Arrvind Salwatura

Yoga practitioner 

As the Co-founder of Konectiv Wellness, I strive to connect my lived experience to create spaces and experiences that allow “us” to experience “I”. I spent most of my adult life in the advertising industry and half of my entire life (un)learning and reflecting on who I am. My understanding of myself now, in relation to who I used to be has inspired me to become the artist & wellness practitioner I am today. For me, Wellness is Art, a reflection of our best selves on the canvas of this planet.

I am a Sri Lankan true and true, I have lived my entire life on this amazing island and back then lived in our capital city following the stream until over a decade ago I quit my job and moved to Unawatuna, a small coastal village on the south coast – to find myself and my purpose. I am 40 now and this journey as a Sri Lankan has been an infinitely beautiful yet harrowing experience because I chose to do it alone as a singular organism battling the storms, a square peg amongst round holes. Never questioning but always withering storm after storm – Sexual orientation, Race, Religion, Culture, Capitalism, and Colonization to name a few. Community, on the other hand, is its’ polar opposite. Community is alchemy, as it allows us to transform and transmute our emotions and see ourselves reflected in the people in our lives. This motivates me to hold space and create retreats centered around Love, compassion, empathy & the simple mindful thought of understanding that the answers we seek are already within us.

As a queer Sri Lankan, I grew up unaware of my true birthright of simply being happy with who I am so I looked for happiness in the eyes of others. Now as I spend time watching my daughter play and revel in nature, I know I am ready to claim and pass on my birthright through my offerings. Wellness is our birthright, we have the right to feel joy and be way more than comfortable in our own skin. Konectiv Wellness and my work are about reclaiming all which we deny ourselves – our right to our own well-being through practice and immersive experiences. We are here to thrive it is our right to not accept anything less. Join me on this amazing journey towards collective healing.

My mission is to revive communal healing practices and make wellness accessible to Sri Lankan communities.

Session Descriptions

HEAL

Session 1: Wisdom of Trauma Movie Screening & Sharing Circle, Friday, Nov 11th, 5-7:30 pm – Donation-based event

An exclusive movie screening of The Wisdom of Trauma movie featuring Dr. Gabor Mate to explore the connection between Addiction, Anxiety, and Trauma. 

Aimed at: Ages 18+

Can our deepest pain be a doorway to healing? Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds. In The Wisdom of Trauma, we travel alongside physician, bestselling author and Order of Canada recipient Dr. Gabor Maté to understand the connection between illness, addiction, trauma and society. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul. 

Join us for an exclusive screening of the film Wisdom of Trauma, followed by an intimate sharing circle facilitated by Sepali Ranawana, a counsellor with a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychosocial Work from the University of Colombo and completed a 1 year training on Compassionate Inquiry with Dr Gabor Mate along with Semal Bodh Mastani, a former management consultant, and present founder of HomeTree Coworking, Women’s Circle Facilitator, Inner Transformation Coach, Entrepreneur, and Inner Reset Talk Show Host.

“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you, as a result of what happens to you.” — Gabor Maté

What to expect out of this session:

  • Understand how past trauma might have impacted our health and well-being.
  • Understand how past trauma might have impacted your relationships?
  • Explore how might intergenerational trauma have impacted our community.
  • Understand the resilience we may have built and/or inherited to trauma as a community.
  • Identify further resources or supported needed as a result of past trauma, and how we can go about receiving the needed support.
  • Determine how to integrate key insights from the movie of the impact of trauma to our day to day lives.

Session 2: Creative Healing, Saturday, Nov 12th, 4-6 pm

Heal through awakening the creative spirit that lives in every single one of us.

