Over the years, I’ve watched Bali be sold off and transformed into a post-colonial nightmare. I would have stopped bringing groups there long ago if I hadn’t found in the magical mountains of Tejakula - a not-for-profit center making genuine impact through heartfelt projects, where every cent goes directly towards community & vital environmental initiatives.
Their work includes reef restoration, tree planting, and plastic education, along with scholarships for children and care for the sick, elderly, and orphans.authentic spirit of Bali.
Bringing groups there over the last decade has meant that I have been able to be involved in some incredible projects-
one of the highlights has been supporting the reintroduction of the critically endangered Bali Starling. A bird only found in Bali that was hunted and sold internationally because of its unusual markings and beauty.
A couple of weeks ago whilst there with my retreat group, we were privileged to participate in releasing two mating pairs into the wild — an incredibly hopeful step toward their population recovery.
Seeing these beautiful birds take flight once again filled us all with boundless joy and hope.
I am so grateful to offer my community retreats that truly make a difference. The positive connection and tangible impact in Tejakula inspire me deeply and reaffirm why I keep returning. Together, we are part of something meaningful — restoring not just the land and wildlife, but also the sense of community, compassion, and purpose.
