Indonesia is the richest country on Earth. A highly complex ecosystem with an enormous range of natural wonders and incredible edibles. A rich and mysterious culture, ancient wisdom keepers and a type of magic that has fascinated outsiders for centuries. Amidst 17.000 plus diverse islands lies the Kingdom of Bali. A vortex of creation and spirituality. We want to honour and celebrate Bali every day. Its wonderful people, its gifts and its secrets, which slowly reveal themselves every time we bow to her.
Thank you to all living beings who contribute to our school’s uniqueness.
