The Bahai's of Bali Present:
Nature & Providence
new paradigms in education through nature and spirituality
Sincere enquirers should review all these details over a laptop rather than a smartphone
Say: Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator. Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes,
and in this diversity there are signs for men of discernment.
Nature is God's Will and is its expression in and through the contingent world.
It is a dispensation of Providence ordained by the Ordainer, the All-Wise.
— Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, Lawh-i-Hikmat

The Location
Bali is like a magnet to people around the world. In fact, in 2022, on the sidelines of the G20 Bali Summit, the G7 summit was also held in Bali. The G7 is an annual meeting of leaders from the world's seven largest economies, where they discussed and coordinated on a wide range of global issues, including economics, security, and climate change. Furthermore, Indonesia's national motto is indeed "Unity in Diversity," which is also known as "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" in Indonesian. This phrase, written in Old Javanese, reflects the country's diverse cultures, ethnicities, and religions, while emphasizing the importance of unity among all Indonesians. However, this is most reflected in Bali and extended to all the world. Bali is also a Hindu Island, surrounded by thousands of Indonesian islands that are 87% Muslim. But, given the country's motto and the beauty and magic of Bali, no one has dared to convert or change it. Instead, they try to emulate it. In fact, a common theme among Indonesian leaders is, how can we make more of the country more like Bali? And, speaking of Islam, Bali is a virtual Mecca for the world's vast international yoga community. It has been said that, if yoga was a religion, it would not only be the world's fastest growing religion, but no other religion would come even remotely close. Ironically, however, although yoga is not a religion, all religions are a form of yoga. Furthermore, yogis, who come from all religions and no religions, are among the most open to the teachings of the Bahai Faith.
The Workshops & Presenters
Teaching the Bahai Faith to Yogis
In 2004, by Divine happenstance, Will Brashear met with all 18 members of the combined NSA of India and LSA of Bangalore (the silicon valley of India). He was doing a teaching trip all around India discussing the correlation of Bahai teachings with yogic teachings.

A Foodies Paradise, Too
It's not just nature and temples, everything is beautiful in Bali, even the food. And the locations, well, it may sound exaggerated, but so many of the restaurants in Ubud seem like holy places, too good to just eat there; nor do we. We love to hang out for as long as we can to soak in the atmosphere and Balinese hospitality, which is second to none! Previously, meals were covered on our tours, but in Bali it just doesn't make sense. There are so many places you can go and the budget range is just as vast; although for most westerners the prices you find most anywhere will still seem pretty good. Expect to pay as low as $3 for a good meal on the low end, but if you pay $12 for a meal its probably going to be amazing! Furthermore, many of our lodging suggestions offer free breakfast.

This Magical Event Is Free !
But you'll need to pay for Flight, Food & Lodging
Although no one is going to make any monetary profit from this event, and the event itself is free, (unless you live in Bali) you will probably need food & lodging. But, especially if you are from the west or a westernized country, you will be very pleasantly surprised with the cost of the very comfortable and beautiful lodging, and the very affordable and delicious food.

ASAP
If you have any questions, whatsoever, don't hesitate to contact us. There can be a lot involved in traveling to the other side of the world!
Once you contact us we will keep you updated on any other information you will need.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Flight Info
You will have to get your own flight, but a recent check on cheap0air.com (which also offers financing for flight purchases) is currently turning up flights for less than $1400 ~round trip~ from Cincinnati, USA - and much less than that from larger airports like O'hare, Detroit, JFK & Dulles.
Passport
If you don't have a passport you will want to start working on that pretty soon as it can take 4 to 6 weeks; and even longer if there are any glitches in the process.
VISA On Arrival
From the USA, as well as a long list of other countries [Check the list here], you do not need a pre-ordered VISA to enter Bali, and should opt for the V.O.A. instead. Currently the VOA only costs $30 and the process is super simple: Exit the airplane, follow the crowd to the VOA line, pay the fee, pass thru immigration and collect your luggage.
Currency Exchange
As you head toward the exit of the airport you will pass by several money exchange services. They all pretty much give you the same rate, but only exchange about $100. Once you arrive in Ubud, we can show you many nearby places where you can exchange more, whenever needed, at a much better rate than the exchange services at the airport.
Free Airport Pick Up
We have our own trusted drivers. They will be waiting for you as you exit the airport and holding up a sign with your name. When they drop you off at your room they will not ask you for payment nor a tip. (However, 50k would be a good amount to tip and we encourage you to do so.)
Tipping
is not a part of Balinese culture and you will rarely to never be asked for a tip. Nevertheless, we still encourage giving them, but to do so intelligently. For example, almost anytime someone tips 100k (about $6.25) or more it is quite unheard of among anyone who has spent any time in Bali, and so you run the risk of appearing very gullible and easy to be taken advantage of. Taxi Tipping: Although most people usually tip 50k - 100k IDR for the 90 min ride from the airport to Ubud. 50k (about $3.12) is actually considered a pretty good tip; esp when you consider the whole trip is just 350k to 400k.
