​Gentle Retreats

​With intention and purpose, travel can be a source of healing. Gentle Retreats offer experiences which encourage us to slow down our footsteps, open our hearts and engage meaningfully. Through forest bathing, we cultivate presence and a deeper relationship with nature, self and others.

​This is a regenerative travel experience. We avoid mass tourism and commercial activities to prevent further impact on areas with heavy footfall, to benefit local communities directly, and to ensure a genuine and pleasant experience.

​Retreat Overview

​Sri Lanka is one of the rare places where spirituality and respect for nature remain deeply rooted in both the land and its people. This will be a 5D4N trip curated to immerse you in the essence of Sri Lanka. Alongside forest bathing and sun bathing on the beach, you will engage in thoughtfully curated cultural activities that nurture the heart, encourage soulful living, and deepen your connection with the land.

​A 2D2N addition is available for an extraordinary meeting with the last living Indigenous tribe - the Vedda - at their ancestral land in Dambana, central Sri Lanka. We will spend a day with them to get a rare peek into their customs and traditional way of life with nature at heart.

​Inner Nature Exploration

​'A Voyage of the Heart' - as we experience the heart and soul of Sri Lanka, we will embark on a parallel journey to discover our own. The experience will include reflection circles, both in silence and in words, held gently in the embrace of nature.

What makes your heart beat?
What lights you up?
What does your heart desire?
What makes you feel alive?
What do you feel deeply for?

This voyage is personal and optional; you decide which layer you'd like to meet yourself at. You are safe with us.
