SRI LANKA OFF SCRIPT 2026
FOR WOMEN WRITING THEIR NEXT CHAPTER
SRI LANKA OFF SCRIPT
A women’s retreat in Sri Lanka for women over 40
Sri Lanka Offscript is for you if you’re ready for something more — more connection, more presence and more space to be yourself.
This is more than a holiday. It’s an invitation to step out of routine, slow down and reconnect with what really matters.
Many women arrive feeling stretched thin, burnt out or simply unsure of what comes next. They leave feeling reconnected, more confident, grounded — and reenergised for life going forward.
WHAT IS OFFSCRIPT?
Offscript is a 7-night women’s retreat in Sri Lanka that weaves together:
Meaningful connection
Movement and yoga
Adventure and play
Culture and travel
Rest and reflection
All held in a safe, welcoming space where you can move at your own pace and show up exactly as you are.
This is not about fixing yourself, achieving more, or becoming someone new. It’s about reconnecting with who you already are — and feeling confident stepping into what comes next.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR
Offscript is for you if:
You’re a woman over 40 in a season of transition or change
You desirea deeper connection with other women
You want adventure without pressure or performance
You’re open to reflection, growth, laughter and play
You want to feel more confident, grounded and alive
You do not need to:
Be fit or flexible
Have done yoga or surfed before
Be brave, outgoing or “spiritual”
Know exactly what your next chapter looks like
You just need to feel the quiet pull that says: this might be for me.
WHO THIS RETREAT IS NOT FOR
Offscript may not be the right fit if you’re looking for:
A traditional “Yoga” retreat
A bootcamp style retreat with strict guidelines
A luxury resort holiday that is disconnected from the outside world
A “fix yourself” experience
A fast-paced, highly structured schedule
This is a retreat where connection comes before performance and confidence grows through belonging.

What People Are Saying
“I had an absolutely incredible week and can’t recommend it highly enough. We juggle so many roles back home and the retreat was a place to peel back, unravel and find yourself. Chrissy took us on so many adventures. Surfing was amazing as that’s my passion but she caters for everyone, even if you have never surfed before. The week was action packed but we could bow out at any time. The restaurants were incredible and we went to so many amazing places. One of my highlights was connecting with like minded women and discovering myself a little so I can take snippets back.”
— Lisa (Aus)“This is the last day of the retreat and it has been the highlight of my year. I am very blessed to be here… I feel calm, happy and have so much love to take home with me. I’ve made new friends which is something that you just don’t do at home… make 11 friends all at once! I would definitely recommend this retreat to the women in my life. I have a lot of girlfriends who would adore doing this… to take time for themselves. This is the first retreat I have ever been on and I have so much to tell them. Thank you.”
— Rochelle (NZ)“My week was amazing. It was the best experience. Chrissy did a fantastic job organising the week and giving us opportunities that we otherwise would not have had. My highlight was trying so many new things. The surfing was amazing, as was swimming with the turtles and hanging out with an amazing group of women. I also found out a bit more about myself. I will definitely go on another retreat with Chrissy.”

BEFORE THE RETREAT - CONNECTION BEGINS
Once your $800 deposit is paid, your place is secured. You can then choose to pay gradually over time or settle the remainder two months before we depart.
Around 7- 8 weeks before travel, we’ll gather at Driftwood Studio in Mt Eliza (or via Zoom if you can’t make it in person) for our first circle. This is where you’ll meet the women you’ll be travelling with, ask questions and get all the practical details like visa requirements, vaccinations and what to pack.
More importantly, it breaks the ice.
Many women come solo — often at the edge of their comfort zone — and this casual, supportive catch-up makes everything feel easier. The magic actually starts here. 🙌
GETTING READY
There’s nothing specific you need to prepare for — simply show up as you are. If you’re curious about surfing or other physical activities, you’re welcome to build some strength beforehand, but it’s absolutely not required.
ARRIVAL + TRANSFERS
We recommend flying into Colombo on 30 October (or earlier) and staying near the airport overnight. We can help with accommodation suggestions. On 31 October you’ll have the option to catch the scenic train down south (approx 4 hours) with luggage safely making its way down in a minibus or you can opt out of this part of the adventure and jump in a car which will take you south to our boutique resort in Kabalana (approx. 2.5 hours).
Return transfers back to Colombo on 7 May will align with the group, and we’ll confirm timing during our pre-trip catch-up. If you’d like help with flights or bookings, just reach out — we’ve got you. Above is a rough itinerary so you can get a feel for what's on offer but the activities may happen on different days.
Sri Lanka is 5 1/2 hours behind Melbourne Australia (AEST) so 9am in Sri Lanka is 2.30pm back home.
WHAT TO EXPECT - A WEEK OFF SCRIPT
This retreat is designed to feel both grounding and expansive. EVERYTHING is optional — you choose your own pace.
From the moment you’re greeted at the resort to your final airport drop-off, you’ll feel looked after, supported and free to express what you need.
On arrival you’ll settle into your room, refresh with a swim or explore the grounds, then join us for a welcome lunch and our first circle — a gentle way to connect, exhale and better get to know the women sharing this unforgettable experience with you.
We hold a flexible itinerary where each day is set the night before…based on energy, mood and the natural rhythm of the group. You can join everything, or nothing. Rest is celebrated here too.
SURFING (OPTIONAL BUT JOYFULLY ENCOURAGED)
Just a short tuk tuk ride away is a sandy-bottom beach ideal for beginners. We usually go at daybreak when the ocean is calm and the light is soft and golden.
Our trusted surf guides ensure you feel safe, supported and able to catch waves — even if it’s on your belly at first! Many women who arrive nervous end up absolutely loving it and surprising themselves.
If surfing isn’t your thing, choose from other activities, enjoy the beach or relax by the pool with a book.
YOGA AND MOVEMENT
Daily movement is offered in a way that honours your body and your energy. It may be:
a morning flow to awaken the body
stretch + strength before surfing
a mobility session to release fascia
visualisation practices woven throughout the week
Everything is invitational, never forced.
DIGITAL DETOX (ENCOURAGED, NOT COMPULSORY)
There is WiFi at the resort, however we gently encourage you to unplug. Even reducing screen time to once a day creates a profound reset. Past guests say this alone made them feel like they’d been away for a month.
WHERE WE STAY
Our boutique resort in Kabalana features 12 stylish bungalows with AC, private bathrooms and modern amenities. It’s intimate, lush and designed for slow island living.
Features include:
large outdoor pool
yoga shala
restaurant + bar
sun terrace + gardens
walking distance to Kabalana beach
We may share the space with a handful of other guests, but the experience remains deeply personal.
FOOD + DRINKS
We eat well here — both for nourishment and pleasure.
Breakfast is enjoyed on site each morning and daily lunches or dinners take us to new local spots, so you get a true Sri Lankan food journey. Expect everything from fresh local seafood and Ayurvedic cooking experiences to unforgettable fine dining on the hilltop.
Alcohol is welcome in mindful moderation or not at all — whatever balance looks like for you.
If you’re craving connection, confidence, adventure… and a sense of belonging.
