Yes and most men do come solo.

This experience is designed as a Rite of Passage. That means separation from your usual environment, distractions, and relationships even if you’ve travelled to Sri Lanka with someone else.

Whether you come alone or with a friend who’s also attending, you’ll be fully immersed in the men’s container. If you're travelling with a partner or family, please don’t plan to visit or reconnect during the week.
This retreat is meant to be a break from your world so you can come back changed.

The space is safe, supported, and intentionally built to hold you through that transformation. You’ll leave not just connected to others but more connected to yourself.

This isn’t about age, it’s about timing.

Most of us never had a real Rite of Passage. We were expected to just figure it out as we went. But manhood doesn’t arrive with age. It arrives with intention through challenge, reflection, and crossing a line within yourself.

Whether you’re 25 or well into your 50s, if you feel the pull, it means something in you knows: you’re ready.

The men who come aren’t all the same age, background, or lifestyle.
What connects them is this:
They’re done pretending everything’s fine.
They’re ready to face what’s real and to become the man they were meant to be.

The retreat itself is a fixed 7-day process and every part matters.

This is a complete Rite of Passage, designed to unfold from beginning to end. Arriving late or leaving early disrupts the container for you and for the other men.

That said, we encourage you to enjoy more of Sri Lanka before or after the retreat. Travel, explore, relax but once the retreat begins, it’s all in.

If you're coming, come fully. That’s the commitment.

No. This retreat is for men only, and all participants must be 18 or older.

We don’t allow children on-site during the retreat. The work we do requires full presence, focus, and shared commitment from every man attending.

If you’re considering coming with a friend, brother, or another man over 18—they’re welcome to join by booking their own spot

It’s not religious and it’s not based on any belief system.

This retreat is rooted in the ancient culture of Rites of Passage. For thousands of years, men have stepped away from their everyday lives to reflect, be challenged, and return changed. That’s what this is.

There are spiritual elements in the process like meditation, Angampora, and ceremony but you don’t need to believe in anything to take part.

All that’s required is a willingness to grow.

Some parts of the retreat are flexible—others are not.

Certain sessions, like group challenges, story work, and key rites of passage moments, are essential and require full participation. Others, like breath work or solo practices, are encouraged but optional depending on your energy and needs.

You’ll receive a clear itinerary on arrival so you know what to expect.

We don’t waste time—but we don’t force it either.

Yes we organise a private retreat bus that picks up all guests from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) in Colombo on the first day of the retreat and drops everyone back after it ends.

This group transfer is included in your booking.

The journey to the retreat centre takes around 3 to 3.5 hours, depending on traffic.

Pickup will be scheduled for the morning of March 8th, with the return drop-off at the airport in the late afternoon or evening of March 14th.
Exact pickup times will be confirmed closer to the date.

If you’re arriving earlier, staying on after the retreat, or prefer more flexibility, we can connect you with trusted private drivers at your own cost.
Thank you for understanding that private transfers are not included in the retreat price.

Once your spot is confirmed, we’ll send you everything you need to plan your travel with ease.

All payments are final and non-refundable.

The Better Husband Retreat requires major upfront commitments to the venue, chef, and facilitation team. Because of this, once payment is made, your spot is locked and cannot be refunded under any circumstance.

If you can no longer attend, you may transfer your spot to another man (pending approval for group fit) or apply your payment toward a future retreat.

In the unlikely event the retreat is cancelled by the organiser, a full refund or credit will be issued.
