Join discussions with NGOs, youth groups, university students or mental health professionals to learn how Balinese experts are addressing local and global challenges. Each programme connects you with unique and authentic local leaders. Return home with fresh perspectives, new ideas and context.
Open to everyone. Whether youโre a psychology student, wellness enthusiast, or simply curious about new perspectives to mental health, this programme will give you:
- Experience โ Wellbeing through Balinese eyes, rooted in spirituality and culture.
- Connection โ Build genuine bonds with your team, community & practitioners
- Challenge โ Trek the jungle, snorkel and adapt to village rhythms.
- Learning โ Positive psychology and mindfulness in action.
- Skills โ Boost resilience, adaptability, empathy, and cultural intelligence.
- Global Perspective โ Explore wellbeing from a non-Western worldview
Come with a positive mindset and a sense of cultural curiosity. We guarantee this experience will expand your skills, deepen your global awareness, and broaden your perspective.
At the core of Balinese life and worldview lies a powerful, guiding philosophy: Tri Hita Karana, which translates to โthe three causes of wellbeingโ or โthree ways to happiness.โ More than just a belief system, Tri Hita Karana is a way of life โ a framework that shapes how Balinese people relate to one another, to nature, and to the divine.
This philosophy is not abstract; it’s woven into the rituals, architecture, agriculture, community life, and healing practices of Bali. It offers a deeply rooted cultural lens through which mental, emotional, and spiritual health are understood and nurtured โ making it a profound foundation for exploring wellbeing and mental health in a non-Western context.
This principle emphasises the importance of healthy social relationships and community connection. In Bali, wellbeing is not viewed as an individual pursuit but as something nurtured through mutual care, cooperation, and shared responsibility.
On this programme: Youโll experience Pawongan through village homestays, collaborative cultural projects, and sharing circles. These experiences demonstrate how interpersonal connection and social cohesion support mental health and resilience.
Balinese life is closely tied to the natural world โ from the rhythms of agriculture to the symbolism of sacred mountains and rivers. Palemahan recognises that wellbeing comes from living in balance with the environment, both physically and spiritually.
On this programme: Youโll explore Palemahan through eco-therapy, rice terrace walks, coral reef conservation, forest meditation, and sunrise hikes. These immersive experiences deepen awareness of how environmental harmony supports psychological wellbeing.
Spirituality is integral to Balinese identity. Parahyangan focuses on maintaining a harmonious relationship with the divine or spiritual world, through daily offerings, temple ceremonies, prayer, and rituals.
On this programme: You’ll engage in Parahyangan through yoga, meditation, temple visits, fire rituals, and water blessings, learn how to make traditional offerings and be guided in local temple etiquette and practice. All led by local experts. These spiritual practices offer tools for self-reflection, inner balance, and emotional release.
Through this journey you will:
- Explore ‘Wellbeing’ โ Experience Balinese approaches to mental health in practice through daily rituals, community life, and cultural connection.
- Build Key Skills โ Develop resilience, empathy, adaptability, and cultural intelligence.
- Think Globally โ Gain non-Western perspectives on psychology, wellbeing, and mental health.
- Learn by Doing โ Connect theory to practice through workshops, community activities, and cultural exchange.
- Embrace Adventure โ Challenge yourself with nature-based activities like jungle camps, hikes and snorkeling.
- Grow Personally โ Reflect deeply through mindfulness, journaling, and group sharing to return with new insight and purpose.
The end result is a unique collection of memories, stories and experiences, shared with a new group of life-long friends.
Guided by our Think GLOBAL Learning Framework, youโll gain insight, broaden your perspective, and build meaningful connections through immersive activities, workshops, and cultural excursions.
Here is the unique six-step framework that forms the basis for your learning in Bali

๐บ How the Bali Mental Health & Wellbeing Programme Supports Local Impact
At Think Pacific, we believe that travel should be transformative โ not only for participants but for the communities and ecosystems we partner with. This programme is deeply grounded in the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasises harmony between people, nature, and spirit. Every aspect of this journey reflects that balance, with meaningful, lasting benefits for local communities, traditions, and the environment.
Hereโs how this program creates regenerative impact in Bali, aligned with both local values and mental health outcomes:
1. Preserving Culture & Traditional Knowledge
Linked to itinerary activities in the village stay, jungle camp, and Ubud exploration.
