commune

we cook and eat together everyday. generosity. communion, and the alchemy of food come together as we take turns making healthy nourishment for mind and soul. we grow things. gather things. and cook them. we trade ideas and traditions, work together, collaborate fiercely, and use our hands. we create, try, design, and love. everyone contributes to the communal kitchen and the deep connections that emerge from it.

learn by doing

less thinking. more trying. experimenting. failing. revising. and redoing. we are self directed creative learners working closely together to uncover new ways to connect to the magic of this small piece of earth. we make things by hand. cooperate. problem solve. and cultivate as we celebrate the largely untapped power of our good human skills and the constantly morphing life that is all around us. beyond money at all costs, there are so many new ways of working and being that are better for people and planet.

 re-connect

at the heart of our work is the very real energy of the something bigger to which we all belong. this magical connection awaits all who stick their feet in the ground at big love.

we embody the web of life and our place in it. how do you cultivate and express this limitless energy and share it far and wide? print. design. speak. draw. film. craft. move. paint. sew. act. the interconnection of all things is everywhere.

  re-skill

mass education and the one size fits all world teaches us to look outside of ourselves – and do what we are told? what do others think of us? how can we do it right?  Who we are; our way; our unique is lost.  Allowing this small seed of who we are to germinate and grow organically, from the ground up is the single biggest positive contribution we can make to ourselves and our collective humanity.

at big love everyday is embued with the possibilities of this unfolding.  we’re combining alternative learning and the creative arts to find our way back and then share these experiences far and wide. YAY.

get growing

we’ve taken a page from the highly successful tree as a guide for how we might do some growing from the ground up.

we’re building a network of tiny acts, small experiments, little campaigns, and other impactful expressions of what happens when who we really are and the something bigger to which we all belong are aligned.

what part of this new earth rising is yours?

reclaim your path.  uncover your natural talents, and superpowers (often ignored by the one size fits all world).  explore the power of interbeing. use all this potential to make something new in the world and help others to do the same.

an out of this world collaboration and the truly mind-blowing, natural beauty of rural Bali awaits.  ready to experiment, try, make, create, and express the power of human like never before?  the energy of life itself and many new ways to share the big love imbedded inside it are waiting to be explored.

Big Love is based in a small rural village between Ubud and Sanur. our work is 100% not for profit.  reach out and chat.  ask. suggest. we are human being powered. we rarely bite. we look forward to hearing from you.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.

from letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke
