The 4th International Bali Meditators Festival

Carrying the theme, "One Earth, One Sky, One Humankind: Towards Global Peace and Interfaith Harmony through Meditation”, the Fourth International Bali Meditators Festival will be held very soon in Ubud Bali. This will happen on September 20-23, 2012.

Many individuals have been attracted to this festival that this year, a more varied list of participants has indicated their participation. Among the countries where these participants come from include United States, France, Brazil, the Netherlands, Japan, Australia, Germany, and Malaysia. In Indonesia alone, being the host country, many participants will also come from Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Lampung, and Kalimantan. This year, more than 1,000 participants are expected to arrive, surpassing last year’s record.

This festival will be very helpful as speakers on yoga techniques and meditation will share their knowledge.

“IBMF 2012 shall be the place where people meditate and celebrate in love and togetherness. While meditation builds and strengthens human beings’ inner cores, celebration is the way to share the overwhelming joy. Together, participants are going to re-learn the forgotten language of love, and create a path towards a peaceful world and a united mankind,” said an official statement.

It has been known that Bali is a growing spiritual destination. And according to Bagus Sudibya, Deputy Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Tour and Travel Agencies in Bali, many foreign tourists have been recorded to have requested spiritual tours on the island.

He also said that this shows Bali’s potential for becoming a real and meaningful tourism destination. Bagus acknowledges that spiritual tourism has so much contribution to giving Bali’s tourism development a better and deeper meaning.

This activity will not only make the Bali luxury villas and Bali villas resort fully-booked but will also convince people that Bali, the island of the gods, is indeed a romantic and spiritual place to be.
