A uniquely crafted men's retreat in Sri Lanka

Why a special retreat for men,
And what is the difference between the retreats?

Over the last years, Martina and Alex have held over 55 retreats in Sri Lanka and many workshops and retreats throughout Europe. During these years, mostly women attended the retreats; on average, we would say 80% female and 20% male. Many of the males who came were the boyfriends of some guests. Somehow, it is not so popular for men to go to this kind of personal growth retreat. On the other hand, the men who came took a lot more home on average than the female participants because there were so many new fields to discover for them.

Over the years, observing the men in the retreats, Alex wanted to create a special version just for men because he could see what most men were struggling with, and at the same time, there was no space and room to give extra time and attention to these topics. So, he wanted to have a separate retreat where he could share his Breathwork, Meditation, Yoga, Tao and Tantra experience. Especially for men.

Men & Women
We are equal, and we are not the same.

We do have different bodies, and we do feel and see the world differently, but we are also equal and have the same rights. There was a big misunderstanding between being equal and being the same in the past. We are equal, but we are not the same, and this is very important to understand. We do have different hormone values and different sexual organs, and our minds work differently. This means we need different approaches to spiritual practice, meditation, yoga, and breathwork.
Many men don’t go to normal yoga classes because they feel shame because they are not as flexible as others in the room. But yoga is not about how flexible I am; yoga is so much more. It’s a way of living. It's the same with breathwork; it's not about how strong or how much I can breathe; there is so much more behind it and to discover.

Masculine & Feminine
We are not only one; each one of us is both.

It is important to understand that everyone is both. Men have a female site, and Women have a masculine site.
Each one of us has to bring it into balance. And balance is for every being unique.

This retreat is a safe space for men to explore breathwork, meditation, and yoga in greater depth.
At the same time, we merge these techniques with the teachings of Tao and Surfing and learn how they can help us in daily life.

Discover yourself on 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 surfing, and clear your mind & 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 & spirit.
