Summary

Our LIVE YOUR S.E.L.F. retreats are all about connecting deeply with yourself—about living a life full of meaning, energy, love, and joy.

This special 2-week combination retreat in Sri Lanka is an exclusive offer with a 20% discount, inviting you to embark on an intense, multifaceted journey of self-discovery—supported by two unique locations and continuous, in-depth guidance. Both weeks can also be booked separately.

The first week in the tranquil interior leads you inward. In a protected, minimalist setting, space is created to let go, realign yourself, and reconnect with your inner core.

The second week by the sea opens this space once again. Our retreat location, with direct beach access, is situated on a pristine bay in southern Sri Lanka. The sound of the ocean, the vastness of the horizon, and the power of the elements will accompany you as you embody your new energy and bring it to life.

A thoughtfully designed transition day connects both phases—as an inner and outer journey from retreat back into life.

For us, it’s not about self-optimization, but about experiencing yourself as freer, more alive, and more connected—and anchoring exactly that in your life in a lasting way.

Who are you—beyond roles and expectations?
What emerges when you truly encounter yourself?
And how do you bring this clarity into a life in flow?

Like all OPEN YOUR WORLD RETREATS, this retreat is far more than a vacation—and far more than coaching or therapy.
It is a personal journey. Deep, loving, transformative—and always new.

What awaits you during these two weeks
- Individual psychological sessions with Dipl. Psych. Eva Senges and Verena Peipe, M.Sc. Psych.
- In-depth coaching and seminar sessions to strengthen your S.E.L.F. – with clarity, impact, and ease
- 9D Breathwork for intensive transformation processes
- Daily yoga and meditation – for balance, integration, and flow
- Week 1: Retreat, silence, reduction, and inner clarification
- Week 2: Opening, vitality, integration, and expression
- A thoughtfully designed transition day between both worlds
- Special locations in nature and by the sea that support you in your process
- Single occupancy of the bungalows for maximum privacy and seclusion

Our Approach
Open Your World Retreats are projects close to our hearts. Exclusive – psychologically grounded – innovative.

As experienced psychological coaches and psychotherapists (behavioral therapy and systemic) based in Heidelberg, we have developed a retreat format that combines scientific depth, personal guidance, creative vitality, and extraordinary locations.

Each retreat is individually tailored—for you, your issues, and your current life situation.
Following an in-depth preliminary consultation, we design your personal process within this journey.
Discretion and mindfulness are a given for us: We are bound by confidentiality and require all participants to sign a confidentiality agreement.
To provide you with maximum space for yourself, single occupancy of the bungalows is standard.

Why this combined retreat is so special
Many retreats offer either withdrawal or activation. This retreat consciously combines both, building on each other. This not only leads to important insights but also brings real, lasting changes to your life!

Catering

During your first week at Ulpotha, you’ll enjoy full board. We serve fresh, wholesome cuisine inspired by Ayurvedic principles and prepared with local ingredients from the surrounding area. You’ll be treated to three freshly prepared vegetarian meals a day, cooked with ingredients from our own gardens. The menu is complemented by fresh juices, herbal teas, and light afternoon snacks.
The dishes are light, nourishing, and full of flavor, characterized by aromatic spices, coconut, fresh vegetables, and traditional Sri Lankan recipes. Meals are usually enjoyed together in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, often outdoors.
Ayurvedic healing cuisine that strengthens both body and mind!

During the second week at Talalla Retreat, a hearty brunch and dinner are included. In the open-air restaurant, a buffet featuring both Ceylonese and internationally inspired dishes is available, catering to all tastes. Everything is freshly prepared—with plenty of vegetables and tropical fruits from our own garden, fish and seafood from local fishermen, and meat from nearby farmers.

sequence

Your retreat is something truly special. It is limited to a very small group of no more than 8 people to ensure that it can be tailored to your personal goals.
All activities are tailored to your needs and goals. For this reason, we reserve the right to adapt the program to your individual circumstances and personal needs. In any case, you can be sure that we will do everything possible to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your experience.

Before you register, we offer a free preliminary consultation where you can ask any questions you may have. Please also learn more about us on our websites and schedule a no-obligation, personal appointment.

At the start of the retreat, you will receive your personalized retreat plan.

Our days typically begin in the morning with yoga and meditation, followed by a healthy, delicious brunch. The rest of the day includes a well-balanced mix of individual and group sessions, excursions into the nature and culture of Sri Lanka, wellness treatments, and time just for you.
In the evening, we gather for dinner together and wind down the day in a relaxed atmosphere.

Arrival

We’re happy to assist with any questions you may have about getting here.
The nearest airport is Colombo; we can arrange transportation to and from the airport.
Transportation between our two retreat locations is, of course, included. On a specially scheduled transition day, we’ll travel together with a private driver from the interior of the country to the south coast of Sri Lanka.
