What’s Included

October 8 - 18 2026 - Hiriketiya, Sri Lanka

Step into a week of movement, mindfulness, and adventure in the heart of Sri Lanka. Connect deeply with yourself through yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and cacao ceremony, explore ancient temples, surf and hike in nature, and nourish your body with vibrant plant-based meals, all while resting in a serene retreat space designed for presence and connection.

Two people are sitting on the floor in a room with natural light, playing musical instruments and singing. The person in front is sitting on a cushion with a microphone, while the person behind is seated on a bench playing a pan flute. There are singing bowls, small bottles, and a box on the floor, suggesting a musical or spiritual practice.
  • Yoga is an invitation to slow down, move with awareness, and reconnect with the body. Through mindful movement and breath, we create space for strength, ease, and presence.

  • A deeply restorative practice where conscious breath meets healing sound. Breathwork opens the body and releases tension, while sound vibrations support integration, calm the nervous system, and invite a profound sense of presence. Together, they create space for clarity, emotional release, and inner balance.

  • Cacao ceremony is a heart-opening ritual that invites presence, connection, and gentle reflection. Using ceremonial-grade cacao, we gather in intention to slow down, soften the body, and reconnect with ourselves and each other.

  • Step back in time and immerse yourself in the serenity of Sri Lanka’s 2,000+ year-old Buddha temples. Wander sacred grounds, witness centuries-old art and architecture, and feel the quiet wisdom that has been nurtured here for millennia. A journey of reflection, reverence, and connection to living history.

  • Step into adventure and reconnect with nature on our retreat. Explore lush trails on scenic hikes, catch waves and feel the ocean’s energy through surfing, and witness wildlife up close on safari journeys. Every day is a chance to move, explore, and awaken your senses in the beauty of Sri Lanka.

  • Savour vibrant, plant-based meals crafted to nourish your body and delight your senses. Each dish is prepared with fresh, wholesome ingredients, supporting energy, vitality, and mindful eating throughout your retreat experience. Daily breakfasts & smotohie, daily fruit platter & 3 main meals.

  • Stay at the charming Salt House, a serene retreat space in Sri Lanka. Relax by the pool, wander the lush little garden, enjoy fresh bites at the on-site café, and browse unique finds at the boutique clothing store. A perfect blend of comfort, style, and local character to complement your retreat experience. All rooms have aircon and a private bathroom.

  • Experience the rejuvenating power of contrast therapy with our guided sauna and ice bath sessions. Alternating between heat and cold helps stimulate circulation, boost energy, reduce muscle tension, and support mental clarity. This practice encourages deep relaxation, strengthens the nervous system, and promotes overall wellbeing — leaving you feeling revitalized, grounded, and fully present. No experience is needed, just a willingness to embrace the journey.

  • Join Rosie, a warm and talented Sri Lankan chef, as she guides you through the vibrant flavors and traditions of Sri Lanka. Learn hands-on how to create authentic dishes, explore exotic spices, and experience the heart of Sri Lankan cuisine in a fun and welcoming environment.

  • Your retreat includes one blissful massage, giving you a moment to unwind, release tension, and fully reconnect with your body amidst the beauty and serenity of your surroundings.
