Hey there, We are Mindful

The first retreat planners in Sri Lanka with a community impact

We have built retreats, wellness events and helped retreat hosts to create successful retreats in Sri Lanka. And we know how difficult - and overwhelming - the wellness industry can be.

We built Mindful Academy because we kept hearing the same for years. "I love teaching and would love to host wellness gatherings but it's impossible to do without support" And that became a constant feedback with most practitioners we met.

We are not just Retreat leaders - we are community builders. In Sri Lanka, we built Mindful Retreats slowly and intentionally because we wanted to prove that at its core, wellness gatherings can create real change for the world.

Best wellness leaders know; it is not just having the right tools or playbooks. It's about having the right people in your corner to build something meaningful with you.

  • Over 15 Retreats hosted with measured impact
  • 4+ years of helping retreat hosts to create successful retreats that keep people coming back
  • Creators of R.E.A.L gatherings method with proven results
  • Co-host of Ready for Launch podcast

Loved by practitioners & participants for 4+ years

From the newsletter to the commune to the R.E.A.L gathering method, Mindful Academy is where wellness practitioners learn the art of gathering without burnout, fake hype or hustle. They're shaping strategy, building personal brands and creating a crowd around their offerings - with the Mindful Academy by their side.

This journey reactivated my mission as a retreat leader — shifting me from 'sleep mode' into clarity, creativity, and possibility. Being part of a group again gave me strength to make decisions and shape a retreat that truly fits my vision.

For the first time, I don't feel rushed or pushed in collaborative work — instead, I feel held, supported, and able to gain clarity at my own pace. The community reminded me to always plan with a beginner's mind.

The Root Stage was eye-opening — it helped me dive deep into my 'why' and realize that my purpose was within me all along. This journey has been both inspiring and grounding.
