Julia, a yoga teacher, shares her inspiring journey of self-discovery, moving from a disciplined upbringing in Russia to finding her path in yoga and personal growth. After initially finding solace in yoga amidst her military family's strict routine, Julia's practice led her to deeper experiences in Bali, where she connected with the Acro Yoga community and took a transformative trek up Mount Agung. Her story highlights the transformative power of yoga in overcoming fears and finding purpose. Julia's journey took her across Egypt, Turkey, and Thailand, eventually leading her to Bali. In Bali, her yoga practice deepened as she started teaching even before completing her formal 200-hour teacher training.

Random thoughts. 7 I am going to take you to a small island in Indonesia. You may or may not have heard of Bali. This is a small island with about 3 million people give or take a few. Probably less now because of Covid 19. A very simple example of the garbage problem on this island starts as such. For one, it is always overrun by tourists that mostly do not give a damn. Then there are the locals that will hurl their garbage into the river, so it disappears out of sight. Poof like magic the plastic bottle is gone and ends up downstream at the beach where someone will either pick it up or it washes out to the ocean. I have had a few discussions with people in different NGOs. Here is the big problem. There are many people involved in cleaning up Bali. Many NGOs do amazing work but guess what? They all have their own mandate, their own agenda on what they wish to achieve. Let's think of this little island named Bali as our world, our planet. All the people living in relative peace are surrounded by NGOs, government, religion, industry and politicians. Let's suppose here for a minute that I am very simple-minded and believe that we can work together with everyone. Let us all climb on top of the tallest volcano in Bali, Mount Agung. Let's all go 3000 m above sea level and work our way down. Collect the garbage from top to bottom and educate the locals, tourists and visitors alike on the harm of garbage and trash. Simple, how simple this would be right? Set up all the trash bins, set up recycling and certain local stations along the way. Teach locals to live sustainably and provide ways for them to profit by these methods. While we are there, we could set up battery stations powered by solar panels and so on. This would be a dream. Bring Bali back from the trash-filled little island to the green natural paradise it once was. Yet here are the problems we would face... future #fomo #depression #mentalhealth #crypto #politics #government #NFT #life #blog #blogging #finance #career #housing affordablehousing #mentalillness #deprssed #property #miserable #reality #inflation #FOMO #socialmedia #money #oppressed #liberals #conservatives #leftwing #rightwing #commonsense #seniors #billionair #globalwarming #zsoltzsemba --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zsolt-zsemba/message

We came back early to keep our round-the-world audio adventure on the road and this week, it's a brother-sister special as Fin's sister Maya joins him for the premiere of season three! How does living in Bali inspire somebody towards a career in the arts? What is home-schooling from the middle of the rice fields like? Where does Bali go from here after its tourism foundations were rocked first by the eruption of sacred volcano Mount Agung and then hit by the global pandemic that is COVID-19.

In Bali, north has a different meaning. North, or Kaja, is towards the mountain, Mount Agung to be exact. It is the direction towards the spiritual, where the Balinese orient themselves towards. This orientation is found throughout Balinese structures and is all about orienting oneself with the universe.

Last week, I got up at 4:30 in the morning to go photograph a volcano. I had to climb a mountain, another volcano that was opposite this one, Mount Agung, to get there. Mount Agung is the one that recently erupted, by the way. I wanted to get a photo of this volcano at sunrise before it was surrounded in clouds and shoot the photo through a temple gate. That's actually very photogenic and that's how I found out about this location in the first place. It's a very magical, serene, and spiritual location. About a year ago, or maybe six months ago, an instagrammer took a really amazing photo of this volcano in the middle of the temple gate and it went viral on Instagram. Now, people have been flocking to this spot to take a similar photo, myself included. And so, I invited my friends to join me on this. I didn't actually expect them to wake up that early just to take a photo for Instagram, because to them, it was just an adventure. So I had four friends waiting for me at 5am, and we set off in our motorbikes. We had to drive an hour through the dark and wind our way to this curvy mountain road up to the temple known as the Temple of Thousand Steps, which is actually has 2100 steps. It was perfect. We hiked up the first set of steps to the main temple gate and there was Mount Agung with the sunrise hitting it from behind us right through the middle of the temple gate, and we got the perfect shot. We noticed when we arrived that there were three or four local Balinese people standing, staffing the donation booth where you register. They ask for a donation. It was before sunrise that they are out there working. And I thought, wow, this is amazing, right? An Instagram viral photo has driven so many tourists here that they are staffing this temple full-time with people to accept donations. They told us that the donations would be spread around the village to any of the temples that needed maintenance or upkeep. As we were walking through this main temple complex area, we noticed all of the fresh gold paint on all of the temple artwork and there were new temple dragons made of marble. So clearly, this had brought this temple, location, and village a lot of tourism money. Some people might say that because you are going there for a photograph, you are not experiencing it authentically, as you would if you didn't have a camera. They say that you just have to go and appreciate the beauty and serenity of the surroundings. But you see, going to an Instagrammable location creates its own special type of adventure, its own special pilgrimage, if you will. You may also find in several locations that you want to go to because you want to recreate a photograph and make art, or you simply want to see this thing because it has been in photos all over Instagram or Pinterest, which is another visual story-telling medium. And so you create your travels around taking photos or experiencing instagrammable locations. It makes your travel  more meaningful as it gives you a mission or quest. Its like having a photo bucket list. As we were there taking our photos, a Korean couple arrived with two local Balinese photographers. We gave them their chance to get photos without us getting in the way. They were getting their engagement photos taken. So, they had an about three-hour drive from the touristy area. To get there, you had to leave at about 3 am. It takes a very dedicated person to go and capture these images and they hired two photographers to come out and take this photo. I'm assuming they could only have known about this out-of-the-way temple in an un-populated and un-touristy area of Bali because of social media, especially Instagram. So, if you want to know more about Instagram, I have a couple of great interviews with Brendan Burns and Elise Darma. Both of them can teach you how to grow your Instagram and use it primarily for business. I have been using mine to get free hotel stays and free adventure trips and connect with people that eve...

