Yoga retreat in Sri Lanka / December 2019

23rd December- 1st January

We invite you to do something different this festive season and join us for our signature retreat in December. The retreat will be led by Sam Kankanamge, Founder and Director of the Sanctuary. A refreshing contrast to a typical busy festive season our retreats draws on everything that is special about this generous and spirited season so you can be giving the gift of good health and rest to yourself in a supportive and peaceful setting.

The retreat  will be supported by ceremony, nature walks and meditations. There will be plenty of opportunity during this retreat to evaluate the year and set intentions, for the next, with a clear head and heart. Ceremony and group work will celebrate the changes you feel as the holistic treatments and therapies positively influence your wellbeing. The transformations are witnessed by the group and will help you to align with your hopes and dreams as you enter a new year, feeling relaxed and re-connected to your body and self.

The gentle rhythm of the sanctuary is there to balance our often busy modern lives. You will create a connection with nature and all the wildlife surrounding the sanctuary, you will also connect with other guests whom you’ll share the journey with. Most of all this retreat allows a deeper connection to yourself.
