Proud to be Sri Lanka's first coworking space dedicated to bringing Mindfulness at Work

As we enter the Post-Pandemic working world, the way we think and work has changed. What has become clear is that for our organizations and employees to thrive, we need to look beyond profit.

We are here to re-invent pre-pandemic work culture focusing on consciousness, community, and co-creation in the new normal.

We have dedicated our space, event and programs to introduce something revolutionary in Sri Lanka and create a community of changemakers who prioritize personal growth, social change and collaboration over competition.

Mission

Bringing together a conscious community of changemakers at a creative coworking space sharing knowledge, inspiration and ideas to co-create our wildest dreams!

Vision

Our vision to reinvent how we work, connect, and create in the New Normal has these three key ingredients:

Consciousness: We define consciousness as your awareness of yourself and the world around you. How we perceive and react to the world is foundational to everything we “do’ in the world. And so, this is really the starting point. Our events facilitate thought-provoking conversations to challenge norms, open our thinking and discover how we can build in new ways. To build a better world, change starts with ourselves. We believe that a conscious leader will make better choices for themselves, their employees and their customers which will have a ripple effect in their communities.
Community: How can we make social change in the way we run our businesses? The best teams are more than the sum of their parts. We all know that we can achieve much more together. In 2021 we aim to experiment with new formats to bring people together around topics that are close to our hearts.
Co-creation: A new way of working without big hierarchies, but groups of individuals who come together to fulfill a common goal and then disperse. How can we create a platform for cocreators to share, learn and collaborate with each other?

Semal Luthra
Co- Founder

Semal brings in aspects of design, conscious capitalism and mindfulness on which HomeTree finds its roots. A newbie in the island, she is passionate about blending self-awareness with design-thinking to help individuals and startups re-invent themselves and discover their true calling so that they can build visionary products and services to address the pressing needs of our time. Semal recently attended Yale School of Management USA for her MBA. Her previous work experience branched out to Adobe USA, Deloitte UK and Dunnhumby UK. "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. Then 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. We hold this vision deep in our hearts and aspire to make HomeTree, one such hub where co-workers can grow together to bring about meaningful change!"

I want HomeTree to be a catalyst of connectivity and interaction among these communities. In today’s world where everything evolves and intertwines rapidly, I believe that mindfulness has to be part of our work culture to help expand our creativity and help us lead with purpose. The need to be conscious of fellow humans, nature and striving for harmony is higher than ever before.
