I ended up in Sri Lanka on a complete whim; heartbroken, halfway to India, not expecting anything. What I found stopped me in my tracks. Water temples that made me go quiet in the best way. Strangers who became kindred souls within hours. The island healed me in ways I’m still grateful for, and I’ am so excited to be going back.
In this episode I share that story: the messy, beautiful, unexpected truth of what happens when you show up somewhere broken and the place meets you exactly where you are.
Then I share what grew out of it: the Play Retreat. A 7 day, 6 night inner child retreat in Sri Lanka this November, designed for the woman who’s ready to feel lighter, freer, and more herself.
We’re talking a stunning private luxury villa in the lush hills of southern Sri Lanka, a private chef, daily yoga, surf lessons, a safari, tea plantation walks, jewellery making, inner child healing workshops and the kind of women’s connection that you genuinely don’t find everywhere.
This is for you if you’ve been holding it all together for a little too long. If you can’t remember the last time you did something just because it felt good. If there’s a version of you: lighter, more playful, more alive that’s been quietly waiting for permission to come back out.
She didn’t go anywhere. Sri Lanka will help you find her.