Aimed at: Ages 18+

Creativity is a powerful healer and like a work of art, creativity has the same potential to free our minds from the societal & self-imposed shackles we experience on a day-to-day basis in Sri Lanka. Creative healing is a 90-minute program designed to heal through awakening the creative spirit that lives in every single one of us. The “modern world” we live in now offers us a world of potential but it has also managed to put us into boxes & made us live very monotonous mechanical lives according to strict timelines that denote how we should behave at a certain time & space, it can almost seem like we are walking through life half asleep. Creative healing is a 90-minute program created to get you out of your comfort zone and to spend some time being free and letting your energy flow instead of being restricted. You will be guided through a unique routine that incorporates techniques of Yoga intertwined with creative expression – music, art & movement. Sound, movement, colour & painting have always been part of our ancestral healing toolbox and this experience is part of reclaiming ourselves and getting in touch with our true nature. Come to experience a curated space for free expression and learn that living is art an art form and our best work is waiting to be set free. 

What to expect out of our workshop: 

  • Immersive sessions that include a flow of music, movement and art. 
  • Help you unleash your creativity
  • Cultivate a deeper connection to self, nature and community by letting loose and having fun while healing.

Session 3a: Men’s Healing Circle, Sunday, Nov 13th, 4-6 pm

Healing the Masculine – A sharing circle that will take 12 men on a journey of emotional exploration

Aimed at: Men, ages 18+

This interactive sharing circle will take 12 men on a journey of emotional exploration. We will discuss the challenges men face on a daily basis and the process of cultivating a healthy masculine presence within. The session will include an introduction to the framework of “masks of masculinity” by Lewis Howes to share how we as men relate to these masks and the steps we can take to shed them. 

What to expect out of our workshop: 

  • A safe judgment-free space and time to express your thoughts. 
  • A brief introduction to the nine societal masks of masculinity. 
  • Time to explore and share insights on societal masks/shields we use.

  • A guided meditation and journaling framework to take home.

Session 3b: Women’s Healing Circle, Sunday, Nov 13th, 4-6 pm

Healing the Feminine: An intimate sacred circle for women to come together, connect, be seen and be heard.

Aimed at: Women, ages 25-50

The past few months have been emotionally intense for us all. We invite you to an intimate sacred circle for women to come together, connect, be seen and be heard. 

This is an opportunity for you to leave all your responsibilities and everything behind so that you can come back to your real self. There is nothing more powerful than coming home to yourself, in a circle of other women who are coming home to themselves too.

Together, we will begin on a journey of self-acceptance and self-expression. Helping you connect to the source of wisdom within yourself, because that is your anchor, your center. The Truth might be different for each person. But when we connect to our truth, and speak our truth, we OWN our truth, and in that we allow another to OWN their truth too.

As we begin this journey together, my intention for this circle is to provide a safe, sacred and supportive space for you to open up and come home to yourself. A space where we can embrace our light, and also embrace our darkness while expressing from the heart. 

What to expect out of this session:

  • Being safely held in a space for self-reflection, rest and free of judgment.
  • Releasing stored emotions
  • Healing all that is keeping us stuck and not serving us right now.
  • Connecting with others from all walks of life and sharing the wisdom of experience.

Session 4: DeMystifying & DeToxifying your Relationships!, Saturday, Nov 26th, 4- 5:30 pm

Identifying and healing from toxic patterns and behaviours in relationships.

Aimed at: Ages 18+

Have you ever wondered why you are attracting some specific people in your lives who not only bring you down but also who make you forget who you really are and feel bad about yourselves? 

Why do we end up in toxic relationships? How many of us have ended up in toxic, unhealthy relationships, without even knowing that we are in one?  

Unfortunately, we don’t learn anything about relationships at school, so we have to navigate everything by ourselves, and most of the time the hard way: after we have been hurt, humiliated, rejected, betrayed, shamed, disappointed and even broken. ​

Join us and learn how to identify red flags, triggers and remove the toxic patterns from your relationships, personal or professional ones (partners, friends, colleagues, family members). 

What to expect out of this session:

  • Identifying toxic behaviors and warning signs in your relationships both personal and professional
  • Techniques to communicate in a more empathetic and harmonious manner
  • How can we enforce healthy boundaries and minimise the damage toxic behaviours can cause in our lives.

Session 5: Visual Journaling, Sunday Nov. 27th, 3- 4:30pm

Finding grounding moments through visual journaling.

