Additional Information

Welcome to the beautiful country of Indonesia. As you traverse through its lands, you’ll frequently experience the calming resonance of music unlike your everyday melodies. The primary contributor to these tunes is a vintage ensemble of metallic and wooden instruments known as Gamelan. This age-old musical apparatus, potentially the oldest in the world, is a staple across Indonesia, especially in Java. Immerse yourself in this culture by learning to play the Gamelan, and discover a mindfulness practice that will enrich your travels.
