Aarya

Aarya is the reason Young Soultales exists – though she didn’t know it at the time. And you will find her at every Retreat.

On a Himalayan trek with her mother, surrounded by mountains far from schedules and screens, she asked: “Why do I feel so different from other kids? Is something wrong with me?”

Her mother didn’t have an answer – not because she didn’t care, but because no one had ever taught her how to talk about feelings.

That question became Young SoulTales. Every retreat exists so other children don’t have to wonder if they’re broken just because they feel deeply.

Now, Aarya ensures programs stay true to what children actually need and not what adults think they need. She’s here to remind everyone that the questions children ask are the most important ones, and they deserve real answers.
