About
At Ashram Sri Lanka, our tranquil retreat is more in-line with the Ashrams of the past. We offer simplicity. We offer a clean and peaceful space. Our Ashram is nestled in a beautiful environment, surrounded by nature in all its magnificence, with fields of greenery and flowers that envelop the senses. We share in nature’s space. We nurture our environment and show it compassion. We believe that our oneness with ourselves and our shared environment ultimately connects to the larger universe and beyond. A retreat with us will provide you with the time and space you need for introspection, reflection, contemplation and meditation. The ultimate aim of meditation is to seek freedom from the wheel of ‘sansara’ – the cycle of birth and death. Even though it is a difficult task, it can be obtained through effort and dedication. And if one aspires to achieve spiritual growth and its benefits through serious meditation Ashram Sir Lanka is the place for you.

In the middle of the jungle you have this special location of the ashram. The environment is magnificent, the rooms very simple and half open in nature. With lots of animals to see around. Sam is the host, who is happy to share his life insights with you. He also cookes the meals three times a day, with mainly ingredients from the ashram's garden. Very delicious mostly spicy rice and curry.
You should better stay away if: you don't like rice and curry, from healthy locally grown ingredients, you don't like ants in your room, or cats and dogs, or if you don't like living the simple life.
You should definitely go if you do like the things mentioned above.

This is home! The perfect place to switch off and relax completely. Sam is so welcoming from the second you step into the Ashram and it provides a space you can do as you wish; whether that is just chilling, meditation, yoga or walks in nature etc. Beautiful location, simple living, a friendly dog and delicious vegan food:)

Very relaxing place, beautiful nature, host is very warm and will go great lengths to look after you. So nice to be off the beaten tourist track too. A place to unwind and return to your roots. Everyone is family. You will feel a real sense of community here. And the food is amazing. Cannot recommend this place enough, great value for the price.

Had an amazing time. Initially booked for two weeks, but end up staying more than one month. When you start really experiencing the slow living and free life, it’s very hard to get out of that place :) I feel extremely grateful to have had that time just to be, to be present, to breathe, and to appreciate how wonderful simple life can be. I found home, very far from original home, and for sure I will always go back to this new home. Thank you Aya and never forget, LLW💙

I loved this place for the peace mostly because it's what I was looking for. Sam is a very welcoming personn who will teach you a lot if you take time to talk with him. Everything here is a question of taking your time and feel life. The atmosphere here is beautiful but has to be respected. It means: Switch of your phone, switch of you mind, appreciate nature, deep conversations and the beautiful meals.
I loved the rooms also, which are open air space and very original, but be aware that it's not 5 stars confort, so if you're looking for that, go to an other place :)

A small paradise in the jungle, quiet and peaceful.
Food is delicious ! Sam is a great cook and a very interesting person, he is very welcoming and will make you feel at home immediately.
The accommodation is basic but it's lovely to wake up with the sound of the birds in the early morning.
It's the perfect place to rest and take some time to reconnect with yourself. I had a great time there and I met very nice and interesting people.

Calm and pure nature. No luxury but a lot of heart and the feeling of being welcome. Time for yoga and meditation, but no tide schedules.

Hello,
I'm planning a one month trip to Sri Lanka and would like to discover meditation for one week at the begining of the trip.
I'm very interested in the ashram but I was wondering if you offer guided meditation and yoga. I've read there are no scheduled classes.
Does that mean it's only individual practice or is it possible to get advices and some guides practices for beginers?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Claire

Comment peut on réserver son séjour ? Quels sont les prix ? Quelles sont les conditions pour y résider une ou deux semaines en sachant que je voyage seule, Danielle

To come and stay in the ashram
you have to go to our web site and contact us
This is a non-profitable organization. We ask that you pay for your daily cost of living, we think that 10 US dollars per day is a reasonable amount to cover basic vegan food / accommodation / drinks / electricity / labor,
thanks
