Bali Institute

 

 

Bali Institute for Global Renewal (BIGR) is the first world learning center that engages multicultural leadership and facilitation training, deep dialogue, indigenous wisdom, global consciousness, intergenerational activism and other action-oriented skills and training that empowers individuals, groups and organizations in their quest to make a difference in the world. BIGR includes a consortium of international organizations, corporations, NGOs, universities, thought leaders and consultants who are invested in advancing new forms of leadership training, intergenerational collaboration, nonviolent conflict resolution and social activism as part of a worldview that promotes a sustainable, humane and culturally-diverse life for all. BIGR will be offering an array of programs created and produced by the Institute as well as education and trainings offered by its partners.

 

Why Bali?

The island and culture of Bali serves as the integral component of these programs.  The foundation of this work has been based on the belief that Bali, unlike any other cultural environment in the world, will grow to be the hub for important dialogues, action-oriented multicultural/intergenerational experiences, and transformative social change.

 

Bali is one of the most peaceful, beautiful places on earth. It’s an ideal location for people from every part of the planet to explore new roles they can play in addressing major global issues. This rich culture has much to share with citizens of our shared planet about learning to heal, forgive and live harmoniously with one another and our beloved earth. Balinese rituals and arts all play a role in this new kind of learning.  Delegates attending our sessions will encounter the unusual way Balinese ceremony and performance converge with deepening dialogue and action-orient planning. All of the BIGR programs incorporate Balinese experiences, both linear and non-linear, into the transformative curriculum.
