Community · one of our three principles
Every training funds someone else’s
We believe a sacred business should give something back to the place it's located. So every cohort carries a funded place, and every event leaves something behind.
Why it exists
Healing should not only be for people passing through
Senses is located on a fruit farm in southern Sri Lanka. The practices we teach travel here from all over the world, and it would be a strange kind of wellbeing if the people who live around the shala were the only ones who could not afford it.
So it is built into the price of every training rather than left to good intentions. One funded place per cohort, donation-based rate for classes and reduced rate for trainings for locals.
“As a Sri Lankan, stepping into this space felt like coming home in the most unexpected way. The fact that they offer discounts and donation-based options for locals means this kind of healing is genuinely accessible to us too, not just for visitors passing through.”
How it works
Three commitments, on every training
One place per cohort
Every teacher training we run carries a funded place for someone from the community around the school. Your training helps begin someone else’s.
Local rates for local people
Sri Lankan practitioners pay a donation-based rate for classes and events, and a reduced rate for trainings, so the practice stays reachable for the people who live here.
A donation wherever we go
On the road and at the festival we leave something behind, sometimes a free place, sometimes a donation to a local charity.
