YAYASAN GLOBAL BANJAR INTERNASIONAL
WOW BALI INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE
Bali, Indonesia
About WOW Bali
Wow Bali is an internationally recognized program on regenerative
sustainable development that started in 2012 in Bali, Indonesia. WOW Bali
Co-founder and Creative Director Hai Dai Nguyen developed the
Sustainable Dynamics Framework based on his case studies of grassroots
sustainable community-based ecotourism best practices in Bali, Indonesia
since 2008. “Sustainable Dynamics” are the forces and properties that
enable a community to coexist and operate interdependently.
WOW Bali program and projects are sustained through mutualism and
creative economics with its partners, allowing for the regeneration of new
initiatives. The program used to operate under the Yayasan Tri Hita Karana
Bali, an organization founded on the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana—the
core of the Balinese belief system, which traces the “causes of goodness”
on a harmonious relationship between God, people, and nature. Tri Hita
Karana Bali exists to educate both adults and children about organic farming
practices. Through its various projects and workshops, it is able to sustain
its advocacy towards preserving the Bali culture and raise environmental
awareness through the principles of permaculture.
In 2015, after three years of developing sustainable local initiatives, WOW Bali evolved from being a
program into its very own Yayasan Global Banjar Internasional with the support of its long-term local
partners.

This initiative for
international collaborations
on sustainable development
builds upon the existing
efforts and aspirations of
people behind Wow Bali, a
program in Ubud, Bali,
Indonesia, that has a mission
to co-develop “regenerative”
processes for a more
“Sustainable Dynamic” living
and learning (with)in 21st
century communities.

Vision | Mission
WOW Bali envisions a world in which everyone is happy, healthy, and
prosperous by virtue of living in complete harmony with the “dynamic”
(forces and properties) of human culture and the natural ecosystem. This
would be an evolutionary systemic solution of sustainable cultures here
in Asia and most indigenous and traditional cultures of the world.
Our mission is to co-develop “regenerative” processes for a more “Sustainable Dynamic” (S|D) in living
and learning for 21st
century communities. (S|D) designs are based on human-centered processes and
evolutionary design system for the integration of local wisdom (native intelligence) with applied modern
methodologies.
WOW Bali aims to develop systemic, holistic, transrdisciplinary, and participatory learning
experiences to cultivate human’s “creative potentials”.
The goals for international collaborations in various areas of sustainable development (such as, but
not limited to sustainable ecotourism and agrotourism) are premised upon the “regenerative” (easy-
to-do; simple-to-share) processes that WOW Bali fosters, based on today’s living culture. We believe
that sharing of practices, when sustained, can yield valuable impacts not only for individuals and
groups involved but also for the communities within which they work or function.
Through collaboration, we seek to co-develop ecological communities in the long run so that
sustainable practices can thrive and regenerate. They will be showcased in various platforms to serve
as models for others to emulate.
Programs | Offerings
LEARNING EXCHANGE
For WOW Bali, learning is a dynamic process and is unique for every individual. We support and apply
‘active learning’ (action research) methodologies to inspire creativity and maximize individual learning
experience.
DYNAMIC WELLNESS (aka ‘WOW Dynamics’)
Learning about the natural dynamics of the human body has a lot to teach us about sustainable living,
our relationships with others, with nature, and with the divine. We have researched and affirmed
simple regenerative wellness processes (universal modalities) based on traditional cultures and native
intelligences that connect us back to nature. These are simple reminders of own creative human’s
autonomy, which inspires experiential dynamics towards sustainable human transformation.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
WOW Paradise authentic learning tours fuse ecological, academic, cultural and adventure tours to
give you a one-of-a kind travel and learning experience. The sustainable eco-villages (WOW Smart
Centers) we are co-developing in Bali will welcome you and share a piece of paradise that you can
bring with you long after your visit.
CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS

Building a sustainable future requires us to work together. WOW Bali International Initiative supports
and practices creative collaborations with various stakeholders through mutualism partnerships in
sustainable dynamics.
Milestones and Major Projects
In January 2013, WOW Bali and Yayasan Tri Hita Karana
Bali was case studied by Presidio Graduate School for
Sustainable Management for IDEO’s HCDConnect
sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with
their effort on “Permaculture to Save a Disappearing
Culture.”
In July 2013, WOW Bali presented Sustainable
Community-based EcotOURism Best Practices at the
Grassroots Level during the Asia Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) and the United Nations World
Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Workshop on Low

showcase ecotourism as an effective tool for cultural
preservation and affective tool for people development.
The S|D Framework was introduced during this
presentation, highlighting holistic participation as a key
element in community-based sustainable development.
Whereas WOW Bali focused on systemic, holistic, interdisciplinary and participatory eco-solutions
based on evolutionary design thinking, UNWTO Acting Director of the Sustainable Development of
Tourism Programme, Dr. Dirk Glaesser, emphasized that the “important first lesson (in sustainability):
a holistic view is necessary.”
In August 2013, WOW Bali and Sekar Bumi Farm were
showcased observational case studies in back-to-back
international conferences: International Centre for
Research on Agroforestry (ICRAF) during the 6th Annual
International Ecosystem Services Partnership
Conference and to the Asian Productivity Organization
(APO) Workshop on Agro-tourism Development and
Marketing for Improving Farm Household Incomes.
These learning exchanges paved the way towards the
long term development of the Cultural Wealth
Collaboration Project; a collaborative conservation effort
that witnesses the evolution of traditional lifestyles and
cultures in the midst of a monetary-based society.

WOW Bali consulted for Netflix Dance
Documentary “We Speak Dance” this year,
showcasing how affective cultural dance via
WOW ‘sustainable dynamics’ can affirm cultural
uniqueness; beyond the aesthetic of dance and
into using dance and the arts as effective tools in
socio-cultural development. This process goes
back to the backbone of socio-cultural
development—traditional beliefs that came
before dance and the arts were monetized in
performance-based processes. The return of sacredness within dance and the arts connect to one’s
creative autonomy; a self-directed course of one’s wellbeing as an offering to their highest self and
divinity. This connects people to human’s highest aptitude—creativity for connecting the dots in
everyday living.
WOW Bali in a partnership with Bali Flow Temple
for a dynamic exchange in collaborations to
integrate WOW Dynamics framework within
creative movements that reconnect one’s flow;
fused by the elementals for a deeper
understanding of connectedness and intentions.
Develop one’s action learning as an inspiration
towards creative movements; inspiring creative
autonomy as a sacred offering that is imprinted in
our cognitive minds via the elementals of fire, water, wind or earth. In short, where ever creative
mind goes, blood follows and where blood goes energy manifests; impregnate this manifestation
with intentions and imagination then healing begins.
WOW Bali launched “Sacred Adventures” in this
inaugural cultural exchange with Ratu Pedenda
(High Priest of the Balinese Calendar) famous for
WARIGA BELOG based on ancient systems used
by the Balinese for farming, now has evolved into
self-management and personal wellness
guidance system, a native intelligence used by
collaborative networks. The cultural exchange
bridged the Balinese cultural aesthetics with
modern cultures and traditional modalities of
wellness for global regenerative development. Ratu Pedanda shared the application of the Balinese
calendar and how events such as ceremonies and celebrations can help build communities. Under
WOW framework and instructional design via technology regenerative development, Ratu Pendanda
and WOW Team will co-create wellness, creative autonomy and transformative leadership solutions
for sustainable dynamics toward optimum regenerative exchange.
