Hosted by

Emberleaf Sri Lanka

A jungle-set space in Midigama that has become a reference point for breathwork and sound healing on Sri Lanka's south coast. Emberleaf builds its programs around small groups and strong facilitation rather than volume, which is part of why practitioners travel here specifically for this work rather than as a side activity during a broader trip. Yoga runs alongside the breathwork and sound offering, sharing the same intentional, unhurried pace.

Frequently asked questions

1Do I need to know the chants?+

No — it's entirely call-and-response. You repeat what the lead sings; nobody expects prior knowledge.

2Is this religious?+

It draws on the kirtan/satsang devotional tradition, but the circle is open to anyone regardless of background — it's about the shared sound, not a specific belief requirement.

3Why does it only run November–April?+

It follows the dry season alongside Emberleaf's other outdoor evening programming — it pauses during the wetter months.
