Slowing Down - A Jungle Retreat in Sri Lanka
10- 17 Oct 2025
🌿 A Yoga & Wellness Experience in the Heart of the Jungle.
In a culture of urgency, stillness is radical.
This retreat is your invitation to slow down, unplug, take care of yourself and return to what’s essential.
Join us for a deeply nourishing yoga and wellness retreat set in the lush jungle of Sri Lanka. Designed to restore your nervous system, rekindle your connection to Self, and fill your cup again. This retreat is a sacred pause—a time to step away from noise and move gently inward.
🧘♀️ What You'll Experience
Daily Yoga, Restorative Movement and Reflective circles
Ground your day with breath-led practices designed to balance your body, calm your mind, and meet you where you are. Classes are open to all levels, with a focus on presence, not performance. Your evening practice will either be around restoring energy back into your body, or help you get to know yourself better.
Time for Deep Rest
This retreat isn’t packed with back-to-back events. Instead, we honor spaciousness. Expect long afternoons to be held in community, nap, read (that book you've been putting off for so long), paint, journal, wander, or simply be. You’ll have room to decompress—without guilt.
Restorative Nature Immersion
Surrounded by tropical trees, birdsong, and open skies, you’ll be gently invited into nature’s slower rhythm. Here, the jungle doesn’t rush—and neither will we.
Nourishing Food, Mindful Eating
Meals are designed to support restoration: fresh, seasonal, and cooked with care. Communal dining becomes a daily ritual of connection and joy.
Supportive Community
This is a retreat, not a performance. Come as you are. Whether you're craving solitude, gentle conversation, or deep connection—you’ll find a welcoming space to land.

🌊 Explore, Wander, Connect**
While the heart of this retreat is rest and renewal, Sri Lanka’s southern coast offers moments of magic for those who wish to explore gently. These optional activities invite you to deepen your connection to this vibrant land—through nature, culture, and quiet adventure.
🐋 Whale Watching in Mirissa
Just off the coast of Mirissa, a deep oceanic trench draws some of the world’s most magnificent creatures—blue whales. Join a local boat tour at sunrise and witness these gentle giants, along with sperm whales, Bryde’s whales, and playful pods of dolphins.
🐢 Turtle Hatchery Visit
In nearby Habaraduwa, the Sea Turtle Hatchery has protected and released over a million turtles since 1986. Visit to learn about their conservation efforts, meet recovering turtles, and maybe even join a beach clean as part of their monthly care work.
🛕 Sacred Temples
The landscape here is dotted with centuries-old white stupas and Buddhist temples. One of the most beautiful is Kataluwa Purwarama—quietly nestled inland and filled with intricate frescoes, colonial-era stories, and one of the island’s oldest printing presses.
🍃 Tea Plantation Tour
Step into the world of Ceylon tea with a visit to the Handunugoda Tea Estate near Koggala. Walk the fields, tour the factory, and enjoy a tasting of their world-renowned white tea—served in some of the finest hotels and tea salons across the globe.
🏄♀️ Surf the South Coast
Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned surfer, this coastline offers gentle waves and more challenging breaks alike. Weligama and Dewata are great for new surfers, while Kabalana Beach—just a short walk away—offers powerful, consistent waves.
🌿 Sinharaja Forest Walk
This UNESCO World Heritage rainforest is a treasure trove of biodiversity, home to 50% of Sri Lanka’s endemic wildlife. Take a guided hike with a naturalist and immerse yourself in birdsong, ancient trees, and the forest’s quiet, humid magic.
📖 Martin Wickramasinghe Museum
A beautiful tribute to one of Sri Lanka’s most beloved authors, this museum offers a glimpse into rural southern life through the lens of Wickramasinghe’s writings, photographs, and preserved home.
🛶 Koggala Lake Boat Trip
Early morning or sunset, a boat ride across Koggala Lake is deeply peaceful. Look out for rare birds, floating lotus flowers, and cinnamon island visits where you can witness the traditional peeling of fragrant cinnamon bark.
🏰 Galle Fort Walk
Step into centuries of layered history as you explore the cobbled streets and sea-swept ramparts of Galle Fort—a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with boutique shops, colonial architecture, and a harmonious blend of cultures and faiths.
🎣 Fishing with Locals
From November to May, the ocean is calm and rich with life. For those who enjoy fishing, trips can be arranged with local guides from Mirissa or Unawatuna, where marlin, tuna, snapper, and more await.
🤿 Diving & Snorkelling Adventures
Sri Lanka’s southern reefs and shipwrecks offer incredible underwater experiences. Both Mirissa and Unawatuna have dive centres that organize half-day and full-day trips, with the clearest waters from January to April.
