Hometree: SL’S first co-working space dedicated to mindfulness at work
Sri Lanka’s first coworking space dedicated to mindfulness at work, Hometree Coworking, aims to reinvent prepandemic work culture by focusing on consciousness, community and co-creation in the new normal.
Elaborating on Hometree’s mantra for 2021, founder Semal Luthra noted that their vision was to reinvent how people work, create and connect in a post-pandemic world.
“We have dedicated our space, events and programmes to introduce something revolutionary in Sri Lanka. We aim to create a community of change makers who prioritise personal growth, social change and collaboration over competition,” she remarked.
Located right next to Majestic City, in Colombo 4, Hometree is not just a homely hassle-free coworking space. Hometree is a community of entrepreneurs, freelancers and business professionals who stride for change, big and small. Hometree offers a range of flexible, tailor-made memberships, from virtual memberships to individual desks and private offices.
“Five years ago, I left my nine to five consulting job at Deloitte UK because I was tired of working just to get paid, living for the weekend and struggling to find meaning in my work.
I allowed myself to dream and think beyond the world I knew. That’s when I decided that I wanted to raise consciousness in the world of work and just three years from that point, I started Hometree with that mission at heart. We want to give you that same opportunity,” Semal affirmed.
Hometree aims to focus on a new world of work, where your inner guidance and consciousness directs what you ‘do’ in the outer world.
Hometree’s community of changemakers is a testament to their offerings.
“If we have our own place, creating an environment like this would be a huge cost. The facilities at Hometree are really good. Our employees enjoy that and we can focus on our business at a great workspace,” noted Pickme and Yohobed/ Yoho Mart Co-founder Fathhi Mohamed.
