April. Settling in. Finding my feet. A voice that started as a whisper, growing in my heart. It said: you are home.

From the moment I arrived in Sri Lanka, I started to picture a life here. I arrived with no agenda, no return ticket. Just a desire to explore, practice yoga, and prioritise joy.

That said, I knew I was in the honeymoon phase. I wouldn’t allow myself to make any big decisions or grand proclamations about a future here.

Not every day was perfect. I fell ill and was forced to slow down and rest. But even then, the voice was there.

I completed two trainings. The first was an incredible 5-day Breathwork and Cold Exposure Facilitator Training at @barefootyogaschool. I know this phrase gets thrown around a lot, but the experience was life-changing. Not least because of the people I shared it with. Thank you @breathewithadam and @jessicajonesyoga for sharing your knowledge, perspectives, and kindness.

I then spent a week in Ahangama with @natalie_shortall. We celebrated Sinhalese New Year with @akiladsilva and @mahexhi_, chased sunsets with Dr @danvermeulen, and enjoyed a little staycation before returning home to Hiri.

I immediately jumped into the second training, Integrated Sound Healing, with the vivacious @_silenceandnoise_.  I’ve already shared what a moving experience it was reconnecting with sound in a way that feels so aligned with who and where I am.

I moved into my new cottage just in time for the arrival of @fultonodanielle. After 10 years on separate continents, we were finally reunited. Of all the gifts April offered, having Danny here is surely the greatest.

The rest of the month was spent teaching yoga, growing our community, returning to running, and finding our place in this little beach town.

By the end of April, it was clear. The whisper was now a shout I could no longer deny: this is where I want to be.

And so, dear friends, I’m excited to share that I’m giving Sri Lanka a real shot — at least for the next year.

Friends and loved ones in Europe, I miss you, of course. But the invitation is always there: come visit me in my new island home 🫶🌊
