Shine Gopal
Founder of Spirit of the wild
Shine Gopal
In the aftermath of the pandemic, amid global uncertainty and reflection, Shine Gopal felt a deep calling toward nature, simplicity, and conscious living. From this inner shift emerged Spirit of the Wild & Conscious Community, located within IMark Valley – The Creators Village.
Conceived as a sanctuary beyond conventional retreats, Spirit of the Wild is a space for reconnection—with the nature, with crearivity, and with self. Rooted in minimalism, sustainability, and holistic well-being, it reimagines community as a living relationship between people and nature.
What began as a personal journey became an act of rewilding—of both land and spirit. Set in the serene landscapes of Attapadi, Kerala, Spirit of the Wild today stands as a living expression of conscious, regenerative living.
As part of IMark Valley, it invites creators, seekers, and changemakers to slow down, realign, and rediscover a more grounded way of being—where the wild within meets the wilderness around.
Shamli Menon
Co-Founder of the Spirit of Life Community and the Founder of Aranya – The Temple of Healing
Driven by a deep inner calling for meaning and transformation, Shamli Menon stepped away from a successful 15-year corporate career to embrace a life of travel, inner exploration, and healing. This conscious shift marked the beginning of a profound personal journey—one that reshaped her purpose and aligned her work with service and self-discovery.
She brings this lived wisdom and holistic expertise into the heart of the community, curating and hosting immersive retreats, healing festivals, and transformational gatherings. With over a decade of experience as a yoga therapist, energy healer, and spiritual guide, Shamli supports individuals in reconnecting with themselves through embodied practices, energy work, and nature-led healing.
Her work is grounded in compassion, presence, and deep listening—creating safe, nurturing spaces where people can heal, realign, and step into greater clarity, balance, and self-worth.
