First and Foremost on Our Minds

As we prepare to present the ancient relationship and deep bond between Bali people and their Island dogs at Animals for Asia Conference Kathmandu, our overwhelming concerns are directed toward the actions of Gunung Agung.  The power of Agung is unmistakable and the sacred ancient relationship and deep bond the majestic volcano has with its people and animals is equally unshakeable.

Everything on Bali is interconnected, its energy and atmosphere exudes that reality on a daily basis, exemplified and reflected through ritual and faith.  As Agung continues to power up, Bali people and their dogs will continue to have faith in knowing that everything happens for reasons, seen and unseen.

May the Karmic wheel of cause effect consequence turn quickly and may the ongoing relationship of Bali people their animals and Gunung Agung be strengthened even more by this latest explosive cycle.

​You are most certainly foremost in our thoughts and held very deeply within our hearts.
