Coconuts + Barefoot (vol.2)

Coconuts + Barefoot (vol.2) is a seven-night wellness retreat at Soul House in Ahangama, on the south coast of Sri Lanka near Galle. It is led by Cristian Wealthhood and Cata Prodan, and it suits people who want a week that mixes movement, time outdoors, a little adventure and very good food, in good company and with a view.

What to Expect

The week is built around nature, movement and shared meals rather than a rigid programme. Mornings begin with workouts and yoga led by Cata Prodan, a daily rhythm that gives the days a physical anchor before the rest of the day opens up.

From there, the retreat offers a mix of activities: surf, snorkelling, ice baths and day trips, along with more besides. It is a wellness retreat with an active, outdoor character, where yoga sits alongside the ocean and the landscape instead of being the only thing on the agenda.

Evenings are for eating together. Dinners are fresh Asian-Mediterranean dishes prepared by a local chef, and the organizers describe the week as one of good company and breathtaking views throughout.

Your Hosts

Cristian Wealthhood co-leads the retreat with Cata Prodan, and the two shape the week together as hosts of the Coconuts + Barefoot series. This is the second edition, following vol.1, which runs with the same hosts and the same format.

Cata Prodan leads the daily morning workouts and yoga, so movement and practice are part of every day of the stay.

The Setting

The retreat takes place at Soul House in Ahangama, a coastal town in the Galle district of Sri Lanka's south. Soul House is a retreat venue with a fully equipped yoga shala, and its kitchen is known for nourishing, Ayurvedic-inspired meals. For this retreat, dinners are cooked by a local chef in an Asian-Mediterranean style.

The south coast setting is what makes the surfing, snorkelling and day trips possible, and it gives the week its relaxed, barefoot feel.

Before You Go

The retreat covers seven nights. Morning workouts and yoga, surf, snorkelling, ice baths, day trips and the evening dinners are all part of the described programme. Come ready to move, spend time in the water and share meals with a small community of fellow guests.
