My passion lies in exploring and sharing the profound teachings of Balinese spirituality—especially those rooted in Tantric and yogic wisdom.
I’ve written several books in Bahasa Indonesia on Tantra, yoga, and meditation, including the Ilmu Tantra Bali series (3 volumes) and Meditasi Tantra. Through these works, I hope to preserve and present the deep wisdom of our ancestors for today’s seekers.
I’m also the founder of the Bali Wisdom Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to the education and preservation of ancient Balinese spiritual traditions. I teach through my online cultural school, and you can explore more about this work at www.baliwisdom.com (in Bahasa Indonesia) or www.balineseyoga.org (for English-speaking audiences).
