Surapsari is an accomplished Balinese dancer, teacher on Balinese dance, religion and culture, and certified yoga
instructor. Surapsari, a long time resident of Bali, studied Balinese temple dance with internationally acclaimed masters
from the villages of Ubud and Batuan. The intense dance training she received invited her to search for the spiritual
dimension of Balinese dance, which culminated into the extensive study on Balinese cosmology. She received an
initiation ceremony (mawinten) and spiritual name, Surapsari from Ida Pedanda Temuku, a high priest in Tampaksiring,
Bali. Surapsari co-founded a Balinese dance company, Purnama Sari in 2000 and has been performing and teaching
Balinese mysticism in the U.S. and Bali. She holds a Master’s degree in intercultural relations from Lesley University in
the U.S. and published “My Bali – memories of the Island of the Gods”, a collection of essays on Balinese dance,
culture, and religion in 2005. Surapsari is a certified alignment based yoga instructor and is registered through the
Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour professional level.

Living a harmonious life is a key to happiness. Where there
is harmony, we witness beauty. Where harmony is present,
we experience love. The people of Bali have been
embracing the esoteric teaching of harmony since ancient
times. Listen to the wisdom from “The Island of Gods” and
see how you can apply the knowledge to your daily life.This
class explores Balinese cosmology with movement, prayer,
mantra, storytelling, and meditation. It invites the
participants to seek their inner sacred space where their
emotions, thoughts, and perceptions are brought to
harmony. The participants will learn about key concepts of
Balinese philosophy such as; Sekala-Niskala (the
material/spiritual worlds), Rwa Bhineda (balance between
opposite forces),Buana Alit-Buana Agung (micro/macro-
cosmos), and Tri-Hita-Karana (The harmonious
relationships with God, human beings, and environment).
The goal of this class is to lead the participants into a
greater understanding of the archetype of Sang Hyang
Widhi Wasa, the supreme God in Balinese cosmology.
