Program Overview

Join this once-in-a-lifetime adventure into the very heart of Balinese ceremony and ritual — during the time of Nyepi, the Balinese Hindu New Year. Discover the joy of honoring your own inner darkness and releasing that which no longer serves you. Be in harmony with ancient ceremonies that wake up your own unique indigenous wisdom. Spend a full 24 hours in total silence throughout the island, giving time for self-reflection, healing and affirmations for a year of blessings.

Let us take you on an inspirational adventure of a lifetime. Unlike a regular tour, our trips are designed for small groups exploring one-of-a-kind experiences.  Enjoy a delicious private dinner and fascinating discussion with the King of Bali in his palace. Meet with young Balinese changemakers and visit hidden ancient temples. Witness Bali’s breathtaking scenery, lush green rice terraces and private tropical beaches.  Choose from authentic local foods and explore delicious culinary delights.

Most important, we’re told that our trips are life changing.  We hope so.  Our love and deep respect for the Balinese and their island carries thru everything we offer.  Come join us.
