The Bali Institute has been collaborating with the University of Western Australia’s Indigenous Studies Department since 2015 to co-create a brand new cultural immersion experience with a group of Aboriginal university students from UWA. The program design will explore a deeper understanding of indigenous ways of knowing through a lens of the Balinese culture being offered by direct experiences and service learning. Areas of this “indigenous ecology” theme will include a richer understanding of the Balinese philosophy and indigenous ways of life, the Tri Hita Karana “system” of being in the world, traditional healing, performance arts, sustainable ancient agrarian practices, community based tourism, and much more.
