The Indonesian Island Bali is a dream destination with Ubud being its spiritual, cultural and artistic centre. Ubud is a mecca of raw and cooked vegan restaurants and has some of the world-best yoga centres. Before or after the classes, you will have plenty of opportunities to explore the Ubud lifestyle, go to music and dance events and nourish yourself in one of the many spas or nature walks through lush jungles to one of the hundreds of waterfalls in the closer surroundings.

During our trainings we encourage and facilitate participants to work together as a team and to create food magic together. When we can create something together with others, the joy, excitement and rewards multiply. The whole experience is so much more than just learning amazing recipes and cook delicious dishes (although this is an important part of the training, too😊). After the training, what usually stays with each one of us, are the friendships we make, the experiences we go through together and the feelings and emotions we share. It is truly a life-time experience!

The training ends with a final project in which you will apply all skills and knowledge you learned to develop your own creations. There are many highlights in our in-person trainings, but this is one of the top experiences because you will witness with your own eyes the magic of love of your creation and the transformation and heart-opening of the people with the food that you create.

Our Bali Academy classroom is located within the premisses of Sayuri Healing Food Café, where you can hang out, relax and connect with each other to build a beautiful community!! You will have sufficient time to enjoy the vibrant life happening in the cafe, have some coffee and our famous desserts and join many events happening at our studio!
