Harmony in Kandy Retreat

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.”

Gibran Khalil Gibran

Kandy, Sri Lanka | November 29 - December 3rd

This winter, as our homelands faces unspeakable grief and loss, we invite you to take a compassionate pause with someone special. From November 29th to December 3rd, join us for the Harmony in Kandy, an experience not to escape, but to reflect, reconnect, and honor our shared humanity in the face of immense tragedy.

We come together, not in ignorance, but in solidarity with the pain and suffering of our brothers and sisters in Lebanon, Palestine, and beyond. This space is an opportunity to hold our grief, to find strength in our breath, and to process the sorrow that weighs so heavily on us.

Nestled in the peaceful mountains of Kandy, Sri Lanka, we’ll host guided yoga practices—pranayama, Yin, Hatha, Vinyasa—and meditation. We will ground ourselves in the present, attuning our bodies and minds to the pain of these times. The journey here is one of gentle healing, recognizing that our ability to take this time away is a great privilege. But with this privilege comes the responsibility to remain connected to the suffering of our lands and to carry that awareness into every practice, every breath.

Together, let us pause, breathe, and find solace in each other as we continue to honor the struggles of those who cannot retreat.
