Dejado por el workawayer (Joey) para el anfitrión

This was the place to be during the global pandemic of 2020!
As my first workaway, I could not have asked for a better experience.
During my stay here I met some of the most beautiful, unique, loving, and gifted individuals I've ever known.
In the two and a half months I lived here several of us formed a real solid community, all thanks to the… read more owner, Shankari.
She's owned this property for 30 years and through constant work and dedication she's transformed it from raw land into a beautiful open air, mosaic laden, mansion-sized villa with multiple structures and mosaic artwork weaving in and out all the way into the surrounding jungle. The property is alongside a large river that leads to the nearby ocean. Swimming in the river is quite nice. Less than a ten minute walk to the beach alongside the river path. Bali cows roaming, grazing nearby green hills.
Shankari is a smart and special woman, a 'see-er', and someone you would like to know.
Under her direction we painted the whole 4 story 'big house', cleared out the ever-encroaching jungle to make way for a teak- wood constructed vegetable garden, painted dozens of ceiling mirrors to make a reflective mandala themed work of ceiling-art, and repaired the roof of the dance studio, among other minor improvements.
As a workawayer here, the lodging is more than adequate and quite peaceful. There are multiple kitchens to cook in, and local markets with fresh veggies and fruits are minutes away. Many cats to cuddle with. Shankari's grandchildren were a delight and playing with them in the garden daily was a highlight. It's easy here to let go and embrace your inner child as well as your creativity. A place to be present and fully embrace living in the now. It's a safe, positive space for learning and teaching new things. While here we practiced yoga on the daily. Also group meditation every night at 18:00. Although there was always a lot going on there was never any pressure to do anything. Freedom to do as you please. Join in the morning acro-yoga, or go read a book for hours by yourself in one of the many lounge areas overlooking the river and ocean.
I'll never forget the time spent here. Living, working, loving, breathing, sweating, talking, growing, all with the flavor of life running through us while the Bali storms stormed and the jungle bugs sang the night away. I met the love of my life here. Maybe you will too.
As Shankari would say, "Rock n' roll"...

First of all, the place is incredible, really lush and green, next to the river, where you can swim in. Only a short walk alongside the river, you can reach the ocean to surf, relax or have a bite to eat at the surf camp, I can… read more

Staying with Shankari was absolutely amazing! Her place is right next to the river where you can go for a swim or just relax and enjoy the nice hot volcanic water. The work that we did there wasn't even work really. Our job was to help her make another mosaic that was supposed to be used as a yoga platform. We worked 3h every day (except Sundays)… read more

I spent 5 days here. She currently refurbishes her place and I did mosaïque work for 3 hours each afternoon, which leave plenty of time to relax by the beach or surfing if you are into it (nothing much to do around). I also helped Nur in the kitchen for our Saturday meal, I loved it !!

This was our first workaway experience and we really were not sure what to expect. The contact prior to departure was somewhat limited (we tried to arrange Skype call upon hosts request but it didn't happen), but email was ok.
We were greeted on the day of arrival by Jiah and his staff members helped us move into one of the hotel cottages. Our… read more jaws dropped when we saw their hotel retreat place. Bogna said she'd never seen something more beautiful. We had the entire mini villa to ourselves, with hot shower/bath, balcony with a stunning view, all that and 15 min walk to the beach. The villa we stayed in first had a loose floorboard and although we were offered another, we were loath to move because it was so lovely! We eventually did and found that it was a tad smaller but equally nice:)
At the beginning it wasn't 100% clear of what and how were expected to work, especially Abdi. It turned out alright though. He was given initial direction by a workawayer who had already spent a fortnight there and knew what to do. This was testimony to how well he himself was initially directed. Abdi spent the first half of his fortnight writing copy for the website which proved to be an experience in creativity and wordplay, skills he likes using anyway! So this suited him well. Similar skills were employed when he worked with an already published book. The object was to put into a format which would sell online and so he researched feasible avenues and made suggestions. He read the book first in order to write chapter previews and was heartened to find that he became the impetus for them continue this project. She was grateful to have made contact with him and he was glad he could be a motivating factor. It was easy to communicate with her and she was always clear on what she liked and didn’t like.

