Foods that Save the Forest.

November 22, 2014/in Blog Snippets /by balisilent

When European explorers first stepped foot in the tropical rain forests of South America and Asia they were quick to judge what they observed.

Bufy squeaks and dances

November 16, 2014/in Blog Snippets /by balisilent

Bufy, our water buffalo; she’s an eccentric character, a theatrical personality, an affectionate joyful HUGE beast! (Mind the horns!) We adore her and so do the guests. But she’s not like a cow or a cat or dog, for that matter. Since just a teenager now, she’s still learning how to pull the plow and […]

Planting a new Banyan tree at Odalan

November 14, 2014/in Blog Snippets, Culture, Tradition & Tales of History /by balisilent

One of the most regularly observed ceremonies in Bali is ‘Odalan’. Generally speaking, Odalan is a festival/ceremony to observe a temple’s anniversary or birthday, every 210 days on the Balinese Saka calendar, but it’s intent is to honor the birthing and arising from God Essence. It is spiritual, social, and part of the Balinese-Hindu tradition. […]

Ducks

Quack Quack Duck Duck

August 25, 2014/in Blog Snippets /by balisilent

Ducks are funny! Fun to watch. Fun to listen to. Wiggling. Quacking. Running to the left. Running to the right. Arguing. Chatting.
