In-Person Cultural Arts Trip - Beautiful & Beguiling Bali

Sat, Sep 26-(Wed, Oct 7 or Sun, Oct 11), 2026

Often regarded as a destination for honeymooners and affluent beach bums, the Indonesian island of Bali offers a rich, albeit overlooked, ancient heritage, beautiful arts & crafts, deep religious & cultural traditions, forward-thinking economic and environmental practices and much more.

Discover diverse facets of the “Island of the Gods,” from ancient temples to lush rice fields, from traditional villages to idyllic beaches, from the visual & performing arts to the culinary arts and more!

Although the predominant religion in Indonesia is Islam, over 90% of this island’s citizens practice Balinese Hinduism; a unique mix of Hindu doctrines, animistic beliefs – the belief that natural objects, natural phenomena, and the universe itself have souls – the worship of Buddhist saints and local customs. Visit historic sites important to this interesting mix of practices and beliefs.

Extend your stay to explore and enjoy Bali’s stunning coast, stroll a pristine beach, splash or snorkel in the shimmering aquamarine-to-cobalt Bali Sea, and learn about the local sea ecology.

With a rich itinerary of traditional and “off the beaten path” sites and experiences, this exciting journey is not to be missed!
