Description
Green Peace Inn is an open and welcoming beachfront vegan retreat centre surrounded by nature and a beautiful coastline. Cosy spaces throughout the property invite you to relax and unwind. The centre is located in Weligama Bay, on a quiet stretch of beach, while the town centre is just three minutes away by tuk-tuk. We have two spacious yoga shalas. One is located on the first floor, where the morning yoga, meditation, and breathwork sessions take place. The other is on the rooftop, where we end the day with Yin yoga at sunset.
Since 2017, we have been facilitating a retreat that combines breathwork, meditation, and yoga. This week-long retreat includes a variety of practices that give you the opportunity to grow and learn more about yourself, your body, your emotions, and your mind. At the same time, we combine the program with a culinary fusion experience that takes you on a journey

What better reference is there than returning? This was my second 8-day retreat at the Greenpeace Inn in Sri Lanka — and counting two further retreats with Alex in Switzerland, it was actually my fourth retreat with him. And I can easily imagine going again. That alone says most of what I want to say. It’s a truly holistic retreat, held with deep experience, clarity and presence. Alex, who leads the retreats, holds the space with real skill and warmth — and the whole team carries that same spirit. You’re fully supported as you move through your own inner process, and gently guided to carry what you find back into daily life. Everything fits together: the practices, the place, the nourishing food, the people, and the careful container that makes real depth possible. It’s all part of one process — the morning and evening yoga, and the steady, attentive support between sessions. It’s extraordinary. The Greenpeace Inn itself is a wonderfully mindful, lovingly tended retreat space — and that care is embodied by everyone involved. And the work doesn’t end when the retreat ends. The inner work is your own, of course — but the tools you’re given are designed so you can keep using parts of them at home, in everyday life. There are also check-in emails along the way, and the team is still there afterwards whenever something comes up. A heartfelt thank you to Alex and the whole team for holding such a special space. Highly recommended.

I can recommend the 8-day retreat from the bottom of my heart. It was one of the best decisions of my life. The mix of learning and experience is really special, you get to explore many different practices, almost like building your own personal toolbox. I learned to feel and connect with myself in completely new ways. Even though I had already been exploring things like breathwork before, this experience allowed me to go much deeper. Alex has a wonderful way of connecting spirituality with real life and science, which makes everything feel both grounded and inspiring. The food is also absolutely amazing. I have honestly never had such delicious gluten-free vegan food before. The quality is outstanding and the variety is incredible. And the beautiful accommodation right by the ocean makes the whole experience even more special. Overall, it was worth every single cent.
