play - inner child Retreat
You forgot how to play, let’s fix that.
Play: A 7 day, 6 night retreat in Sri Lanka 8th – 14th November 2026.
This is for the woman who is ready to feel lighter, freer, and more yourself through fun, movement, play, and a little bit of magic.
Remember when you didn’t overthink everything?
When you’d spin in circles just because it felt good.
Dance in the kitchen.
Make something for no reason.
Say yes to fun without checking your calendar first.
Somewhere along the way, you swapped all of that for being responsible. For holding it together. For showing up for everyone else.
Let’s be honest… you’re tired. Not just sleepy tired… Soul tired, drained and depleted.
This is your invitation back.
This isn’t therapy. (But it kind of heals you anyway.)
We’re not going to sit in a circle and talk about our childhoods for six hours.
We’re going to move. We’re going to be silly. We’re going to make things, express things, shake things out of our bodies that we didn’t even know were stuck there.
Think of it as an adventure for the version of you that existed before the world told her to be serious, responsible and the good girl aaaalll the damn time.
She’s still in there. She’s just been waiting for permission.
PLAY
You never actually outgrew it.
Play isn’t childish… it’s how we come back to ourselves. Through activities, creativity, and movement that has no agenda, you’ll rediscover the part of you that’s curious, spontaneous, and free. The part that doesn’t need to get it right. The part that’s just… alive.
JOY
The kind you felt as a kid before joy needed a reason.
We create space for genuine, unfiltered joy the belly laughs, the unexpected moments, the feeling of being fully present without performing. You might be surprised how long it’s been since you felt it… and how quickly it comes back.
CONNECTION
With other women and with yourself.
There’s something that happens on retreat when women drop their guard at the same time. Real conversations. Real laughter. Real moments. You’ll leave with a sense of being truly seen by the women around you, and by the version of yourself you may have been missing.
to PLAY...
You used to be fun.
Not that you aren’t now but you remember a version of you that was lighter. Easier. The one who laughed without thinking about it, who was spontaneous, who didn’t carry quite so much. Somewhere between growing up and getting it together, she went a little quiet.
You feel it. Not always loudly. Just in the small moments.
When your partner wants to be playful and you can’t quite get there. When someone suggests something silly and your first instinct is to opt out. When you’re in a room full of people and still feel disconnected. When you can’t remember the last time you did something just because it felt good.
You’re not broken. You’re not too serious or too guarded or too anything.
You’re just a woman who grew up in a world that asked her to hold a lot and you did. You held it beautifully. But somewhere in all that holding, you lost a little of your lightness. A little of your play. A little of that girl who knew how to just be.
She didn’t go anywhere.
She’s been waiting, quietly, for someone to create a space safe enough for her to come back out. That’s what this retreat is.
A homecoming for the part of you that’s been waiting the longest.
Come play.
Retreat Location - SRI LANKA
A stunning private villa tucked into the lush hills of southern Sri Lanka sitting on a working tea and cinnamon smallholding, just minutes from the Indian Ocean coastline. It feels like the world slows down the moment you step through the gate. Like your body already knows it’s safe to let go here.
The villa itself is something out of a dream. Tall ceilings. Wide open verandahs made for lingering. Ceiling fans turning lazily overhead. Beautiful art and vintage finds.
Yes there’s a pool! An infinity pool that seems to spill right into the jungle canopy, with nothing but treetops and sky beyond it. You’ll float there and forget what day it is. Honestly, that’s the point.
The whole villa is ours. A private chef cooking nourishing meals. A team taking care of every detail so you don’t have to think about a single thing. Indoor and outdoor dining. Lush gardens to wander. Space, real space, to breathe, move, play, and just be.
Rated 4.94 stars across 200+ reviews and Sri Lanka Tourism Awards Finalist.
ready to PLAY?
Here’s what I know about you.
You clicked on this for a reason. Something in you recognised it the play, the freedom, the idea of a week where you don’t have to hold anything together. Where someone else makes the food and you just show up.
