Bali

Fa‘ Pawaka

Known as the Island of the Gods, Bali is unique because of its harmonious blend of spirituality, culture, and beautiful nature. Land, People, and Spirit are walking side by side here. It is one of the last places on earth where the community still practices ancients rituals and traditions. Bali also honours the Light and the Dark - whatever that means to you. This is what makes Bali special. There aren’t cutting corners when it comes to the journey; here, we experience the duality and everything in between. Feel ALL the feels.


At times, Bali feels like a place where time slows down, allowing for deep reflection and connection with oneself and the surroundings. At others, times move extremely fast here, as there are many things to experience. The warmth of the Balinese people, their dedication to rituals, and the mix of serene and chaotic ways create a sense of belonging that is hard to find elsewhere.

The curator of our guide, Fa' Pawaka, otherwise known as Favela Munk, is a Bali-based Indonesian multidisciplinary artist. Her current artistic focus revolves around the realm of sound, where she explores its transformative power. Embracing sacred instruments, she strives to weave a tapestry of peace and profound well-being. Fa’ is passionate about the healing potential of these tools and finds great joy to be providing unique wellness experiences to the community.
