Learn about Bali’s unique personality and why paradise isn’t necessarily a location on the map.

Islands are their own beings and Bali certainly has its own personality that effects how people live, love and work. From the well-known spiritual center of Ubud, Tara Khandro met up with us at Sage Café to talk about her life of exploration and spirituality. She shared why she thinks Bali has a special initiatory energy as well as explaining what it means to live life AS paradise. Many people come to the island to find paradise but end up finding that paradise is not necessarily about where you are on the globe.
