We're Going to BALI in September!
Will you join us for the journey of a lifetime?
September 12–22, 2025
We are thrilled to invite you to Bali for an extraordinary 10-day experience in one of the world’s most magical places. Guided by Larry Payne and Karen Waddell (who called Bali home for 28 years)—you'll have the rare opportunity to dive deep into the island’s natural beauty, its vibrant traditional and contemporary culture, and the spirit of a people who embody grace, artfulness, and hospitality.
Our home base for the trip will be Dwa Chandra, an exceptional private estate just outside of Ubud. This isn’t a hotel—it's a home, designed for connection, contemplation, and creativity.

Welcome to Dwa Chandra
Nestled in a serene river valley surrounded by rice terraces and ancient temples, Dwa Chandra is a luxurious sanctuary that captures the soul of Bali. The vision behind Dwa Chandra is one of sustainable living, community connection, and reverence for the land—all set within a beautifully crafted campus that feels both timeless and deeply inspiring.
At Dwa Chandra, you'll enjoy:
Gorgeous, spacious suites with indoor/outdoor bathrooms and full air conditioning
Three shimmering pools to relax and refresh
Three open-air yoga shalas
Lush gardens, meandering footpaths, and peaceful gathering spaces
A communal kitchen and dining area perfect for spontaneous gatherings
Easy access to a stunning eleventh-century temple carved into the river gorge
The intimate, welcoming spirit of a private home—not a commercial hotel
If you were with us at Hamsa Bhuvan in Kauai, imagine that same magical feeling—only elevated with even more beauty, comfort, and room to breathe.
