In this increasingly fast-paced world, death rates due to su***de, aneurysm and sudden heart attacks are getting alarmingly higher than birth rates. Happiness, love and kindness is hardly anywhere to be found anymore in this broken and cruel world.

This is why it is so very important now more than ever to slow-down, and stay somewhere far away from the city here in Sri Lanka,for a few days. It really will do wonders for your mental and physical health. These are some of the typical sounds of our island without a trending background song, that you will get to hear while visiting.

Breakfast of champions 💫

Many women in Sri Lanka make a living through little road side shops. They sell various things, food & drinks. Kola Kanda is a green juice that is packed with proteins , vitamins and minerals and a great healthy breakfast. It's best with a piece of Kitul jaggery.

Our journeys will take you to such roadside small businesses and also to the homes of some of them. Here you get to help prepare this power juice and help to transform lives of these hardworking local ladies, who are the spirit of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka.

Make this Christmas break extra special with us this year. DM or Email us for a wholesome journey or stay that this season

Community-based tourism (CBT) involves local communities actively participating in and benefiting from tourism activities. It's a form of sustainable tourism where local communities own, manage, and control tourism experiences, ensuring benefits stay within the community. CBT aims to provide authentic travel experiences, preserve cultural heritage, and uplift the living standards of rural people.

Our walking and cooking tours are hosted by those who we like to call hidden heroes or super-mom survivors and are authentic in everyway. We aim at developing their lives and that of their children's through our hosted experiences that focus on CBT and our local community. We also aim at reducing poverty and mental health issues amongst children living in low-income communities in Colombo suburbs and slums through each tour.

Wish it was Friday again? Well why don't you take a few days off on a workation to everyday slow-flow sunsets like this here in paradise?

What we love about Colombo is that she can be really very loud and busy but also knows how to slow-it down like this by beautiful forever timeless Galle Face Green or at Vihara Mahadevi park ( Formerly Victoria Park after queen victoria). A good Surf or quiet stroll in the Galle Fort or by the Kandy Lake are all only about 2 hours away. Yes Colombo is such a good spot to base yourself in to work but also relax on a few days away from it.

We curate community-led and focused experiences both in Colombo and beyond on wholesome journeys, designed to transform lives, of the local aswell as the travellers. Our journey's are truly hassle-free from beginning to end and meaningful too in everyway. We will help you discover the untold stories and also teach you how to unwind and take things slow, that our islanders are best at doing.

Did you know that majority of Sri Lankan's live below poverty or in poverty ? Do you know that many children do not have rights to a fair education or lose out on a good one because of poverty? Do you know that majority of children here in paradise suffer from learning disabilities caused by poverty and poor living conditions?

Well we hope to change this , through our journey's that go towards working with deserving small public schools, across the island, on holistic education development programme that help each child understand their true talent and potential , that is beyond conventional methods of teaching and focused more on robotics and learning that is play-based.

Do you know how many children living in low-income areas and extreme poverty go neglected right here in Sri Lanka? Do you know how their anxiety and trauma leads them to fall back in school and get forced into child labour with their parents/grandparents/guardians who are most often than not on daily-wage? Do you know how many of these very same children go into childcare because of these extreme poverty and lack of love, and then get abused , neglected and exploitated in children's homes and hostels that are meant to be safe but actually aren't?

Do you know how many volunteer tourists, Foreign and local NGO's along with many corporates only make things worse and result to these very same children to suffer in silence while someone else gets paid a six digit salary in the pretext of helping them stay in schools? Do you know that their poor mental health more often than not leads to drug addiction , teen pregnancies, depression and su***de?

Do you want to know that a journey with us helps reduce this vicious cycle bu focusing on empowering the mother /grandmother looking after many children in Sri Lanka living in low-income communities through hosted- experiences of their daily-lives and living heritage? We help them earn a living at home, so as to help them spend time with their children and focus on their daily-needs. Do you know that we also focus on helping the schools these children provide a more holistic education that focuses on sports and arts /music along with robotics and creative learning? We also hope to include more outings to farm -stays and natural heritage sites for these kids to help them heal with travel the way you do , when you visit our beautiful island paradise.

Heal with us this May.

Once upon a time there lived two cats, home to two little boys, both in a typical local community and neighbourhood in Colombo. Both of these boys were from single-parent homes and were best friends. There are many untold stories of such neighbourhoods that many cats like these two know but are not able to re-tell.

Our journey's around Sri Lanka, are full of meaningful and immersive local experiences and walks by super-moms like those of these two boys in the story above. We help such mothers earn an extra income in a dignified manner to help keep their kids in school and happy. There is an increasing number of su***de, anxiety and depression in children caused by untold abuse that we hope our experiences can help minimize.

Our walks will take your through unseen everyday local communities and into homes of everyday super-heroes. You will get a chance to learn about our living heritage that is surely dying due to urbanisation.

Do you suffer from Narcisstic abuse or want to know if you are being a Narcissist? Well here's a little deep dive into this particular subject, which many of our super-mom hosts of our culinary & walking tours experience, daily or have experienced in the past. We know some of you also can relate , and hence why we curate wholesome journeys, that helps our mom team heal along with you, the traveller.

Each booking goes to not just healing but also helps our team earn a living and become more confident of themselves and of their own personal journey. We aim to eradicate poverty through our tours by empowering 'her - the super-mom ' , and ensuring their kids our all happy too. We work on encouraging holistic learning in the schools they go to aswell , across the island, focusing ok play and thinking , rather than discipline and memory work.

While there are several different types of narcissists, one of the most common narcissistic traits of people with NPD is a constant need for admiration. Over time, narcissistic behavior can isolate a victim and cause them to develop low self-esteem. It’s tactics like these that allow someone with NPD to control their victim and gain more power in the abusive relationship.
