Visitors transform wave patterns and coastal sounds into sketches, writing, or music.

Goa has introduced Coastal Mindful Art Retreats, workshops where participants translate ocean movements and sounds into creative outputs such as art, music, and writing. According to Hindustan Times, facilitators provide materials, guided prompts, and safe observation points along the shore.

Participants report relaxation, creativity, and mindfulness. Critics note distractions from tourists, but organizers emphasize wellness, artistic engagement, and tourism enrichment. Future expansions include collaborative exhibitions, seasonal workshops, and group projects inspired by coastal soundscapes.
