It’s a hub of expats from all over the world, intertwined with local life of Balinese people. You can literally see a modern place where expats meet for co-creation next to a traditional Balinese temple where a ceremony takes place.
This is the kind of environment that I blossom in.
My heart is open and safe here.
Such a variety of events takes place here each day, several times a day. From ecstatic and contact dances, to pottery and other handcraft workshops, to dance classes in world traditions, to erotic arts (shibari, tantra, bdsi, and other).
I came here with no plans to offer any of my work, and yet the invitations are abundant. A friend asked, for instance, to hold a temple for his birthday here.
The variety of schools is most abundant I’ve ever seen. From empathy school to green school, to traditional education. In various languages. So many creative extra curriculum activities for children!
The expat population here has significantly changed since I’ve been here last time about 5 years ago for our Bali holidays.
Guess which two nationalities are most present now. Look at the global events.
Since I have Alisia, I see Balinese people differently. They touch the mother part in me. Something in me wants to protect their innocence. Each conversation is so pure and light. It breaks my heart when I see some westerners treating them like workforce or when people are impolite to them. They are here with open heart and soul to welcome people on Bali, into their rich culture, into their home. So generous.
Balinese government policies are smart to prevent capitalistic colonisation. All land and properties remain in Balinese hands. So instead of buying a house for €250k, you can lease one for the same amount for 10 or 20 years.
Being nourished Queen style here.
