Move forward through Sri Lanka on one of the most scenic train rides in the world. The focus of this retreat will be to identify habits and thought patterns that do not serve our current selves, to shed worn out ideas that no longer fit us, and to open our minds and bodies to the present moment. It is in the present moment that we find an endless flow of guidance to move forward. What better way to practice this than on a train slowly winding its way through an undulating landscape covered in tropical greens backed by serene blue skies?
The journey will begin in Colombo where we will board a morning train to Kandy. We'll stay two nights in bold surroundings as we prepare our minds for the move ahead with meditation and yoga flows. We'll leave Kandy behind and begin the scenic train ride to Ella through lush landscapes, tea fields, and winding pathways. Here we will meditate as we physically move forward into the heart of Sri Lanka where mountains and nature awaits to restore our mind, body, and soul. We will end with three nights in the old Dutch city of, Galle, with time to explore, sunbathe by the sea, and celebrate our journey forward.
