Descripción
Phew - our first crazy season is now over and we are looking for volunteers in the off-season and also in the upcoming second season. We have also opened a second location in Hiriketiya which we wil be growing this season.
Our spaces are the first of its kind in Sri Lanka. We built it and people came!
Ice, sauna, yoga and coffee packed into a small location next to the beach. In our first season we often had 100 people a day using our ice bath & sauna or attending a class.
We are looking for enthusiastic and passionate workawayers to come and help out for the season which starts roughly between late October and early Decemeber depending on the waves and weather and goes on until late April (October - Dec and May are the shoulder season and a great time to visit).
In Weligama you'll be in a busy surf town two minutes from one of the best surfing beaches in Sri Lanka and one of the best places to learn to surf in the world with a range of cafes, bars and yoga studios all nearby.
In Hiriketiya you'll be in one of the prettiest bays in Asia and one of the most beautiful spots in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is booming and it is a great time to visit.
We have a team of 5 Sri Lankan staff that we have trained and work with and are looking to compliment our team with 1-2 volunteers as we look to open a new location shortly in Ella.

Our location is right in the heart of Weligama and our 5 local staff are all from Weligama were all trained by us.
There is a huge chance to meet and work with locals, especially the surf community.
We are also planning to work with a number of other small businesses and all of our food and coffee will be sourced locally from Sri Lanka.

Update: 10/05
What we require:
- Minimum stay of one month - please don't message us unless you can commit to 1 month/4 weeks unless you really have a skill or solution you don't think we can do without
Workawayers who can do 2 out of the following will be given priority:
- Yoga/breathwork (special need for teachers & facilitators who can guide people into the Ice)
- social media/graphic design
- General help
If you can do two or even three things from the list above we want to hear from you - if you can do one then we still want to hear from you, perhaps you also speak a second language or have another unique skill we can use?
There is the opportunity for paid work and even visa sponsorship for longer positions for the right person.

Taio is a great yoga teacher but more than that she was dedicated and patient and kept showing up at the start of the season when we didn't have too many students.
We would welcome Taio… read more
She kept turning up even at the very begining of the season and without her we wouldn't have the busy classes and the vibe that we have built today. Sarah wasn't just a great yogi she was a guide for our ice baths and able to… read more
The space is by far the sweetest spot in weligama to spend a morning socialising, chilling out and drinking delicious coffee just minutes from the best beginner waves in Sri Lanka!
