Welcome to your Soulshine Retreats!

Soulshine Retreats

Come as you are. Leave changed.

A Soulshine Retreat is more than just a break from daily life — it’s a conscious pause.
A deep experience that doesn’t just relax you, but gently transforms you from within.

Here, you’re allowed to let go.
To recharge. To step into a world where everything revolves around you, your well-being, and your inner connection.

It’s a space to step off the mental to-do list and drop back into your body, into nature, into the now.
A time where you don’t have to care for others — only for yourself. Where you’re not expected to perform or produce, but simply to be.

A journey back to self through inner
& outer adventures.

Only a few intentionally curated retreats each year.

A journey to this special place leaves a mark. Sri Lanka touches the soul – through its nature, its sacred sites, its simplicity. And through its people, whom I lovingly call the Smiling Nation.

RETREAT YOURSELF

Our retreats are a mix of guided experiences and spacious freedom. Nothing is mandatory — everything is an invitation.

Move slow. Breathe deep.
Choose what feels good
— this time is yours.

  • “I knew I’d enjoy the retreat — yoga and breathwork are things I love. But this experience exceeded all expectations. It was magical in a way that reconnected me to myself — not just mentally, but physically and emotionally. I became aware of how much blocked energy and emotion we carry… and the beauty of letting it all go. Fear, shame, blame — I learned to release it, gently. It felt powerful to be open and vulnerable, with myself and others. To face my shadows, connect deeply, and realise I’m not alone in my struggles. Lara’s warmth is palpable — her presence makes you feel safe, seen, and held. I received so many beautiful insights, and I’m deeply grateful.”

    Elizabeth from UK

  • “My time with Lara was deeply nourishing — a journey filled with intimacy, vibrant peace, and wisdom. Lara holds space with such grounded, gentle leadership, speaking with the grace of a songbird and moving with soulful intention. She created a safe environment where each of us felt free to explore our inner truths, in the comfort of her care. I witnessed beautiful transformations unfold in each person by the end of our time together. Even in just a few days, we built a bond of genuine trust and mutual support. I found realignment, a return to my own light and playfulness, and a profound sense of sisterhood. I am deeply grateful for this experience and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone ready to connect more authentically with themselves and others.”

    Milena from Spain

  • “I met Lara when I lived in Ericeira, and went to one of her yoga classes. Immediately I was blown away by her energy and enthusiasm and after a couple weeks practicing with her, I knew I would join one of her retreats sooner or later. And so it was: in June 2025 I went into my first week long retreat, Beyond the surface, hosted by Lara and Bjorn. It’s hard to put in words the transformation I went through there, but it went above my expectations! Lara is one of a kind human being and person. She guides you in the most natural and warming way, inviting you to connect with your body and emotions without holding on into any expectations. My dear Lara, thanks for sharing your light and gifts with the world - you are a gem!”
