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.

Surapsari Megumi is a teacher and lecturer on Balinese religion and culture. She is also a Balinese dancer.
Surapsari, 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 obtained a Master’s degree in intercultural
relations from Lesley University in Massachusetts, U.S.A. She published “My Bali – memories of The Island of the
Gods”, a collection of essays on Balinese dance, culture, and religion in Japan.
