Balispirit Festival - tickets on sale now!

UBUD, BALI – January 1, 2010;The BaliSpirit Festival and The Australia Indonesia Institute (AII) is proud to announce the return of World famous Australian organic dance music artist Ganga Giri to Bali. Giri will work with Pak Nyoman Windha, the leader of Bali’s most contemporary Bamboo Gamelan orchestra, as well as other talented Balinese musicians.

This year’s International Music Collaboration project between Ganga Giri and Pak Windha is made possible from the support of AII and will fuse the ancient sounds of Australia’s Didgeridoo and Bali’s Jegog (bamboo gamelan) with cutting‐edge dance beats and live percussion. These collaborative compositions will be presented as a headlining performance during the 2010 BaliSpirit Festival held from March 31 through April 4.

Festival Co-Founder and Music Director, Robert Weber says, “Indonesian art and culture has such diversity and richness, yet remains somewhat a mystery to the global audience. One of the missions of BaliSpirit Festival is to help increase appreciation of Indonesia’s creative culture by paring local artists with international peers, creating contemporary works that open doors to new audiences.” BaliSpirit Festival brings to Bali a wealth of talented and respected creative masters from around the world, mixing vibrant nights of World Music Concerts with daytime workshops of yoga, dance and music. This annual event merges the indigenous and rich cultures of Indonesia with East and West in the spirit of learning, collaborating and celebrating our creative and spiritual diversity.

Senses & Stillness retreats: fusing yoga, photography, & writing
with Dr Vijoleta Braach-Maksvytis, Ubud - Bali

senses-stillness-retreat-bali

2010 retreat dates : 1- 7 March, 9-15 August, 1- 7 November

Unfold a breathing space to explore a deeper sense of presence and stillness in ourselves and the way we connect to our surroundings.

Using a unique fusion of yoga, photography, and writing - and a sense of fun and learning! - we will take away the realisation that precious moments happen everywhere we go, and beauty abounds when we engage in the moment.

The days begin with gentle yoga, then explore through captured image or writing, the sense of self in the present. With my deep respect for Balinese people and culture, and I weave some of these gifts into our experiences.

A$1500 (accommodation and breakfast inclusive) - early bird booking savings available
