This webinar was recorded at “Diyabubula”, which means “Bubbling Fountain” – which is named after the bubbling spring on the property. It symbolises the power of the earth and the creativity bubbling up in this magical location. Diyabubula, the Barberyn Art & Jungle Hideaway, is a small unique lodge with five villas. Located near the town of Dambulla, Central Sri Lanka.

The practice of Mindfulness is known to help in resolving common human problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. and help in personality development. These are however fringe benefits in the practice. Mindfulness is, in fact, a spiritual journey that focuses on the deep interconnection between the body and the mind. Mindfulness leads to awareness and this leads to insight – a profound level of understanding that is beyond intellect and can only be known through experience.
Geetha will lead the first webinar and will explain this philosophy in a simple and practical way.
We look forward to practice with you.

Manick – How to Cook Healthy & Tasty Food
- We have come to this point of culinary development from a diet of mainly raw leaves.
- In the early times we adopted a simple style of cooking which was boiling all the ingredients together and this still remains with the Soup which is also a basic dish in the west.
- Bringing the food to a boiling point and simmering on low heat is the basis of Sri Lanka cuisine and the curry, as with the soup. Coconut milk and the spices add flavor and nutrition to the Curry.
- Rice also follows this same method. People are moving away from this slow-cooking methods
- Because of the fast pace of life and we are fortunate that the method still prevails and there is a greater awareness in preserving the value and nourishment of the ingredients.
Please note that we have changed the sequencing of the last two webinars for May 2020 as follows;
