Meditation and Yoga

While you stay at Green View, you can undergo Meditation and Yoga courses. Meditation is to identify, propagate and develop the good spiritual qualities and abilities within us. Those good spiritual abilities and qualities help us to live happily and peacefully and to guide others to do so as well. We have to be properly trained for this. Medita-tion does not happen automatically, you have to be trained with effort. Yoga ideology shows that man is especially important to the society and to man, his body and mindsets are vital above all proving that the foundation of yoga is the maintenance of the human body

 

Social Responsibility

Now our aim is to help the wounded and stray dogs and cats in our area, care them like our own, we have already organized to feed them and also to sterilize and vaccinate all animals .in order finance such a project, I have organized a souvenir sales of Sri Lanka products such as spices, oils etc.

Other aspect of this project is to help low income population in village with assistance of the government officer in charge of the affairs of the village known as Grama Niladhari. Under this project children of poor families are encouraged to produce their creations of handicrafts and paintings which are sold by us for their benefits.

 

Supporting sustainable tourism

At the moment, Sri Lanka only allows certain groups to benefit from tourism in touristic cities. Green View has a vision always to bring the tourism to the village level and support local community, in terms of enhancing and enriching local villager’s life and their knowledge and also let them mingle with tourists. This way both tourists and locals get a chance to share their life-styles and understand cultures and values. There are a few programs we are currently working on and while you stay, you can take part in these projects and support this. Please visit our website for more details.
