Journey to your inner child
This retreat was created because I myself experienced deep wounds and traumas in my childhood. I faced the pain and the injuries of my emotional body. Through this, it could be healed. Transformed pain releases an incredible energy potential, as the stagnation in the energy field is dissolved.
Like almost every human being, Dharshana also experienced many injuries and traumas, which he has resolved and is now free from. This makes it possible for us to hold you lovingly in your process and to help you transform your wounds/ your pain.
Through our collaboration, the healed masculine and feminine energy connect. This accelerates and deepens your healing process, which enables you to encounter your inner child. To be able to feel and experience it again makes you happy and free.
It is an arrival within yourself – to live yourself, to love yourself and to recognize that YOU ARE LIGHT that shines into the world. You can feel and live your vitality again, you look again with the eyes of an amazed child.
We have made the decision to offer two constellations because it is such an important topic.
- In the first constellation – right at the beginning of the stay – we look at what your relationship with your inner child is like and which qualities it needs so that it is connected with you, in order to be happy and full of expectation towards life.
- In the second constellation we look at how far the healing has already taken place or whether something more is still needed. However, any other topic can also be chosen.

Testimonials
Christine and Darshana from Shamadi Yoga Retreat in Bentota have found a shared path since the beginning of 2026 and complement each other in a truly wonderful way.
With her physical, mental, and spiritual abilities, Christine reshaped me mentally, emotionally, and physically during my 17-day stay. I was especially impressed by her ability to recognize and transform old patterns from the earliest stages of development—even from time in the womb—in order to release inner burdens. This process of transformation was a deeply exciting and meaningful challenge for me.
Her highly professional Lomi Lomi massage allowed my soul to truly relax and gave me a profound feeling of happiness and lightness. Her work with family constellations also helped me tremendously. Through this, I made great progress in understanding my own behavioral patterns, reorganizing them, and better recognizing in the future which topics repeatedly trigger me.
Dear Christine, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for welcoming me so warmly and supporting me in your beautiful environment.
Dear Darshana, your morning and evening yoga sessions truly inspired me. After more than two weeks of daily practice, so much changed in my body. I found a deeper connection to myself and was even able to master exercises that had previously seemed impossible to me.
Meditation was my greatest challenge. As someone who can hardly sit still for two seconds, you managed to guide me to a place of inner calm where I could truly see a small light at the end of the tunnel.
Every second evening, we practiced chakra cleaning. This method of releasing blockages with your spiritual abilities and a singing bowl was especially fascinating and powerful for me. It is incredible what I was able to experience during these 17 days. With you, you are never
just a number—you are supported holistically, personally, and with great heart. Thanks to the small group size of only 4–7 participants, a family-like yet protected space is created. Within this environment, I experienced a transformation in my life structure that I would never want
to miss.
Every day, we enjoyed three Ayurvedic meals made with fresh vegetables, lovingly prepared and wonderfully varied. Even after a week, there were always new culinary highlights.
Unfortunately, I was no longer able to take part in the Ayurvedic cooking course.
The massages every second day were another absolute highlight. Samita truly has healing hands—his massages felt like an activation of my cells and skin. On the last day, I also treated myself to a steam bath in a historic steam box, which was a very special experience.
I am extremely happy that I made this decision.
Christine and Darshana are also incredibly flexible and respond individually to the needs of each participant. The program also included a raft boat trip through the mangroves, a visit to the famous Sri Lankan rainforest, and fire cooking. All these experiences made this time unforgettable for me.
I cannot thank you enough for this sensational retreat.
Sending my warmest regards to Bentota, Sri Lanka.
P.S.: I could write so much more—but what I experienced there is simply unique.
