We offer retreats, international events, and online sessions designed to awaken deep inner silence, clarity, and the recognition of pure awareness.
Our Roots
Nisala Foundation Sri Lanka
The Nisala Foundation is the spiritual heart of our organisation (wwww.nisala.org). Situated in the serene central highlands of Sri Lanka, it is a sanctuary where thousands of people have experienced deep rest, inner healing, and awakening since its inception in 2013.
At the Sri Lanka retreat centre, we offer:
-
Residential retreats and immersion programmes
-
Donation-based meditation events
-
Weekend sessions and one-day workshops
-
One-on-one meetings with Acharin
-
Long-term practice support

Silent stays and personal retreat time
This is where the teachings of Nisala Kriya have been developed, refined, and offered with sincerity, simplicity, and depth. It remains the grounding source of all our work around the world.
International Presence
Nisala Singapore – International Operations
As Nisala grew globally, we established Nisala Pte Ltd in Singapore to serve as our international operations hub.
This allows us to bring the depth of our Sri Lankan retreat centre to a worldwide audience with professional structure, stability, and international accessibility.
Through Nisala Singapore, we:
-
Organise international meditation events
-
Host retreats and programmes in Singapore, UAE, India, and beyond
-
Manage global registrations and payments
-
Offer online courses, webinars, and virtual sessions
-
Collaborate with global partners and organisations

This dual structure allows Nisala to remain spiritually rooted in Sri Lanka while being globally mobile, transparent, and professionally managed.
Teaching Framework
What We Teach — The Path of Nisala Kriya
Nisala Kriya brings together sound, energy, breath, and direct transmission to open a natural state of silence and awakened presence.
The path includes:
-
Nada / Sound Induction
-
Breathwork & grounding
-
Energy clearing & alignment
-
Deep relaxation teachings
-
Direct transmission of teaching (Shaktipath/Shivpath)
-
Integration for daily life
It is non-religious, transcendental, inclusive, and based on direct experience rather than belief.
Many participants experience noticeable shifts — clarity, emotional lightness, less mental chatter — even in a single session.
How Both Entities Work Together
One Organisation, Two Complementary Wings
Together, Nisala Foundation (Sri Lanka) and Nisala Singapore (Nisala Pte Ltd) form a single global organisation with a unified vision.
-
Sri Lanka is our retreat base, spiritual centre, and home of the teachings.
-
Singapore is our international platform, enabling global programmes, cross-border collaboration, and worldwide accessibility.
This model allows us to honour the depth and authenticity of our Sri Lankan roots while expanding responsibly and professionally to serve participants across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
Guidance
Guided by Acharin
Nisala is led by Acharin G. Wijenayake, founder of the Nisala Foundation and the primary teacher of Nisala Kriya. With decades of dedicated practice and teaching, he combines sound, breath, energy work, and direct transmission to guide students into profound inner stillness and clarity.
