Sri Lanka Retreat Recap
Surf, dance, fun & unforgettable connections with people – April 2022
"I had never experienced a connection like this with people."
"I really thought I would find peace in solitude, but I found it among people. All the activities we did were exceptional; they helped me open up. I think that when we dance with somebody, we create a connection that is beyond words. We don't need to talk, we don't need to look at each other—the energy that is created speaks for itself."
- Pati
"Such a great company of amazing, marvelous people."
"I have a feeling of love and brotherhood/sisterhood between all of us, and I will keep this feeling inside my heart and bring it back with me to France. I was in such a difficult situation in my life, searching for many answers. I was looking for inner peace, and I found so much more here—I have found a family."
- Marina
"It was like we were alone in the world; there was no outside world."
"I really liked the people in this retreat; I truly think they were the most magical thing about it. I believe we all had a really deep connection with one another. I feel so happy because I found another family here and friends for life, even though it has only been a week. We are in a magical place, but the people here made it even more magical and unique."
- Kenza
"Since the beginning, it felt like a family, like a safe space."
"It felt like a safe space, so I felt like there was a lot of respect. Everybody could say what they wanted, and everybody could cry whenever they wanted. I think, for me, that's the most important thing — that everybody is connected and feels safe."
- Martijn
"From the first day, everyone made me feel like part of the group"
"Well, I came here to film, record, and take some photos, but it was incredible for me because, from the first day, everyone made me feel like part of the group. They were always encouraging me to dance with them or join in the activities. I really didn't expect to feel such a range of emotions."
- Alex
"I truly feel richer than I did before coming here."
"I really enjoyed the communion with nature, the little noises in the jungle, the clear sky without a single cloud, and the stars at night. I met so many strong and interesting people, very resilient. Everyone was open-minded, and it was so reassuring to share this moment with them. I truly feel richer than I did before coming here."
