Celebrating the Divine Feminine Retreat in Sri Lanka

Do you feel called to create a deeper connection to your body, mind, heart and soul? Are you ready to step into your full creative potential and feminine power? Do you crave time for quiet reflection, rest and renewal?

If so, I invite you to join us for a week of yoga, dance, meditation and breathwork, along with sacred ceremony, healing practices and uplifting activities to transform your life and connect you with your true essence!

The intention of this retreat is to bring together like-minded women to share wisdom, reconnect with the body temple, restore inner peace, awaken the divine feminine within, and to welcome more love, beauty, creativity, joy and abundance into our lives.

During This Retreat We Will Explore:
  • Daily gentle or restorative yoga, meditation and pranayama
  • Sound healing and transformational breathwork journeys
  • Rituals to clear the old and invite the new into our lives
  • Cacao ceremony, fire and water purification ceremonies
  • Elemental dance, sacred movement and shakti dance circles
  • Divine feminine awakening and empowerment practices
  • Guided day trek to stunning natural environments where we’ll explore waterfalls and other wonders Mother Nature has to offer and visit to tea estate and temple tour
  • Journaling and plenty of time for relaxation and integration

“My experience at the ‘retreat’ has inspired me to give myself time to practice meditation and set ‘intentions’ daily, as well as increasing my yoga practice to: give me confidence to prepare for the impending changes in my life in a positive way; to try to be more accepting and worry less about situations I have no control over and to appreciate life and love.

“I was able to fully embrace the whole experience, because Mine made me feel at ease from our first meeting. I would certainly recommend ‘Celebrating the Divine Feminine Retreat’ and would say to anyone considering joining the retreat to go with an openness of mind, to enjoy the experience and have fun! I did.”

Location

Sri Lanka is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I’ve visited and have had the pleasure of facilitating a retreat in. Here, you’ll find a rich cultural heritage, warm-hearted people, incredible natural surroundings and deeply rooted spiritual traditions.

Our week together will be held within the sanctuary of Rukgala Retreat Center located in central Sri Lanka, not far from the city of Kandy- the country’s last royal capital.

It’s an idyllic refuge that lies on the shores of picturesque Victoria Lake near the foothills of the Knuckles Mountains. It’s a truly magical shala surrounded by tropical flora and the the soothing sounds of nature. Opportunities to explore are plenty, as within close proximity to Rukgala you’ll find ancient temples, shimmering waterfalls, lush green tea estates, terraced paddy fields and charming village communities. For more info about Rukgala click here.

Accommodation

Rukgala was conceived with a passion for this very beautiful and little known part of Sri Lanka.

It was designed to bring the feel of the outdoors in and includes spaces for gathering with friends, quiet reflection, relaxation and daydreaming. At the heart of the shala lies a swimming pool that boasts views of towering treetops and emerald green mountain peaks.

All guest rooms are light, bright and airy, designed with a modern twist on traditional Sri Lankan decor, and accented with subtle pops of color to give the spaces a tranquil, yet vibrant feel.

Cuisine

Rukgala’s cuisine is created to nourish you from the inside out.

They offer the most delicious and innovative food available in a remote location. The dishes focus on locally-sourced ingredients and menus that are built on a vegan foundation with vegetarian and ‘flexitarian’ options. Enjoy healing superfood elixirs, fresh fruit and vegetable juices, refreshing smoothies, gluten free bread, flavorful soups, healthy treats and more. You will be delighted from the very first bite.

“Celebrating the Divine Feminine Retreat’ gave me a chance to reflect, let go and grow. And to learn some things about self love. A week of incredible food, wonderful yoga sessions, spectacular nature and powerful self discovery.

“Mine is an incredibly gentle, warm, thought provoking and insightful teacher. She facilitates a variety of connected ceremonies from dance to self love, letting go, breathing exercises and deep meditation. And of course, yoga! She also has a wonderful way of bringing everyone together to share experiences and support one another.

“This isn’t just a yoga retreat, it’s a wonderful chance to escape, reflect and refresh. A chance to go deeper into your mind, body and soul and to really let go of anything holding you back, all the time thoughtfully guided by Mine. Go with open eyes, open ears and an open heart and you will be sure to discover something about yourself and grow from within. As well as meet some incredible women to share it all with! And the Sri Lanka retreat is set in one of the most beautiful settings you could imagine. Absolute escape!”

“The week in Sri Lanka was so blissful and felt like it was a holiday in clouds with no  boundaries or limits. It was truly an experience beyond my imagination. I returned from the retreat radiant, able to cope with everyday life with ease, deeply fulfilled and excited to journey forward.

“I truly loved and enjoyed all the sessions, mix of different practices and experiences Mine created for us, which was an open-hearted invitation to connect with our feminine essence, to let go and listen to our own hearts to allow ourselves for the journey to begin.

“The Divine Feminine Retreat is a precious gift to oneself, it is unique, vibrant and exciting, full of joy. I sure will come back and will bring a friend or sister with me to Mine’s next retreat.”

Getting to Sri Lanka ~ Fly into Colombo International Airport

Getting to Rukgala ~ I highly recommend taking a day or two to acclimatize and make your way to Rukgala via the train from Colombo to Kandy. If you’d prefer to come directly to the site and be collected by car, we can organize your travel and also recommend travel buddies when possible and places to stay if you have extra time.

This retreat will be an intimate experience.
All levels are welcome with so much love! No experience necessary.

Retreat dates and costs are TBA.

Virginia Bunker

“Mine’s yoga retreat in Bali incorporating elemental dance was a delight in September 2015. Friendly and well-organized, Mine is a gentle yet very powerful teacher; I have studied with her at different times for at least 10 years. I would recommend her to beginner and more advanced pupils alike. I really felt that I benefited from the retreat both physically, mentally and spiritually. Would love to join one of Mine’s retreats again soon — a ‘no-brainer’ decision!!”

~Virginia Bunker, English Language Teacher and Yoga Instructor, UK

Rachella Billam

“I attended the ‘Restore and Explore Yoga Retreat’ in Bali at a time when I had big transitions happening in my life. This was the perfect retreat to come back to my centre, to be nurtured by the lush surroundings of the tropical paradise and to be cared for deeply by Mine. She has a very intuitive style and knows exactly what is required by the group as well as each individual. Although this was a beautifully crafted yoga retreat, Mine brought in many other elements (dance, ceremonies, massages, day trips, gifts and more) making our experience absolutely special and wonderful. I felt completely nurtured throughout the entire retreat and left renewed, refreshed and ready to take the next big step in my life. Thank you Mine for a truly unforgettable retreat, I will be back for sure.”
