Green Peace Inn
Green Peace Inn is surrounded by tropical jungles, a beautiful coastline, and warmhearted people. The ocean is only a two-minute walk away, and their rooftop is the perfect viewpoint for breathtaking sunsets.
Much more than just a retreat center, Green Peace Inn Retreats’ passion is to create a home from home, welcoming yogis, travelers, and creative thinkers from around the globe to share in a feeling of well-being, community, and delicious plant-based food.
Their yoga shala can be used for practices of all kinds, personal time for yourself, or as a space to hang out and chat with other guests. Their vision is to create a place where people from all over the world come together, to celebrate life; a place that feels like home.
We have shared rooms and private rooms.
Program
Green Peace Inn Retreats will teach you how to let them go in love and to reconnect with your real power. You will take back 100% responsibility for your own life and meet your true self. The first step to a happy and self-determined life.
Do you have the call for a change?
Daily, you will practice breathwork, yoga, mantras, and affirmations to deepen the healing process in yourselves. Massages, healthy food that's tasty, and an amazingly supportive group will help you to let go even more.
Your breath will be your guide through this journey! Discover yourself in the miraculous south of Sri Lanka. This Island is a magic place with beautiful green nature to find inner peace, to strengthen your body with yoga, and clear your mind with breathwork.
Breathwork can be described as a portal and door to your internal and external worlds. In only one session you can give space, expansion, and opportunity for shifts, movement, insights, change, and the chance to come back to your bodies that hold you so dearly and work non-stop so that you may exist here and now.
Your breath will be your guide through this journey!
Discover yourself in the miraculous south coast of Sri Lanka. This island is a magic place with beautiful green nature to find inner peace, strengthen your body with yoga, and clear your mind and body with breathwork.
Sri Lanka is the home of Ayurveda, one of the oldest healing systems, which believes wellness depends on a balance between mind, body, and spirit. Green Peace Inn Retreats will build this balance up during the week and give you the space you need to develop it. They will nourish you with healthy vegan plant-based food, all grown locally, and if you like, receive Ayurvedic treatments.