That pull you’re feeling? That’s not impulse. That’s your inner child tapping you on the shoulder.
She’s been waiting a while and Sri Lanka is calling.

Day 1 - Arrive
Today is for landing in the villa, in your body, in the company of women you’re about to feel like you’ve known forever.
There’s nothing to do and nowhere to be. The only intention today? Let yourself arrive: fully, completely, here.
Retreat begins 3pm in Galle.
Day 2 - soften
Something starts to loosen on day two. The to-do lists fade a little. The performing stops. We spend the afternoon on a gentle half-day tour soaking in the colour, culture and beauty of southern Sri Lanka at an unhurried pace. We will parcipiate in a traditional Sri Lankan cooking class, hands in spices, laughter echoing off the walls, nourishment in every sense of the word.
Day 3 - wild
We head to Udawalawe National Park one of Sri Lanka’s most breathtaking wildlife reserves.
Elephant herds crossing the plains. Water buffalo knee deep in still water. Crocodiles barely distinguishable from the riverbank. Eagles circling overhead. Udawalawe is home to one of the highest concentrations of wild elephants in Asia.
Day 4 - wonder
We slow back down but in the most magical way. A morning walking tour through lush tea plantations, mist still hanging in the hills, the kind of beauty that makes you go quiet inside.
We will also make jewellery. Something you made with your own two hands, surrounded by women you now call friends and soul sisters. To create just for the joy of it.
Day 5 - play
Surf lessons for every level, every body, every woman who has talked herself out of trying something new one too many times. You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be athletic. You just need to show up and be willing to be a little bit ridiculous.
There will be wipeouts. There will be screaming. There will be salt water in places you didn’t expect. Then there will be that moment where you catch it, where you stand up, where the ocean holds you and something in you goes yes. This. This is what being alive feels like.
Day 6 - GLOW
You can feel it now something has shifted. In your body, in your laugh, in the way you take up space.
Today we celebrate that. We move, we play one last time, we soak up every last drop of this place the pool, the gardens, the villa that held us so well.
Tonight is our closing dinner together. The kind of evening that becomes a memory you’ll carry for years. Go to bed tonight knowing you are not the same woman who arrived.
Day 7 - home
We gather one last time as a group. Not to wrap things up neatly because real transformation doesn’t tie up in a bow but to witness each other. There will be tears. There will be laughter. There will be that particular kind of bond that only exists between women who have really, truly connected with each other.
You’re lighter and happier. You found her that version of you that’s been quietly waiting. The one who plays. The one who moves. The one who takes up space without apologising for it. She’s not staying behind in Sri Lanka.
She’s coming home with you. We finish at 12pm in Galle.
Post Retreat - Personalised Care & Ongoing Development
My commitment to your personal growth extends far beyond the retreat experience, before and after.
You will have a 60 minute 1:1 life coaching session with me (online via Zoom or in person Sydney, Australia) where I will check in with how you are feeling after the retreat. This session will be personalised based on what you desire and I will customise your session to delve deeper into your personal goals, tackle challenges, and help you plan to keep the momentum going. I will also be able to share intuitive insights from a reading with you in addition to elements of human design.
We will also have 1 x 60-90 minute group check in via Zoom online after the retreat after 2-4 weeks to see how everyone is going and reconnect with one another.
Your growth doesn’t end; it evolves, and I’m here to accompany you every step of the way through the opportunity to continue working together through 1:1 or group coaching.

Questions and Answers
What will the weather be like?
Sri Lanka in November is lush, alive and gloriously tropical. Think moody skies giving way to golden afternoons, rain that passes quickly and leaves everything smelling like earth and flowers, and temperatures sitting comfortably around 27–29°C. The villa feels like a jungle sanctuary. The gardens are at their most vibrant. There’s something about being cocooned in a beautiful place with a group of incredible women while the rain patters on the verandah overhead that is unexpectedly, perfectly exactly the energy this retreat calls for. We’ll stay flexible with outdoor activities and work with whatever the weather brings us. Some of the most memorable moments happen when plans shift and something unexpected takes over.
