Maitri Sri Lanka Retreat

25th – 31st January 2027

Maliga Kanda Villa, Southern Sri Lanka

Imagine a place where no one demands your attention and nothing is asked of you...

Where you are able to soften into tropical days that begin with a quiet morning gazing over the canopy of the jungle with all the space you need to breathe, expand and loosen your grip.

Our retreat in Sri Lanka January 2027 is the place where we steadily release tension from the body and mind and come into real connection with other like-minded people.

We practise what it feels like to be ourselves again – unburdened, authentic, unhurried.

And we rebuild a relationship with life that feels more honest, more spacious and more yours.

This Retreat is For You If You’re…

Doing “fine” on the outside – but don’t feel fully here on the inside
High-functioning, capable and quietly tired of carrying the whole thing
Longing for more truth, more ease, more real connection
Ready to step out of roles – even briefly – and remember who you are beneath them
Craving warmth, laughter, nourishment and something that feels deeply human
Wanting tools for stress and overwhelm – but also space for aliveness, joy and desire

What We’ll Practise

We practise meeting ourselves with clarity and kindness. Across the retreat we’ll weave yoga, meditation, regulation practices, workshops, breathwork, laughter, embodiment and yoga nidra.

Off the mat is where the magic happens: adventures, deep rest, conversations, massages, naps, swimming and delicious food. And there will be long stretches where nothing is scheduled at all — because integration happens through quiet presence and space.

What Life Often Looks Like

Waking up already behind
Doing what’s needed, not what’s true
Carrying responsibility
Being productive, but not present
Living in your head – planning, managing, solving
Playing the role: the reliable one, the strong one, the one who keeps it together
Feeling connected to tasks… but slightly disconnected from yourself

What We Explore Instead

A nervous system that can settle – not only when life is easy
Presence that doesn’t require perfect conditions
A body that feels like a home, not a project
Clearer inner listening – what you need, what you feel, what matters
The ability to respond instead of react
A new relationship with rest as a skill
Connection without masks

The Place

Perched above the southern coast, Maliga Kanda sits high in the trees, a quiet hilltop sanctuary.

There’s space for everything – a private gym, massage room, library, workstation, TV room, games court and an infinity pool that stretches out over the jungle. And the house team are exceptional; warm and attentive.

There are six beautiful en-suite bedrooms and a bunk room. All cool, spacious and luxuriously appointed.

And then there’s the food; fresh, colourful, generous. Local flavours, garden ingredients and meals that are nourishing and delicious.

Maliga Kanda isn’t just a backdrop. It’s part of the medicine – the kind of place that helps you soften without even trying.

We’ll meet you there.

Come as you are. Tired or open, curious or cautious - there is space for all of you here. This is not a performance, it’s a return. To quiet. To connection. To calm - not as a holiday, but as a way of being.
