable outcomes.

Testimonials
Real voices. Real transformations.
"I’ve been to many resorts, but Viram isn’t one. It’s an experience, elegant yet grounded. The attention to detail, the guided reflections, and the morning walks in misty pine forests made it unforgettable. "
"Viram truly lives up to its name. 4 days here felt like stepping out of time, in the quiet hills, soulful meditations, and nourishing food helped me reconnect with myself. I left lighter, calmer, and full of gratitude. "
"Frankly, it’s not just about the hills or the stay. It’s about the energy of the place and the concept of Viram. I found stillness, deep conversations, and laughter with strangers who became friends. Viram reminded me what slowing down feels like. "
"I thought I needed a sabbatical. Turns out I needed 4 days of actually being honest with myself. I'm back at work, same job, completely different experience."
"The ROI is measurable. But what you can't measure? I sleep now. I'm present with my kids. I remember why I started this company. Worth every rupee."
"I've sent 3 colleagues since I went. Not because I'm evangelical, but because I watched them suffer the way I was suffering. And I know this works."

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before booking.
This is the objection we hear most from people who then become our most transformed clients. You don't have time to fix this. But you also don't have time for the alternative: months of therapy, years of medication, or the burnout that forces 6 months off. Past attendees say "I should have done this 2 years ago."
We integrate ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience. No dogma, no doctrine, no requirement to believe anything. The practices work whether you're atheist or devout. We respect all worldviews and focus on nervous system science.
Our attendees range from 28 to 58, though the average is 35-45. What matters isn't age, but stage of life. You need to be successful enough to recognize something is wrong, and self-aware enough to want to fix it.
Yes. We offer flexible payment options: Full upfront, 50/50 split, 3-month installments. Contact us for corporate volume discounts and team rates.
Most people we work with say this. "I'm functioning. I'm successful. I'm not broken." Exactly. You're not broken. You're exhausted. And that's enough. You don't need to hit rock bottom to deserve transformation.
Cancel 30+ days before retreat: Full refund. Cancel 14-30 days: 50% refund. Cancel within 14 days: No refund but you can transfer your spot. Life happens. We're flexible.
Yes. Team rates start at 8 people minimum. We also offer custom retreat dates and corporate-specific programming. Contact our corporate consultant for quotes.
Still have questions?
Get in TouchStill On The Fence?
We hear these three objections most. Here's the truth.
I Don't Have Time
We get it. You're busy. That's the problem. Four days now saves you months or years later. Every person who's said this came back and said: "I should have done this sooner."
You don't have time NOT to do this.
This Is Expensive
₹55,000 feels like a lot until you calculate the cost of staying burned out. One bad decision from brain fog costs more. One health crisis costs more. And one key relationship lost costs more.
Burnout is far more expensive.
I Can Do This Alone
Maybe. But you haven't yet, have you? Not because you're not capable. Because you can't see your patterns when you're inside them. You need the pause, the space, and the mirror.
Transformation requires perspective.
Limited Spaces. By Design.
We cap every retreat at 12 people. Intimacy and depth require it.

Why only 12 people? Because real transformation doesn't happen in crowds. It happens in circles small enough for everyone to be seen, heard, and held.
Here's What Happens Next
Book Clarity Call
15-minute conversation to see if this is right for you. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just honesty.
Get Accepted
We're selective. Not everyone is ready. If you are, we'll send you all the details and prep materials.
Transform
Four days that change everything. Then 60 days of integration support. Then a lifetime of clarity.
Why We Exist
Pause and Arrive was born from a simple observation: the most successful people are often the most exhausted. And no one is talking about it.
We're not therapists playing at wellness. We're not yoga teachers dabbling in business. We're people who've been where you are, who understand the unique hell of high-achieving burnout, and who've found a way through.
We combine ancient yogic practices with modern neuroscience, strategic business thinking with deep inner work, nature immersion with practical action planning.
