Details

In this eight-day holistic Breathwork, Meditation & Yoga Retreat, we will give you the opportunity to explore your body and mind more deeply. We will share with you a range of techniques and insights to help you reconnect. Daily, we will practice breathwork, yoga and meditation to deepen the connection with ourselves. Every day we will share more and more theory and information about the mind, our emotions and the body. The goal is to give you a better understanding of yourself. You will receive many techniques that you can take home and practice on your own. An Ayurvedic massage and treatment, healthy & delicious plant-based food, and an amazingly supportive group will help you to go even deeper. We created a retreat where our guests gain a deeper understanding of why practising yoga, breathwork, or meditation is beneficial. Most people need to attend multi-month teacher-training courses to obtain this information. We created an 8-day retreat to share some of this information. Food and nutrition are very important to us during the retreat. That’s why we’ve created a unique menu that offers a new culinary experience each day.

Testimonials

info

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.

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.

This retreat is truly outstanding! Martina and Alex have created a unique retreat that is thougt through from A-Z and let‘s you go through an amazing and perhaps life changing process. Every moment they were there to support or answer questions and their authenticity and professionalism was always at the core center of their acting. The vegan food was probably the best I‘ve ever eaten in my life and the great variation of teas was truly inspiring. The whole facility as well as the rooms were always in perfect condition and the team really did an incredible job and was always friendly and helpful. It’s so sad that in the floods in Sri Lanka last week many people lost their lifes, but luckily we haven‘t been affected of it in this region at all, so it‘s really safe to go there. If I were you I wouldn‘t hesitate a second and book this unique retreat!

My stay at this retreat was truly a magical experience. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed into a space that is held with deep respect, care, and genuine knowledge. Alex and the entire team create an environment that feels both safe and inspiring, allowing you to fully relax, open up, and connect on a deeper level. What really stood out to me was the integrity and presence with which everything is offered. You can feel the experience behind the team—the way they guide, support, and hold space is something very special and not easy to find. Every detail is thoughtfully taken care of, and the atmosphere invites both inner exploration and meaningful connection. I leave this retreat feeling grateful, expanded, and deeply nourished. It is an experience I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for something authentic, transformative, and held with true heart. Thank you, Alex and the whole team, for creating such a beautiful space.

Most phenomenal breathwork retreat - I spent 8 days here at the start of Jan 2026. A highly-curated and specialised breathwork, yoga and meditation retreat, that surprisingly doubles as a culinary journey through healthy, sophisticated and refined vegan cuisine. As an omnivore, I did not know that vegan food could be this good - it was incredible and Alex and his team outdid themselves. The retreat accommodation is clean, well-kept and quite wonderfully comfortable and homely. A gem of an experience and space in Sri Lanka - not to mention the incredible transformational experience of the retreat work itself.

To be honest, there aren't enough words to describe the experience that I have been lucky enough to have at Green Peace Inn. All I can say is WOW - I am still feeling on cloud nine. Everything is so well thought out, perfectly - from the minute of arrival to the last goodbye. Even though I have had quite a bit of breathwork practice and I know my pranayamas, I honestly felt that the retreat has perfectly covered so many different ways to breathe and incorporate it into my daily life. Daily yoga (Yang in the morning, Yin in the evening), breathing workshops, meditations in the evening, and enough time in between to relax and integrate... It was nothing short of perfection. Alex and Martina were very knowledgeable yet so down to earth - I felt guided, supported, loved, taken care of, but not only like a student, but like a friend too. Thank you!!! Oh and don't get me started on the food. That was the most divine vegan cuisine I had the pleasure to experience. Every meal was a celebration of colours, fusions, flavours and so much love. Thank you guys for an incredible week that has elevated my soul.

Such a great experience. Everything is arranged perfectly, every little detail is thought of. From the moment you step in to the moment you leave (which was a bittersweet moment), the experience is amazing. The founders are really nice, they have walked the talk and they are highly involved with the participants... the whole staff is nice, polite and hard working. I have done a lot of meditation and breathwork before I stepped in, but I learned so much more and I was able to go deep into the work from day 1. I have built amazing connections as well and feel renewed, re-energized and inspired. Life changing stuff.

I always wanted to try out Breathwork. I didn't know what to expect, but it exceeded anything that I could have expected. Absolutely brilliant! During the retreat, amongst other things, energies worked a lot on my throat chakra. Since returning home, I started writing a book, something I had been afraid to do. It is no coincidence that I have found my voice. The afternoon at the Ayurvedic spa was also a highlight. Everything was absolutely wonderful: the accommodation, the teachers, the staff, the food, the view, the location and the fellow participants. I have never recommended a retreat more than this one. A must-do.

Claudia Frei, Switzerland

The retreat at Green peace inn has been life changing for me. The loving devotion they have put into this place is felt in every corner. It was like stepping into a bubble of love and nourishment in which I could fully surrender to the balanced retreat program. The peaceful atmosphere and resonating group coherence. The enriching breath work, yoga and meditation practises. And by far the most delicious food I have had during my trip. I truly did not wanted to leave, and so I came back :) I wish this experience for everyone whose heart is willing to rest in the soft tropical air, whose spirit longs for the ocean breeze to bring clarity, new perspectives and visions on their life. For all souls who wish to enrich their unique life experience with new colours, flavours.
