You will need to depart on 12 February in order to arrive at the retreat destination on 13 February. Please note we have allocated a buffer day/ rest day the first day of the retreat 13th September.

Return Flight

On the final day, the retreat will officially finish at 10:00 AM. We recommend booking your return flight for the afternoon or evening to allow enough time for transfers and check-out. (Unless you are comfortable missing the final practice/session.)

Direct Flights

Direct flights from London to Colombo are available with:

SriLankan Airlines

Some suggested flights can be found here.

Group airport pick up from Colombo airport to Hiriketiya and return transfer is included. It takes around 3 hours to the venue. We will organise group transfers from the airport at set times on arrival day. You may need to wait a short period so we can group people together. If you prefer to make your own way to the venue, you are welcome to do so at your own cost.

If you are planning to arrive before 13 February or leave after 20 February, we would be happy to help you arrange additional accommodation.

Non-Refundable Payments

Exceptions

In exceptional or unforeseen circumstances, any adjustments, credits, or transfers remain entirely at the organiser’s discretion and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Spot Exchange Policy:

Any transfer or exchange of your retreat spot to another participant may only take place with prior consultation and written approval from the organiser to ensure the quality and integrity of the retreat experience.

The original participant remains responsible for any outstanding payments until the replacement participant has fully completed the transfer process.

Retreat Cancellation by Organiser:

In the rare event that the retreat cannot take place due to circumstances beyond the organiser’s control — including but not limited to travel restrictions, pandemics, natural disasters, political instability, or force majeure events — the organiser reserves the right to postpone, modify, or cancel the retreat.
In such circumstances:
- No cash refunds will be guaranteed
- Any payments made may be transferred as credit toward a future retreat
- Any credit issued will take into account non-recoverable costs already incurred

The organiser is not responsible for participant expenses outside the retreat package, including flights, travel costs, insurance, or personal expenses.