Peace talks sometimes fail before they even begin. A complete political breakdown has been the case with Syria the last 7 times Bashar Al Assad's government and the opposition have gathered to talk. However, with Russia, regional powerhouses and others getting involved, the peace talks in Geneva taking place this week might have a chance of ending this brutal war. Mina Al Droubi comes to us with the story as she reports from the UN headquarters in the Swiss city. Mount Agung in Bali is threatening the lives of tens of thousands as it could be on the brink of eruption. Theodora Sutcliffe, a reporter based in Bali explains the likelihood of a natural disaster and what it means for the tens of thousands stranded on the Indonesian Island. Paul Peachey, a reporter from the National's London bureau, produced and reported on how the Muslim community in Manchester, UK is dealing with the 500 per cent increase in hate crime six months after the suicide attacks at the Ariana Grande concert.

It's pretty hard to make your way to Bali at the moment. Mount Agung has spewed ash and steam more than 19,000 feet. We heard all about it this morning when University of Tasmania volcanologist Rebecca Carey joined Blackers for Breakfast. Ben O'Shea from the Inside Cover of The West Australian had a whole heap of media movement goss and Steve from Australind did his best in the 8:30 Eight.

For noen uker siden begynte vulkanen Mount Agung på Bali å frese. Vulkanen skjuler et enormt magmakammer. 185.000 mennesker ble evakuert , men så kom det ikke noen utblåsning. Nå er indoneserne på vei tilbake til rismarkene sine under vulkanen, selv om jordskjelvene fortsetter og varsellampene blinker rødt. Men hvordan oppleves det å være ved vulkankanten når helvete bryter løs? Det får du oppleve i denne ukens VITEN SPESIAL.

We’re on the cusp of a possible environmental crises in Bali. Mount Agung is about to erupt. We don’t know when, but Bali remains on high alert. It’s now more than two weeks since the volcanic threat level was raised to its maximum. Earth tremors are a daily event and as many as 150,000 people – mostly farmers and herders – have been evacuated a safe distance from the volcano’s blast zone. We’re rushing this episode out with things still in flux. Bali is my home. It’s imperative that people understand how things look on the ground. My guest is Rucina Ballinger. A resident of Bali for more than thirty years, Rucina first came to Bali when she was in her twenties. She fell for the place and a guy who happened to be part of the Balinese royal family. They got married and since then she’s dedicated herself to the people of Bali. She’s also one of the most thoughtful and insightful commentators on Balinese culture and tradition. I wanted to ask her what people are doing to prepare and to give us some perspective on how this impending eruption is understood from within Balinese culture. For nearly three weeks, authorities have been calling the eruption of Mount Agung “imminent.” Seismic activity continues unabated and though it’s taking longer than expected the danger is just as real today as it was weeks ago when the alarm was first sounded. In the meantime, people are preparing for the worst, gathering supplies, stockpiling bottled water, and running blankets and tents to the tens of thousands environmental refugees that are camped out on the outskirts of the so-called “red zone.” While the government has planning teams and military on the ground to help orchestrate the evacuation, NGOs are playing their part as well; rallying volunteers and filling the gaps by focusing mostly on supply-lines, providing water purification systems, and safety masks to protect against the threat of toxic ash.
