This year
photographer/adventurer, Dudley Levenson returned to Bali for three months of
work and exploration. We will see his colorful images, handcrafted
artifacts and many stories about the people and customs of this small tropical
island with a world-wide reputation. He will take us on a whirlwind tour
around the volcanic landscape, meet local characters and witness a full moon
purification ceremony at a riverside temple. You will visit a Balinese
home for a special blessing and see the amazing bamboo structures of the new
environmental green school. Finally we are invited to a spectacular
temple ceremony with costumes and dancing in which Balinese dramatize the
balance of good and evil in the world.