Bogna did photography - from jewellery in the mini studio set, jewellery shoot with the model which would go on their website (a tiring, but super exciting day), through to the hotel retreat place. She also made a project of a signboard and after all that shooting photography was done, she had loads to edit ☺ Jiah and Dian were very clear about what they liked and what they didn’t in the photography. Expectations were high, no pressure hehe! There was another workawayer photographer at that time and Bogna learnt a lot from him. There were also other workawayers, doing various jobs - website building, yoga etc. Although we were strangers to each other, we quickly became friends and work was fun! We were expected to work about 5h per day, although it varied. Jiah and his wife Dian were quite flexible with our working hours and days off to take. They are very welcoming people, we ended up being invited and involved in their family life and activities. We had an opportunity to participate in the Full Moon ritual, watched a movie together 1 evening, a lot of the time Jiah and Dian took us with them for a lunch. We also were invited to a formal dinner (including one with Balinese dancers) a couple of times and met a wonderful lady behind it all - Jiah's mother.
In return for our hard work, apart from a great accommodation, we were served breakfasts. They were really filling and yummy. The staff at the retreat couldn't have been more helpful. Whether it was cleaning our room every day and providing fresh towels, serving us breakfasts at the restaurant or just greeting us at reception and fulfilling any of our needs, the whole staff was extremely friendly.
With about a week left to go of our stay, Abdi sustained knee and forearm injury by cleverly falling off a motorbike kindly lent by Dian. The family looked after him as well as he could've hoped and so avoided any infection or further complication. They were truly more concerned about us and our wellbeing than the damage we made to (their) bike. What mattered, the family did not pretend to be anyone else, they were themselves, showed a lot of patience and human side as well.
We were basically treated pretty much like family and were free to use any of the numerous pools and chill in whatever areas of the retreat we liked. They arranged a motorbike to use (before the accident!), also. The freedom felt good but the work still had to be done. Dian made some legendary Pavlova during our stay!
We had planned to stay and work at the place for about 7-9 days. We ended up staying for 2 weeks. We loved it.

This was our very first Workaway experience and we are so glad we got to spend 9 days with the lovely family and owners of this retreat.

At first, it was a little bit difficult for everyone to understand what was expected of us and to get into the rhythm of things but once we did- it was nothing but fun and team work. My boyfriend, Dago took care… read more of the photography projects (as he was the photographer) while I helped out the best I could with the various other projects (namely taking pictures of the gorgeous jewelry, helping with ideas for the websites, posing for website pictures and helping Catherine- the yoga instructor there for a few weeks- with her yoga classes).

We met so many other people while being there (hello Shadie, Bogna, Abdi, Catherine and Rylee!), all there temporarily and sharing their skills for the various projects. We all became a big family and the group dynamic was so much fun.

Jiah and his wife Dian made us feel SUPER comfortable in their own house and let us stay in one of their guest rooms. Though the bathroom did not have hot shower (a bit hard for us at times), we quickly got used to our space and really liked it there. Every day, Noor (one of the house helpers) would clean our room and make our bed, which was SUPER appreciated.
All of their staff are really nice.

We also got to eat a delicious breakfast at the retreat everyday and really enjoyed our morning time with everyone, before getting to work.

Jiah and Dian were really flexible with the working hours and schedule so that was really nice too. They also invited us to have dinner with them twice and took us for lunch in a warung nearby (super nice food there and super cheap!).
Our last night in Balian, we got to meet the master mind behind the retreat and jewelry pieces, and also Jiah's mother as she was back from a trip abroad. It was so nice to meet her and to experience some traditional Balinese dancers while enjoying an amazing dinner.

Honestly, we will never forget our time here because of the people we have met and the amazing experience that it was to all work towards the several projects together. I learned so much about photography and website designing & marketing thanks to the other volunteers that were present at the same time as us.

Thank you so much for having us with you, Jiah and Dian and for your hospitality.
A big hug to baby Jada and to the new baby on the way too.

Best of luck with everything and until we meet again, I say: à bientôt.

Sarah & Dago.
