Are you ready to explore the hidden layers of your mind and uncover the truth beyond perception?
Join us for this transformative one-day retreat, where you’ll be guided on a journey to understand the mind, see reality as it truly is, and discover the path to lasting freedom and enlightenment.
Let’s begin the sacred journey to purify the mind and rediscover the peace within.
Each moment we live, unseen mental patterns and past impressions shape the way we see the world. These habits quietly build our reality — leading us to react, to crave, and to suffer without even realising why. This special Detox Your Mind Day Retreat is an opportunity to pause and gently uncover these hidden causes of unrest — guided by the compassionate wisdom of Ven. Dr. Athurugiriye Mahinda Thero.
Join us for a transformative Dhamma talk with Ven. Handapangoda Nivathapa Thero, where timeless Buddhist wisdom meets the profound mysteries of existence. This talk invites you to look deeper into the theory of everything — not through science, but through the lens of your own mind, experience, and reality.
This three-day journey will guide you to look beyond everyday challenges and uncover the lasting joy that comes from within. Through inspiring discussions, interactive activities, and mindful reflections, participants will learn to understand their emotions, discover clarity, and build inner strength
True happiness isn’t found in what we own or achieve — it blossoms from understanding our hearts and minds.
Join us for an enlightening three-day workshop designed to help children (above 7 years) and young adults explore life through awareness, compassion, and self-discovery.
True peace doesn’t come from changing the world — it blossoms when the mind sees clearly, free from illusion and restlessness.
Join Ven. Handapangoda Nivathapa Thero, the revered Guru Thero of Jethavanarama Monastery in Sri Lanka, for an illuminating Dhamma talk that explores the inner mechanics of happiness and the art of freeing the mind from unnecessary suffering.
Join us for a transformative inner journey — a chance to gently peel away the layers of illusion and see life as it truly is.
Through deep reflection, stillness, and silent observation, you will begin to see how the mind constructs its own reality — and how freedom arises when we no longer cling to its passing images and stories.
Give them a space where curiosity, clarity, and real inner freedom come alive.
This December, we invite young minds to join the Quest of Happiness — a transformative three-day workshop designed especially for teens and young adults. It’s a supportive, refreshing space for those who feel overwhelmed by stress, digital overload, constant scrolling, or the pull of game addiction. Here, they will learn how to gently break free from those habits and rediscover the joy of a calm, clear mind.
A day to clear the mind, dissolve old patterns, and rediscover the freedom within.
Everything within us is made of movements with no solid core—thoughts form like mist, emotions gather like clouds, and the one we call “I” has no true boundary or anchor.
Still, we grasp these fleeting impressions as if they could offer certainty. Naturally, the heart feels worn from trying to hold what cannot be held
A day filled with discovery, inspiration, and the gentle unfolding of true, lasting happiness.
On 28th December 2025, we invite children (7+ years) and young adults to a thoughtful, uplifting space where they can explore what happiness really means — not just the excitement that fades, but the deeper joy that grows from within.
Step into a day designed to help you clear the fog, soften the noise within, and gently loosen the grip of the “I” we carry so tightly.
On 29th December 2025, join us for a rare opportunity to explore the deeper layers of your mind under the guidance of Ven. Handapangoda Nivathapa Thero, the revered Guru Thero of Jethavanarama Monastery in Sri Lanka. His teachings illuminate the subtle illusions we mistake as “me” and “mine,” opening the way to clarity, compassion, and inner freedom.
