Mystical Bali – Presentation: Savvy Traveler in Edmonds, WA – July 31, 2010

I hope all my friends in the Seattle Area can join me on July 31st for “Mystical Bali.”

By now millions of people have been introduced to the island of Bali through Liz Gilbert’s best-selling memoir “Eat, Pray, Love.” The upcoming movie with Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem will only increase people’s awareness of the island. But does the place itself live up to the fairy-tale quality shown in the book and film?

According to Greg Roach of Spirit Quest Tours, the reality of Bali actually exceeds the picture painted in the media. Using gorgeous photographs, video, humorous anecdotes and amazing facts, Greg’s signature presentation style will bring Bali vividly to life.

He’ll share the insider’s secrets he’s gleaned from years of travel to “The Island of 10,000 Temples.” Would you like to meet Ketut Liyer, the “Balian” from Liz Gilbert’s book? Greg’s spent hours with him and will talk about what one of his “readings” is really like.

What about the powerful mysticism of the Balinese religion? Greg will help you understand the difference between Siwa and shakti. From tooth-filing to rubber time, cremation ceremonies, magical daggers, coconut wine, flowing volcanoes, sacred snakes, weasel coffee, roast suckling pig and chewing betel nut, this fascinating presentation will reveal the magical island of Bali in a unique and compelling way.