Participants engage in hands-on cultural workshops, including batik-making, traditional dance, gamelan music, wood carving, herbal healing, and sacred rituals. These experiences are led by local artisans, elders, and cultural custodians, many of whom rely on these practices for income.
By learning, not just observing, students play a role in keeping intangible cultural heritage alive while gaining insight into how these practices are used for healing, emotional expression, and communal wellbeing โ core themes in Balinese mental health traditions.
2. Supporting Community Livelihoods & Regenerative Income
Connected to 12-night village homestay and community-led excursions.
Participants live with Balinese host families, creating direct financial benefits for the village through ethical homestay programs, meal sharing, and guided activities. These partnerships are developed with community consent and leadership, ensuring that income remains in the local economy.
Beyond income, these connections help students understand the social fabric and mutual support systems that underpin mental wellbeing in rural Bali โ a living example of Pawongan, or harmony between people.
3. Fostering Global Connection & Mutual Learning
Happens throughout the programme, particularly in group sharing, youth workshops, and reflection activities.
Through daily interaction, participants and locals engage in dialogue, shared storytelling, and collaborative learning, creating long-lasting global relationships. This includes peer exchanges with local youth, mental health discussion groups, and team reflections led by both Balinese and international facilitators.
These encounters build empathy, cultural intelligence, and reduce โus vs. themโ thinking โ a key goal of ethical global citizenship and an important factor in long-term mental health advocacy across cultures.
4. Raising Mental Health Awareness & Reducing Stigma
Core to learning days with NGOs, youth organisations, and local leaders.
Students meet with local mental health workers, traditional healers, NGOs, and grassroots initiatives tackling mental health stigma and youth wellbeing challenges in Bali. These conversations provide insight into how mental health is understood in a non-Western context, including spiritual interpretations of mental distress, communal healing, and the growing integration of modern and traditional support systems.
By participating in panel discussions and awareness workshops, students contribute to visibility and dialogue around an often-taboo topic โ a form of ethical solidarity and mutual education.
5. Promoting Responsible, Educational Tourism
Embedded across the model โ small-group travel, pre-departure learning, and local partnerships.
This offers a powerful alternative to mass tourism. It is small-scale, low-impact, and community-first, with participants arriving as learners, not consumers. Students are briefed on cultural sensitivity, Balinese protocols, and respectful conduct, ensuring their presence is welcomed, not extractive.
By immersing in slow travel and engaging with Bali on its own terms, participants help shift the tourism narrative toward one of learning, respect, and regenerative exchange.
6. Supporting Environmental Regeneration
Featured during jungle camp, Kintamani nature days, and Amed ocean activities.
Students learn about Balinese eco-spiritual practices, such as Subak (community-managed water systems), and engage in conservation activities like coral planting, forest walks, and beach clean-ups. These experiences not only support local ecosystems but also help participants see mental health as interconnected with natural rhythms โ a reflection of Palemahan, or harmony with nature.
Activities like sunrise yoga in the mountains, journaling by rice fields, and snorkelling on vibrant reefs offer space for mindful reflection and show how nature itself is a form of healing.
7. Empowering Local Youth
Encouraged through peer-led learning and collaboration with youth-based organisations.
Participants engage with local student leaders, youth collectives, and community changemakers who are driving conversations around mental health and wellbeing in Bali. These interactions offer a platform for Balinese youth voices and reinforce the idea that young people can lead with confidence and cultural pride.
By elevating local youth leadership, this program contributes to a new generation of mental health advocates, grounded in tradition but open to innovation.
8. Amplifying Grassroots Leadership & Local Ownership
Woven throughout โ co-created programs, local facilitators, and partner-led experiences.
Think Pacific works only with locally approved initiatives, engaging village leadership, NGOs, and local experts in every step of program planning and delivery. Whether itโs a temple priest leading a Melukat purification, or a community healer teaching herbal medicine, this program amplifies grassroots expertise and respects local autonomy.
Participants are guests in a locally owned learning environment, reinforcing Parahyangan โ harmony with spirit โ through gratitude, humility, and shared purpose.
๐ฟ Conclusion: Real Impact, Rooted in Respect
The Bali Mental Health & Wellbeing Programme is not just about student development โ itโs about contributing meaningfully to the cultural, social, environmental, and emotional fabric of Bali. Every experience is designed to be mutually beneficial, aligned with Balinese values, and responsive to community-defined goals.

