About the retreat

Join Miriam, Negeen and the Oru team for a sunshine filled winter retreat in Sri Lanka! Sri Lankan food, culture and community values have influenced Oru Space greatly, and we’re so excited to be taking you on an adventure to this incredible country. This week-long retreat will be an amazing opportunity to practice lots of healing, nourishing and revitalising yoga with our teachers Miriam and Negeen, whilst making new connections, exploring a new country, eating delicious nutritious food and getting time to yourself to relax and restore. On top of this, we’ll be escaping the depths of the UK winter where the weather in Sri Lanka is expected to be 28-30 degrees!

Each day will start and end with longer yoga practices including dynamic flow, power yoga, soothing yin and restorative yoga, yoga nidra, free movement and expression, meditation, journaling and more. All levels of experience are welcome, however we recommend that you have a minimum of 6 months experience of going to classes semi-regularly, so that you can get the most out of the retreat. Where you’ll stay and excursions Welikande Estate is an eco-conscious and sustainable Yoga retreat centre in the heart of Sri Lanka, The Knuckle Mountains. Perched on the top of the mountain, overlooking the surrounding valleys and Victoria Lake, offering acres of gardens with a yoga shala and meditation studio, a Spa center, a swimming pool, and mountain view accommodations. There are lots of options for local experiences, from swimming in waterfalls, learning how to make a Sri Lankan curry with a sweet couple down in Heeloya Valley (and of course eat this for lunch), hiking surrounded by paddy fields and tea plantations high on the Knuckles Mountain range with views as far as the horizon goes, and cultural trips to nearby temples and towns. All activities are optional, if you’d rather relax by the pool or enjoy walks in the local area then you are more than welcome to!

Activities will be paid for as an additional expense on top of your retreat payment.

What’s included:

7 nights accommodation at Welikande Estate in a room of your choice Daily yoga classes 2 additional workshops through the week 3 vegetarian meals a day including local Sri Lankan delicacies Teas, coffee, juices throughout the day

    • They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss
    • We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".  
    • Thanks for the invite, although most people will be at work or at school. It's a Monday morning...
