Practical details.

Everything you need to know before saying yes: dates, place, what is and isn’t included.

Dates

Thursday evening, August 6 through Sunday evening, August 9, 2026. We begin with dinner on Thursday and close after dinner on Sunday.

Location

Cassia Hill Villa, in the hills above Galle on Sri Lanka’s southern coast. The villa is roughly three hours by road from Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport. We can help arrange transport from the airport or from Galle.

What’s included

  • Three nights’ accommodation at Cassia Hill Villa
  • All meals (plant-based, prepared with care, nourishing without excess)
  • All guided sessions and facilitation
  • Materials

What’s not included

  • Flights to Sri Lanka
  • Airport transfers (can be arranged)
  • Travel insurance (recommended)
  • Visa fees (most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival or an ETA online)

Group size

Limited to six participants. This is intentional: small enough for genuine intimacy, large enough for the richness of different perspectives.

Cost

US$900 per person for a single room, or US$600 per person for a shared room. Both include accommodation, all meals, and the full experience from Thursday evening through Sunday evening. A sliding scale is available. We don’t want cost to be the reason you don’t come.

Extending your stay

If you’d like more time, you can stay an additional night at Cassia Hill on Sunday, August 9. This includes the Sunday-night accommodation and Monday breakfast, for an additional US$100. You can request this when you reserve your place, or any time before arrival.

What to bring

Comfortable clothing. A journal. An open heart. We’ll send a detailed packing list after booking.

Device-free

This is a device-free experience. You’ll be invited to leave your phone and laptop behind on arrival. Emergency contact information is provided for family members who may need to reach you.

Meals & dietary needs

All meals are plant-based: fresh, Sri Lankan-inspired, and thoughtfully prepared. If you have allergies or specific dietary requirements, let us know when booking and we’ll accommodate them.

Getting to Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka offers visa-on-arrival or Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for most nationalities. Colombo (CMB) is the main international airport. We recommend arriving in Sri Lanka on Thursday morning or earlier to allow time for travel to the villa.
