LOCAL COLLABORATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL SHOWCASE
WOW’s collaboration projects and initiatives are inspired by the Balinese cultural and natural aesthetics. Local interdisciplinary partnerships and projects via private and public sectors have been created at the regional level over the period of three years. In the past couple of years, even tourists who come to Bali have taken interest on the work that WOW is doing through its celebration programs.
It is important to note of WOW collaborations’ interdisciplinary nature. Its partners and collaborators come from the different stakeholder groups, wanting to participate and co-operate under a common goal of sharing abundance to the rest of the world. They also share the same systemic holistic outlook towards sustainable development.
Interestingly, WOW’s long-term partners in sustainable dynamics are those who have sole proprietorship of businesses that espouse social-holistic (SO-HO) entrepreneurship. The partners are also observed to be economically sustainable and have strong global consciousness.

SEKAR BUMI FARM
Sekar Bumi Farm, owned and managed by Pak Ketut Subagia, is the largest organic heliconia farm in Bali and an agrotourism destination in Indonesia. It is co-developing a long-term partnership in “sustainable dynamics” with WOW Bali. The resource-sharing and joint efforts between the two serve to co-develop new ecological sustainability standards and solutions and showcase these for the Sustainable Agrotourism sector as a Cultural Wealth Area for the Regency of Gianyar in Bali, Indonesia.
Pak Made Gunawan, the chief of Kerta, has a vision for his village located at the tropical rainbelt region: to be the center for organic farming and agroforestry in Bali. While they have kept this concept and aspiration "inside them" for some time now, they have found it difficult to introduce this to the people. Given this missing piece of a puzzle, they got connected with Hai Dai, the co-founder of WOW Bali. This connection has led them towards a collaboration founded upon mutual trust. Currently, planning and development for the area has been ongoing between the WOW Bali Yayasan, the community and the government to prepare the community towards the achievement of this vision.
THE MANSION BALIWOOD
The Mansion Baliwood Resort Hotel is a five-star hotel dedicated to ecotourism. The WOW Media Lounge is housed within the compound of this five-star hotel, where it is co-developing programs to find solutions that could transform and improve efficiency in the use of resources in luxury settings. Through mutualism, WOW and The Mansion showcase sustainable development via social-holistic (SO-HO) participation and dynamic wellness programs, which are at the forefront of Eco-Life. The Mansion also supports events that showcase Cultural Fusion of Balinese theatrical and musical performances with modern music and dance from both eastern and western musical influences.
BINDU VILLAGE
Bindu Village is located ten minutes away from the international tourism hub of Ubud in Bali. Pak Gusti and Pak Tri represent the partners of WOW Bali in this project with their land offering of five hectares. WOW Bali aims to exemplify full sustainable dynamic collaboration thru this project. How?
