Revivement @ Friends of Freyr Homestay

Bamboo Creative is about creating inclusive village homestay environments which are self-sustaining and maximise the potential for people with disabilities to be included in day-to-day activities and have enriching life experiences, while enabling parents/carers to have some supported time-out to REVIVE themselves and connect with each other through sharing time and engaging in fun tactile and creative activites (natrual building, crafts, gardening, cooking, music and other skills/activities) collectively ‘brought to the table’.

We are building relationships with our local community, neighbours, local foundations and international helpers, artists and skilled professionals, therapists and interns to develop a village environment where our ‘kids’ can have meaningful social inclusion with the support of local staff; where we can learn and wholistically engage with local culture and spend time Being In-Community.

We hope to enable a new Vision of our collective and individual experiences of living in an supportive environment… One which reconnects us as humans with our divine purposes and Essence – One of working together as a family… co-creating places where people can thrive… share cultures, share time, traditions, skills and experience.

We aim to move away from the Capitalistic mindset… towards a feeling of working together for the common good… to create spaces and relationships which are mutually beneficial and inclusive, opportunities to heal; time to be Human.

Twice a year we plan to facilitate Family Retreats (Group Gatherings) in Bali, and at other times, local and international families may come and stay with us individually and participate in our workshops and activities with a tailored program for your family’s needs depending on whether you would like more or less supported time and whether you would like to be accommodated at our bamboo home or prefer to stay at a hotel…. We offer in-house and mobile programs and support for special needs. We have connections with local hotels who have rooms which are accessible and are mindful of our guests/clients’ needs.

Our current programs contribute towards building the infrastructure of the greater village project and on creating a framework for special needs families to have a community and place of belonging and ease in Bali.

We offer exchange and paying capacity for friends/guests/visitors to come to Bali and learn about bamboo building, and in other ways to help with our project. Our Help-X page outlines ways we can exchange and help each other through our contribution. Also see our Internships page and Resident Artist page. Our BALI page covers what’s going on right now and ways you can join our current workshops/events… See our Crowd-Funding Campaign and help contribute to sustainable systems, natural learning, inclusive community and the completion of our First Bamboo Tiny House Homestay in BALI. ❤

Bamboo has been an outlet for me to unravel my mind and let go into just Being “IN” Experience. I find the bamboo soothing. I’m not the kind of person who can just sit and “meditate for hours” (though having a special needs child and the demands of this means i definitely SHOULD)… Bamboo is like an active meditation that engages my physical, mental and emotional bodies… And at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter that i produce a physical product or result (though that is nice for sure)… it’s more about being engaged in the Moment… feeling a relaxed momentum… and knowing that my daughter is safe and happy.

To be able to offer other parents and siblings of special needs children an environment which is nurturing and supportive, through self-expression, inclusion and opportunities to play/work/craft together, connect with their own creative source and share in this community-building experience … that’s my dream.
