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.

2. 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 for the development of lean cultures.
v WOW Bali aims to develop systemic, holistic, transdisciplinary, and participatory learning
experiences to cultivate human’s highest capabilities, our“creative potentials”.
v 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 and best
working practices. We believe that sharing of best practices, showcased sustainability, can yield
valuable impacts not only for individuals and groups involved but also for the communities within
which they work or function.
v Through collaborations, we seek to co-develop ecological communities for 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. Also of equal importance, to evolve and develop a
conservation for dynamic practices of the “Cultural Wealth” in thousand years old cultures that has
lived in abundance prior to the monetary based systems.
Programs | Offerings
v 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.
v 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 the divine. We have researched and affirmed
simple regenerative wellness processes (universal modalities) based on traditional cultures (and
native intelligences that simply connect us back to nature. These are inherent reminders from our
own creative autonomy within, which inspires experiential dynamics towards sustainable human
transformation.
v 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.