Aimed at: Ages 18+

In this environment of ours of ever-changing substance, with crisis after crisis, there are some activities that seem to slow down time. The man who sells kolakanda by the road. The people who buy lottery tickets. The bougainvillea plants that flourish around doorways. 

In this session, we will be concentrating on grounding moments amidst these trying times; moments that make our journeys feel special and unique.

What to expect out of this session:

  • Understanding the art of visual journalling, without getting caught up in perfectionism.
  • Learning to observe our environment closely and understanding moments differently.
  • Learning to find comfort in the little things and how to reflect back on the mundane moments.

Session 6: Open your heart, let the love flow – loving you as you are, Nov 27th, 5- 6 pm – Donation-based event

Come as you are, take what you need.

Aimed at: Ages 18+

-Notebook

What to expect out of this session:

  • Guided Meditation with Tarot in English
  • Sound Bowl Healing, a deeply relaxing session
  • Finding a deep heart space healing so you can journey towards finding the Grace of unconditional love

SELF-LOVE

Session 7: Love ThySelf – A Self-Empowerment workshop, Saturday, Dec 10th, 10am-1pm

A safe & sacred space for you to uncover your truest and the most authentic expression of YOU.

Aimed at: Ages 18+

Most of us received the message as a child that we were not ok the way we were. We carry this belief through much of our life, trying to prove our worth through relationships, achievements and the approval of others.

How much ever we achieve, the bucket of self-worth remains empty because it can only truly be filled with an inner sense of love and belonging. Brene Brown says that love and belonging are the two irreducible needs of every human, yet many of us struggle to feel this in our lives.

In this workshop, we create a safe, sacred space for you to come home to yourself, and tap into your authentic essence. To celebrate what makes you, You!

What to expect out of this session:

  • Understanding the source of our unworthiness
  • Address your inner pain
  • Understanding the fears that are running our life
  • Navigating an internal roadmap to move from Fear to Love 
  • Healing all that is keeping us stuck and not serving us right now.
  • Forgiving ourselves and others through a powerful group ritual 
  • Being safely held in a space for self-reflection, rest and free of judgment.
  • Connecting with other like-minded beautiful souls

Session 8: Connection Circle for Mamas, Saturday, December 10th; 2:30-4:30 pm

Experience being present in a sensitive, supportive container to connect with yourself and form connections with the mamas around you.

Aimed at: Mothers of all ages

Motherhood, with all its pleasures, can also be deeply isolating. I aim to open up a non-judgmental and sensitive space where you feel free to speak about your experience of motherhood, and bear witness to the experiences of others. In the process of walking our path, we find others walking with us. In connection, we find strength. In presence, we find joy. Join me for this exploration of what connection can bring forth.

What to expect out of this session:

  • Come together in equality and acceptance
  • Create authentic connections with other mamas
  • Find authentic connections to ourselves
  • Honour our own and each other’s journeys  
  • A non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and supported by other mamas.

Session 9: Moving Towards Embodied Self-Love, Sunday, Dec 11th, 10-11:30am

A Movement based workshop nurturing our bodies’ relationship to self-love and compassion

Aimed at: Ages 18+

How do we experience love and compassion towards ourselves in our bodies? In this interactive and movement-based workshop, we will explore how we can access the often-hidden parts of ourselves that have been buried by societal, familial, and self-imposed expectations.

Our bodies are incredibly resilient and sometimes need a supportive nudge to access our internal strengths. Through gentle, guided movement in a safe space, we will have the opportunity to collectively foster awareness of self-love that we can nurture in our everyday lives.

What to expect out of this session:

  • Understanding how maladaptive patterns show up in the body
  • Exploring how we can begin to gently repattern our connection to ourselves through simple movement-based practices
  • Benefiting from a collective movement experience in a supportive space
  • No prior movement or dance experience is required, come as you are
  • Please wear comfortable clothing for movement.

