Who We Are

Empowering Lives Through Mindfulness and Inner Peace

Vimansa Meditation Centre

Our Intention

Our Meditation and Retreat Centre is in the village of Balapitiya, a very beautiful area in the southern province. We have started this centre to fulfil the need of tourists from many countries who come to this area and felt the lack of such a meditation and physical wellness centre.

We believe that a person whose body and mind are in perfect balance will have a very easy, steady and a happy life.

It is our aim to show the way to him or her who believes, explores, and inquires. It is our objective to give him or her self-understanding without being prejudiced by any ideology or positivism. It is intended to serve as a guide for you to understand how to maintain balance of the mind and the body with teaching, discussions, and practical activities.

How Will We Achieve This?

Vimansa Meditation Centre should be thought of as an educational Centre for meditative arts. We create a retreat style environment suitable to meditative practices, and our facility offers accommodation, hospitality, safety and structure.

We are a non-religious organization and do not promote any philosophy over another. As a “wellness” centre, we work to provide a space of peace, where a variety of wholesome experiences and services can be offered.

Long and short term guests can join guided meditation sessions, extended retreat programs, and will be provided options to participate in “like practices” on an everyday basis. “Like practices” are systems intended for development of human health including both mental and physical modalities.

Systems such as Yoga, Reiki, Ayurveda and Acupuncture are but a few examples. By building cooperative relationships with skilled practitioners of differing methodologies and inviting them to utilize the space provided, guests gain exposure and opportunity to receive their services in a forum benefitting both teacher and student.

What Is Our Greatest Love

At our Vimansa Meditation Centre our greatest love is nourished by the passion to uplift all beings to be healthy and content.

Our reasoning relies on the premise that through the development of the individual will follow a conscious citizenry that reinvests in its community. As a tree must first mature before it can give fruit, so does the individual develop their awareness before benefiting the world.

Therefore, Vimansa Meditation Centre strives to be the fertile soil for the growth of the healthy human.

Our History

“It is a blessing to be in the company of good friends.” It is lucky to have such people in our life.

 

My dear friend Mr. Asanka Gayan Wickramasinghe, and his mother Mrs. Lilian Wickramasinghe, have beautifully renovated their cherished old house, “Siri Niwasa Walawwa” and handed it over to me on 31st January 2021 in memory of Mr. Piyasena Wickramasinghe, the father and husband of those mentioned.

 

On 7th February 2021, we opened the place under the name “Vimansa Meditation and Wellness Centre” for dedicating towards mental and physical well-being.
