Sacred sun retreat
27 Jan - 1 Feb 2025
At Flow Ground, Sri Lanka
I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming Sacred Sun Retreat in the tropical beauty of Sri Lanka. After returning to this stunning island for the second time, I fell in love all over again with its vibrant culture, yoga & surf haven, delicious food, and abundant nature. I’m excited to take you to all my favorite spots and share the magic of this island with you. This 6-day immersion invites you to embrace the power of the sun and connect to your own nature. You’ll start the new year refreshed and inspired, making new memories as we gather under the transformative energy of a new moon on January 29th.
At the Sacred Sun Retreat, each morning begins with an extended solar vinyasa flow to greet the day, followed by a series of carefully curated activities designed to help you rediscover and strengthen your inner sun. We will explore the powerful synergy between the sun and water elements through yoga sessions on the beach, eye-gazing during sunset, cacao ceremony, nature walks and other refreshing activities that highlight the healing properties of both elements.
With love, Esther
