Details of this retreat
Island Awakening – October 2025, Ahangama, Sri Lanka
A soulful escape to reconnect with your most alive, embodied self.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember who you are beneath the noise.
Set along the tropical coastline of southern Sri Lanka, Island Awakening is a 7-day wellness retreat designed to help you land fully in your body, restore your energy, and reconnect with your truth — through nature, movement, and community.
Our days begin with grounding meditation, strength-based movement, and nourishing meals made with love. You’ll experience dynamic vinyasa and restorative yin yoga, ice baths to reset your nervous system, powerful breathwork journeys and a group surfing lesson. We’ll hike to nearby waterfalls, share stories over wholesome local cuisine, and immerse ourselves in the slower rhythm of the island.
There’s space to both soften and strengthen — to be held, and to awaken. From Ayurvedic consultations and sound healing under the stars, to meaningful workshops and quiet moments by the sea, this retreat is your full-body exhale from burnout and a return to what’s real.
Whether you're seeking clarity, reconnection, or a renewed sense of purpose, Island Awakening offers a transformative experience that meets you where you are — and gently moves you forward.
Come as you are. Leave feeling restored, inspired, and deeply alive.
