DISCOVERING TRADITIONAL HEALING PRACTICES
IN BALI
JUNE 17-29, 2025
This trip offers an in-depth excursion into the culture of Bali through the eyes of the Balinese, for those who wish to observe, appreciate, and experience traditional healing methods, at the same time enhancing their own health with healer visits and traditional massage.
Since the early 1970’s, there has been a dynamic and extended movement in the west to explore traditional medicine from many ancient cultures. The study of Asian medicine has been in the forefront of this movement, particularly Chinese acupuncture, herbal medicine and the practice of Feng Shui. This healing arts trip is conceived as an introduction to the philosophy and use of traditional medicine in Bali: both internal and external, material and spiritual.

For 25 years, Brenda has combined energy work, spiritual counseling, and hypnotherapy with a client-centered approach rooted in transpersonal psychology. She believes that a healthy persona comes from self-exploration and the willingness to process our emotions and to discover our true self through all of life’s gifts and lessons.

Syama Manzo. Level 4 Balinese Energy Healer and mother of three beautiful humans.
Syama’s healing journey began in her early twenties when she had an immune system breakdown that left her unable to work for over 2 years. As western medicine alone could not help and in many ways contributed to the breakdown, she began looking for other options. Eventually she found out what her body needed to heal from a group that combined many modalities and worked together as a team. This inspired her deep desire to understand how healing occurs.
Since then, she has delved into the cutting edge of health, diets and lifestyle choices. Of all the pathways of health experienced, the most profound that she shares is using Traditional Balinese energy medicine, energetic surgery, and Usui/Christic Reiki techniques.
These ancient modalities have the capacity to cause healing in muscles, bones, organs, and the entire neurological system. Healing for body, mind & spirit. Using her hands to identify blockages, clear and remap energy meridians to guide your body back to its most optimal flow.
She offers In-Person, Virtual, and Remote healing sessions.
