Bondalem is a village of 3000 inhabitants, a small but sprawling fishing village on the North Shore of Bali.
Here, like all over Bali, most Balinese follow the Hindu Religion and daily life is filled with many kinds of ceremonies. In the early morning you will see Balinese placing daily offerings baskets in and around their family compounds and homes or their businesses. Keep reading »
Luke is an exceptional visionary artist, who came to stay at ShangriLa with his partner Mira, to ensure that Art didn’t turn into just work, and vision didn’t loose its magic, but that they too took time out to replenish their souls, play in the ocean, snorkel, be romantic, and dream of new ideas.

This beautiful story will show how much the physical and energetic life is always seen as belonging together.
At the edge of our property right by the ocean, we had inherited a beautiful place of prayer, two little temples, overshadowed by a large fruiting tree, which was always dropping little sour purple plumbs during the months of November through December on our temples, the close by Jacuzzi and walk ways, and had become hazardous as kids loved to climb the tree.
However, kids form the neighborhood loved it and I also felt very happy for the children to have a place to play, gather food and learn survival skills, which kids happen to like to practice. None Keep reading »
Bali Trash Power Point Presentation
This is a 35 MB File
A year ago I, Ilona Selke, was invited by the Mayor of Bondalem to give a presentation on the Trash Problem in Bondalem. He had invited about 120 people to attend. There were the nine heads of schools of the larger Bondalem area, and a number of teachers plus students.
I had asked a Balinese friend to act as a translator for me, as I was barely getting my feet wet in Indonesian. However, I soon realized that the passion I had was enough to cover for all my lack in language, and I started to speak in front of all the children and teachers myself in Indonesian.
I had a slogan: Bondalem Bersi, A Clean Bondalem! Keep reading »

We met Heath Bennett at the KAFE in Ubud in January of 2009. He was sitting outside on the balcony of our favorite Healthfood restaurant in Ubud on a sunny Sunday morning. He was sitting at our favorite table, but since we didn’t want to intrude on him, as he was sitting next to a beautiful woman showing her pictures on his Apple computer, looking like a newly wed, we looked for a table inside.
Don and I found a table near a window, only inches away from our usual spot. As I happened to glace through the window I caught a glimpse of a fabulous food image Heath had just pulled up onto his computer screen.
It was a perfect shot of his breakfast before him. More and more professional images came up. I was breathlessly in awe. I got up, walked outside and introduced my self to the two of them. Keep reading »
