someone else can.” “What value could I
provide to people?” “What is my
expertise all in all?” She realized that she
love writing Japanese calligraphy and
writing is the best she could do. She
decided to be a professional calligrapher.
Her vision is inspiring people with writing
Japanese calligraphy for hope. People
who saw her works will feel energy and
never forget their emotion. She will
continue to create artworks of Japanese
calligraphy that could make people

love for sharks. She actively approaches schools in Singapore to present and talk about shark conservation as well as

research trips to Lombok since September 2012 in order to find out about the shark fishing and shark fin trading going
on in Tanjung Luar, which has devastating impacts on ocean sustainability. Deciding that having tourists come on boat
trips making use of the shark fishermen's shark boats could be a viable alternative livelihood with equitable income for
the fishermen as well, she is getting tourists to choose responsible tourism and make a difference with their tourist
dollar by coming on the boat trips and talking to the fishermen about why they want to still sharks in the oceans, soft

Beverly Sasagawa Palar
Holistic Health Practitioner, Yoga teacher, Health, detox and Lifestyle consultant
Health, Yoga / Bali, Indonesia, Shanghai,China
Prior to embarking on a career as a yoga instructor in Ubud, Beverly was working in the biggest Fortune 500 companies in 
Commercial real estate, Fashion and Media industries in Los Angeles and Shanghai. Although she has a diverse portfolio of  
experience and skills from sales to property and media, after almost a decade in the demanding corporate trenches and living  
in fast-paced urban environments from Singapore to Los Angeles to Shanghai, she suffered a personal and health crisis that  
led her to finally change paths in order to take charge of her mental and physical health.
In early 2013, Beverly moved to Ubud, the hillside spiritual mecca and heart of Bali, Indonesia to facilitate her health recovery. 
There she received her yoga training certificate and began teaching private yoga and meditation classes in health and detox retreats in Bali. Over a period
of six months, she nursed herself back to balance using purely holistic and natural methods and is forever indebted to the ancient practice of yoga as well
as the ancient healing modalities of Meditation and Ayurveda and spirituality of Ubud for helping her regain her health and happiness.
Beverly received training in Ayurvedic principles at the Amrtasiddhi Ayurvedic detox center in Ubud. Being Bali’s only reputable and authentic Ayurvedic
center, she studied under the personal instruction of their highly-regarded owner and physician, Dr. Sunjata. She has also received training in Vipassana
meditation as taught by the reverend Buddha Goutama and continues to further her education and experience in various methods of complementary holistic
healing modalities such as sound therapy and raw food preparation.
Beverly is the co-creator of myYoga-the kids and youth yoga and empowerment program being implemented schools and daycare centers in Bali. She
teaches weekly kids and youth yoga as the Taman Hati orphanage and Sjakti-tarius home for mentally-disabled children in Ubud. Having experienced firsthand the life-changing benefits of a regular yoga and meditation practice, she feels it is a critical skill-set for the children of today who will become the
leaders of tomorrow. Along with experiential learning professional, Kimberly Otsuji from Michigan, she dreams of the day in our near future that all children
will taught the tools of mindfulness in early childhood education. With increased self-awareness, empathy, self-esteem and confidence that one gains from
these ancient practices, Beverly believes that we can make our world a kinder and more peaceful world when each person takes responsibility for their own
health and happiness through yoga, meditation and other holistic health principles.
Beverly is involved in many upcoming health and wellness projects in Bali, Shanghai, Singapore, H.K including Villa Cassamia-your healthy home. A brand
new one-stop villa location in Bali that serves as a center for the community to learn yoga as well as about raw food, Meditation, Reiki, Crossfit, surfing,

Ryan Michael Gelig
Founder of Aguaventure.com
Lifestyle, Food, Travel / Singapore
Ryan Michael Gelig is an innovator and entrepreneur with a passion for food, travel and using technology for social good.
He has recently founded Aguaventure, a platform for travellers to discover and book travel activities in Asia Pacific, and
where entrepreneurs and travel companies can list those activities. As a backpacker himself, he has seen how
fragmented small travel companies are and many of them still offline especially in Southeast Asia. Technology can bridge
this gap by aggregating exciting adventure activities offered by these companies, and at the same time making it easier
for travellers to discover and pay for these activities.
Prior to that he has worked in various software and product development engineering roles in both manufacturing and
R&D for Timex’ digital watches and sensors, Philips Semiconductors’ integrated circuits and Advanced Micro Devices’
desktop, server and tablet microprocessors.
As a university student in 2004, he and his friends spearheaded and raised funds for Link Yakal, an infrastructure project
that has since provided free internet access to thousands of his fellow university dormitory residents to spur academic
fervor.
He has also launched other startup projects such as SendSMS and a Food App that has a combined user base of more
than 150,000.
It is his mission to contribute to enabling developing countries to leapfrog development by leveraging on the advances in
cloud, social and mobile technologies.
