A Door to the Soul Retreat
Opening the door to the soul is deep inner work. Our day to day routines, as well as the glitter and sparkle of our material world, create many distractions moving us away from discovering who we truly are, which is why I have created an intimate and contemplative retreat experience in a soulful space of beauty.
Knock on the door of Etamba House and open your eyes to who you are, to a new way of being.
Etamba House
Etamba House presides over the paddy fields in Yatagala, Sri Lanka, a 15 minute tuk tuk drive from the beach life of Unawatuna.
Its white, symmetrical beauty instills instant calm, offering so many places to be still; comfy chairs on the verandah, lush green grass, rock seats under the Etamba tree, or a sun-bed lounger around the pool.
This soulful spacious house, with so many doors, welcomes in nature, from the cheeky peacocks to the cacophony of exotic birdsong. Its pure whiteness creates the perfect backdrop for the vibrant greenery & bright flower colours on display outside. The longer you stay, the more doors will open, and the subtleties of life will slowly move in.

One of the distinguishing features of your time here will be the time given to contemplation. There will be occasional contemplative circles where we come together and discuss. This allows you to listen, dropping all judgements or opinions, opening a door to a fresh take on reality.