I want to go but I feel nervous about the investment…
I hear you. Fully. I’ve sat in that exact same place (the fear, the scarcity, the voice saying is this really for me?) That’s exactly why I designed this retreat the way I did. When you leave, I want you to feel like you got so much more than you paid for. Like it was the most obvious yes you’ve ever said to yourself. No regrets. Just transformation.
This retreat is competitively priced for what it is: a private luxury villa, a personal chef, excursions, workshops, and ongoing coaching support before and after. You’d invest the same if not more for a three day retreat in Australia without half the inclusions.
I take your investment seriously. It is sacred to me. If you’ve made it this far and feel that pull in your gut that’s not an accident. Your intuition already knows. If you want to talk it through, DM me on Instagram or send me an email and we’ll jump on a free call. No pressure, no obligation. Just a conversation.
What about flights; what do I need to know?
Flights are not included and you’ll be flying into Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport. I recommend arriving the day before 7th Novemeber 2026 to give yourself time to settle, rest and arrive at the villa feeling human rather than frazzled. Most guests will fly into Colombo and transfer south to the Galle area with me; your airport transfer from Colombo is included. The retreat begins 3pm in the afternoon on Day 1 and wraps up around 12pm Midday on Day 7, so I’d suggest booking an evening departure or flying the following day to give yourself space to integrate before re-entering real life. Do note we are approximately a 3 hour drive from the airport and factor in you need to arrive 3 hours before an international departure. I’m happy to help you with flight suggestions; just reach out.
Message me and I’ll share my flight details from Sydney or suggest flights from where you are coming from.
Do you cater to dietary requirements?
Absolutely. Every body is different and your private in-villa chef will make sure yours is taken care of. Just let us know when you book and we’ll handle the rest. Nourishing your body is part of the experience; food here is made with love and intention.
Will there be free time to explore the area?
The retreat includes one half day cultural tour as a group a beautiful way to soak up the colour, history and magic of southern Sri Lanka together. Beyond that, the experience is centred at the villa which, once you’re there, you genuinely won’t want to leave. If you’d like to explore more of Sri Lanka before or after the retreat, I’d highly recommend it. I’m happy to help you put together an itinerary based on what calls to you; just ask.
How many women will be on the retreat?
A maximum of 10 women. Small, intimate and deeply intentional exactly as it should be.
Will there be free time for myself?
Yes always. At least a couple hours of free time is built into every single day. There is no pressure to participate in everything. This retreat is about listening to yourself, not performing for anyone. Rest when you need to rest. Float in the pool when your body calls for it. Connect when you want to connect. The women on this retreat are here for the same reasons you are community and connection alongside genuine time for self. Both are honoured equally here.
What if I’ve never been on a retreat before?
It would be the greatest honour to be your first. This retreat is designed for women at every stage of their journey whether you’re brand new to inner child work and personal growth or you’ve been doing the work for years. Nerves are completely normal and entirely welcome here. All emotions are. We connect as a group before we even arrive, and I’ll support you every step of the way before, during and after. You will not be navigating this alone.
Will I have 1:1 time with Phi?
Given how intimate the group is just 10 women you’ll naturally have personal moments and conversations with me throughout the week. And after the retreat, every woman receives a private 60 minute 1:1 coaching call with me to help you integrate everything that opened up, shifted and surprised you. The support doesn’t stop when you get on the plane home.
Can I come alone or bring someone I know?
Both are absolutely welcome. Solo women are the heart of this retreat you will not feel alone for a single second. If you’re coming with a friend, please note that everyone has their own room. This retreat is designed for individual experience, deep self-connection and personal integration. Separate bookings required for shared attendees.
What if I have more questions?
DM me on Instagram or send me an email and I’m happy to chat — including jumping on a free call with no obligations whatsoever. I want you to feel completely sure and excited before you say yes. Reach out anytime.
