Join Us & Venture into Bali
............where everyone is an artist!
Bali
is a small beautiful island in the heart of Indonesia.
Why travel to Bali?
With exotic gardens, water palaces, long sandy beaches, warm blue water, dense tropical jungles, and volcanoes reaching to the clouds, it is termed “The Last Paradise On Earth”.
It is the most productive traditional agriculture area on earth, full of exotic fruits and vegetables, mainly due to such an ample supply of fresh water and rich volcanic soil.
The Balinese are endowed with exceptional artistic talents. There is no word for art in the Balinese language. They see life as art. These people are unsurpassed in their craftsman(women)ship. There is a plethora of textiles of all sorts, paintings, jewelry making, woodcarving, and stone carving and more. Shopping is fun in Bali!
They spend
a considerable
amount of time and wealth staging sumptuous ceremonies for their own
pleasure, for their gods, and also for the delight of foreign
visitors. Visitors are so warmly and happily received by the
Balinese that these travelers become entranced by this incredible
hospitality.
No celebration or social gathering is complete without music and
dance. There are more than 1500 dance and music groups. Gamelan
refers to the group/orchestra of musicians as well as their
instruments which are all made in Bali. This music has been orally
passed down throughout the centuries. Dance in Bali is not only an
expression of devotion to the gods, but also a way of instilling
cultural values on each generation.
This culture is so so magical.
The Balinese people, in general, have an
integrity about them that is uplifting to see. The men of all ages
are quite fit. It is very rare to see an overweight Balinese person.
Both the men and the women of Bali seem to have a quiet respect for
Westerners, and yet it is apparent they wish to remain true to their
own ideals.
They live an attitude of gratitude, express welcoming kindness. Their own personal happiness is contagious and all travelers should experience it; a must visit in this lifetime.
The Balinese rituals, artistry, and customs are rich and magnificent. Simply to be around these people will open your eyes to new possibilities. Read more..

yourself, you may find yourself growing in new profound ways through
this journey to Bali.
