 About The Nisala Foundation
 

The Nisala Foundation and Center for Energy and Consciousness Studies in Udadumbara, Kandy, Sri Lanka was established in 2013 by Acharin G. Wijenayake as a charitable trust.

Nisala is nestled midst lush greenery, paddy fields, and offers breathtaking views of the picturesque Knuckles mountain range. This surrounding is truly an oasis of calm that helps many a break  from their hectic lives.

 

At the core of the Nisala Foundation's mission is the promotion of well-being through deep relaxation and awareness based practices that predominantly feature mindfulness meditation and aspects of yoga. The Foundation caters to both beginner, intermediate, and advanced students in its teaching.


One of the distinctive features of teachings at Nisala is its inclusive and non-denominational approach, attracting individuals from various religious backgrounds, such as Buddhists, non-Buddhists, and secular seekers alike.

In-House and Outreach Events that Benefit Society

 

The Nisala Foundation regularly hosts both in-house and outreach events that provide a much needed service to the society. It also hosts online teaching events attended by individuals from many parts of the world. People who attend these events are able to let go of stress and deeply relax, and enter into a deep state of awareness at the end of each event, as vouched by thousands of participants throughout the years.