Session 10: Compassionate Parenting – Helping Parents Help Kids, Sunday Dec 11th, 2-4 pm

Supporting parents to raise emotionally resilient families

Aimed at: Parents of all ages

This is a stressful time for the world, with uncertainty reigning supreme! The impact of this is universal and insidious, meaning that each one of us is affected by the environment and most of us are completely unaware of this in ourselves.

And just like with the proverbial person who is angry with the boss and goes home and takes it out on the dog, we are most probably unaware of how this is impacting our children.

The family is the smallest social unit, and I believe that if we can bring calm and resilience into our homes, there is hope for the bigger society.

What to expect out of this session:

  • What behaviour/s are we seeing in our children that is causing us concern
  • The impact of this on us
  • What needs children are expressing through their behaviours
  • How we can support ourselves and our children.

REINVENT

Session 10: Change Your Story, Change Your Life! Saturday, January 14th, 4-5:30 pm

An interactive working session to identify existing narratives from childhood that keep us stuck, and how we can transform them.

Aimed at: Ages 18+

Change the Narrative for a Happier & Healthier You:

“The way we narrate our lives, shapes the way they become. That’s the danger of our stories because they can really mess us up, but that is also their Power. Because what it means is that if we can change our stories, then we can also change our lives.

– Lori Gottlieb, Psychotherapist 

The story we tell ourselves becomes a major part of our lives from early adolescence. The way we internally reflect on the past shapes us to such an extent that it influences how we experience subsequent events. We become the authors of our future based on our previous personal narratives. If we could be the authors of our future, wouldn’t it be beneficial if we could re-write our story from a viewpoint that empowers us, instead of keeping us stuck in the old cycle of victimhood?

In this interactive workshop, we revisit a story that keeps us stuck, and discover how we can find the gifts hidden in that story, and rewrite it from an empowered mindset. The same story that kept you chained down, can become the catalyst to your inner transformation, but only if you allow it to reveal its gifts. So let’s rewrite our stories together in this workshop, and reclaim our life!

What to expect out of this session:

  • Objectively reviewing the story we are telling ourselves about our life
  • Using a self-reflective Framework to look beneath our stories and question: Are they really true? Do they serve us? How are they affecting our life?
  • Making a conscious choice on how we want to review events in our life
  • Rewriting our stories from an empowered state of mind, so that they no longer pull us down and keep us stuck
  • Opening up to vulnerability and transformation, as we explore these deep topics alongside other brave souls, in a safe, non-judgmental space. 
  • Applying this perspective to every situation in life, so that we can be open towards the silver lining hidden in each experience.

Session 11: Reflect-Rethink-ReinventYOU, Sunday, January 15th, 10-1 pm

Blossoming into the person you have always wanted to be.

Aimed at: Ages 18+ 

Have you been questioning your life purpose and meaning, or feeling stuck in a career? Are there patterns, activities or behaviours that you have become aware of and that you need to let go in order to make space and invite in what really matters to you now? Do you feel you are adapting yourself too much to cultural norms or people around you and are having trouble or not listening enough to your own authentic voice and therefore lose opportunities? 

In this workshop, you will be empowered and guided to stay true to yourself, in order to be motivated, creative and energized using principles from Ikigai and more. We will guide you on how to bring the principles of Ikigai into your daily life WITHOUT having to quit your job. Instead, we explore how we can bring more joy, purpose and meaning into the work we are already doing and pave the way towards a fulfilling career. 

“Reinventing ourselves to create a life that fulfills is more possible now than ever before. Never before have we had the ability to learn anything we like, right from our bedroom. Never before have we had the opportunity to connect with mentors and coaches from all over the world at the click of a button. Now is the time to dig deep into the things you love so that you can share your unique gifts with the world. Now, more than ever, when we are faced with big problems all around us, it is time to unleash our potential. 

I dream of a world, where everyone is passionately doing the work they love, because you are only going to be great at the thing you were meant to do. A world where work becomes enjoyable, exciting and stretches us to explore more aspects of our creativity. In a world where everyone is creating from their highest expression, we can truly manifest our highest aspirations, and make the impossible possible. I hold this vision deep in my heart and invite you to come and explore what personal reinvention means for you in this workshop.”
