Six days at Sumberkima Hill in North West Bali with ARAE — the eco-printing collective whose work has reached millions on Instagram. One reel featuring me drew 367,000 views — their most-watched ever.
Most of their followers never make it to Java. This is ARAE's first workshop outside of Java, and it's happening in Bali. Sumberkima and this part of Bali is the last truly unspoiled part of the island - what people who’ve never been here think Bali is.
This retreat is theirs. I'm joining it — curating the Zen to Live framework around it, weaving in Restore, Nature, Eco, Nourish, Move, Community and Sacred pillar experiences: native tree planting, restoration coral planting, ayurvedic dosha readings by Dr. Agung, temple visits wearing the selendangs you eco-printed. The art is ARAE's. The lens is that of The Zen Guy.
Mornings collecting leaves. Afternoons pressing them into fabric and leather using an all-natural, vegetable and mineral dyeing technique practiced for centuries. Organic meals overlooking the Bali Sea and West Bali National Park.
The kind of week that resets something you didn't know needed resetting.
This retreat confirms when we reach 10 participants. Register by July 31 — those who register will receive a Stripe payment link to secure their place with a $500 deposit. Places are limited to 20.
Zen Mornings in Paris — with Marie-Laetitia & Me
For the anglophone seriously considering Paris — or who just arrived and wants to stop feeling like a tourist. A guided morning in a real arrondissement, through a Zen lens, with someone who actually lives there.
Marie-Laetitia is a fluent English-speaking Parisian who knows the 14th arrondissement the way most people know their own living room. Boulangerie. Market. Church. Garden. Onion soup. Every stop mapped to the Zen to Live framework — so you leave knowing how to actually live here, not just visit.
This is the morning that answers the question: could I belong here?
