LIVE YOUR S.E.L.F.: RECONNECTION. Psychological retreat featuring coaching, breathwork, yoga, and meditation

Our LIVE YOUR S.E.L.F. retreats are all about connecting deeply with yourself—for a life full of meaning, energy, love, and joy.
At our special RECONNECTION retreat in Sri Lanka, we invite you to reconnect with what truly matters: your body, your soul, your inner compass, and deep awareness.

Our retreat location in the interior of Sri Lanka is characterized by pristine tranquility and deep grounding. Ulpotha ranks among the world’s most award-winning retreats and, with its unique, clear energy, supports you in reconnecting with yourself. Nestled in unspoiled nature, far from sensory overload and the fast pace of the outside world, this creates a space that gently guides you back to your roots and your essence.

Here, you are free to slow down. To become clearer. To become more authentic.

At this magical place, our scientifically grounded psychological work combines with conscious simplification and a process of “becoming still”—both externally and internally—an experience that brings you back into lasting contact with yourself.
Who am I really?
What is truly important to me?
Where do I want to take my life?

It’s not about having more, but about having less—about letting go of distractions and rediscovering inner clarity, depth, and purpose.

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 fresh.

Our Approach

OpenYourWorld Retreats are projects close to our hearts. Exclusive – Psychological – Innovative.
As experienced psychological coaches and psychotherapists (cognitive-behavioral and systemic) based in Heidelberg, we’ve developed a format that combines scientific foundations, personal connection, creative vitality, and unconventional methods in extraordinary locations.
Each retreat is tailor-made—for you, your issues, and your current life situation.
After an in-depth preliminary consultation, we design YOUR individual retreat.

Discretion and mindfulness are a given for us: We are bound by confidentiality and require all other participants to sign a confidentiality agreement as well.
To give you the greatest possible privacy and space for yourself, single occupancy of the bungalows is standard.