Here’s more about this experience to consider:
Embracing Balinese Life
Life in Bali is guided by community, ceremony, and the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana โ harmony with people, nature, and spirit. Whether youโre in Ubud, a jungle camp, a village homestay, or by the ocean, daily life revolves around connection, rituals, and togetherness. Join in wholeheartedly โ whether itโs helping prepare temple offerings, joining a gamelan session, trekking through rice fields, or sharing stories after sunset.
Settle Into Your New Surroundings
Each stage of the journey has its own rhythm โ from Ubudโs cultural buzz, to the quiet simplicity of jungle living, to the warmth of your host family in Mas village. Be ready for a mix of simple living and new comforts: bucket showers and open-air kitchens in rural areas, eco-lodges in the jungle, and guesthouses on the coast. Wherever you stay, youโll be welcomed as part of the community.
Eat Like a Local
Food in Bali is central to culture, family, and wellbeing. Meals are often shared, with rice at the heart of every dish. Expect fragrant nasi campur (mixed rice), fresh vegetables, tempeh, fish, and the famous spicy sambal. Hospitality is generous โ donโt be surprised if neighbours, relatives, or friends join for a meal or celebration.
Give Yourself Time to Adjust
Bali moves at its own rhythm โ shaped by ceremonies, family routines, and natureโs cycles. The pace may be slower than youโre used to, and traditions may feel unfamiliar at first. Itโs normal to feel out of step in the beginning โ lean on your host family, teammates, and Think Pacific leaders. Soon, youโll feel at home in the flow of Balinese life.
Learn Some Language
While many people speak Bahasa Indonesia, in villages youโll also hear Balinese language. Learning simple greetings and phrases will help you build trust and connection. Weโll share guides and practice sessions before and during the trip so you can confidently engage with local communities.
Go With the Flow
Bali runs on Jam Karet โ โrubber time.โ Ceremonies may run long, mealtimes may shift, and plans often adapt around the needs of the community or the environment. Embracing this flexibility is part of the journey โ it teaches patience, presence, and the joy of living in the moment.
Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
From jungle trekking to trying new foods, youโll face situations that feel unfamiliar or even challenging. These moments are part of the learning experience โ they build resilience, confidence, and adaptability.
Simple Living, Different Comforts
Not every stage of the journey will have hot showers, air conditioning, or constant Wi-Fi. Embrace the simplicity โ it helps you connect more deeply with nature, people, and yourself.ย ย You may experience cold bucket showers, or share accommodation with insects or bugs that you often find in such tropical weather.
Respecting Culture & Ceremony
Balinese life is steeped in ritual and spirituality. You may be invited to join ceremonies or observe sacred practices. Be open, curious, and respectful โ wearing appropriate clothing, listening carefully, and following local guidance.
Navigating Group Life
Youโll be travelling, learning, and reflecting as part of a team. Living in close quarters means patience, communication, and compromise are essential. Sharing circles and group reflections are a chance to process challenges together.
Emotional Adjustment
Exploring wellbeing and mental health can be powerful โ but also emotional. You may feel homesick, overwhelmed, or stretched by new experiences. Remember youโre supported at all times by your leaders, peers, and host families.
Expect the Unexpected
Plans may change due to weather, ceremonies, or local needs. Flexibility is key โ Bali teaches the art of letting go and embracing the moment.

The villages are all relatively small and close knit communities withย usually aroundย 20-50 or so families. During the project, you will stay with your own Fijian family in the village. The Fijian families will treat you as one of their own.

Conditions are basic; expect cold bucket showers, pit toilets and limited electricity.
You will eat with your Fijian family, who provide all of your meals in the community. You may often find many different people at your home for lunch and dinner โ in Fiji it is custom to invite anyone who is passing into the home to eat. Food is very carbohydrate heavy, so expect lots of root crops such as dalo and cassava, and also lots of fish, as this makes up the bulk of a typical Fijian diet.
Your safety is our priority. Think Pacific team mentors co-ordinate the entire project and are available 24/7 for student support. Our biggest piece of advice for students is to not hesitate to speak to our team leaders if they have any questions about health and safety.ย
