Jason’s Cultural Immersion Experience

This activity was specially arranged to provide students with an in-depth cultural apprenticeship, allowing them to explore Bali’s art and traditions. Early on September 18th, they arrived at Balerung Stage in Ubud for an apprenticeship in Gamelan music and Legong dance. This was a rare opportunity, offering a precious cultural experience that is hard for regular tourists to access! The music and dances are steeped in rich history and cultural depth, providing the students with sensory and spiritual inspiration beyond classroom learning.
