Yes. Nilambe Buddhist Meditation Centre (Kandy hills) offers open-ended stays with basic beginner support — sit-when-you-want structure and morning group sits. Cost: 2500-4000 LKR/day. Also Lewella Meditation Centre and various Colombo Insight Meditation Society weekly programs.

Format: 1-3 day intros teach basic Anapana (breath) and metta (loving-kindness). Beginner-friendly, not the intense Vipassana route. Casual dress, some talking allowed. Great starter before deciding on longer retreats.
