So where do I begin again?
& I moved to Bali 3 years ago after living in Thailand & traveling around Europe;
We came here for a visa-run & fell in love with Momma Bali after escaping Seminyak to Gili; back to Mengwi & Canggu;
We, like many others before us, wanted to share the Bali spirit with our friends over seas; to show them what they were missing but a funny thing happened on the way to the altar; We gave all of ourselves to Bali instead of asking all of Bali & what transpired in that offering is ;
We found a place to call home with the intention of opening our doors to all whom she welcomed; We built upon the foundation of the sentiments which we live by; love, family, harmony, community;
The Pura is a lot of different things to a lot of different people; from the Buddha on the front door, to the hamsa on the wall, to the sauna//banya, to the spinning shiva;
It’s part fantasy & all imagination; it’s a work-in-progress & poetry-in-motion; it’s what’s possible when you allow your heart to guide you & you put aside reason;
welcome to pura8ocho 🙏 ♾ ❤️
