Why Come To Bali NOW?

Our 2011 retreat is the best time to come to Bali because Elizabeth Gilbert's book EAT PRAY LOVE has been made into a movie to be released at the end of 2010.

The book was translated into over 30 languages and became a massive success, attracting an international audience.

The movie starring Julia Roberts is expected to be equally popular.

Films that feature stunning locations have a huge impact by inspiring travel and increasing tourism to those places.

Bali will be the focus of much more tourist attention. Effects will be both positive and negative on the little paradise island.

With increased tourism hotels will be more in demand and prices will likely rise as will transportation costs and possibly flights.

There will also be more people visiting all the temples and other important cultural places of interest.

Development is anticipated to also increase, changing the feel of the land.

If you have always wanted to come to Bali, come now before the effects of intense international popularity are visible.

Come while prices are still reasonable, and crowds are manageable.

If you ever wanted to meet Wayan the healer, who is noted in Eat Pray Love and was helped by Elizabeth Gilbert to buy a house, now is the time. She is already in high demand by women inspired by the book to visit Ubud.

Come while you can still find authentic Bali villagers going about their daily rituals unchanged over centuries.

Come now to the real Bali.
