New Venue Announced
The Vegan Village, located on the soccer field at the intersection of Jalan Monkey Forest and Jalan Dewisita will be FREE ACCESS and play host to the majority of the market stall vendors, including vegan clothing, food and beauty brands from across Bali and Indonesia. The space will also feature free community yoga, ecstatic dance, concerts and more!
Taksu Spa, located just 50 metres away from Paradiso will adopt a fully vegan menu over the weekend, showcasing its award winning raw food and vegan cuisine. Visitors can also enjoy workshops and yoga classes, while members of the internationally trained and accredited Taksu Spa team will present a series of fun demonstrations making your own vegan body scrub. A tour of Taksu’s living gardens will also be on offer, as most of the fresh greens used in Taksu’s two healthy eating restaurants are grown on the premises, in the beautiful aquaponic and hydroponic gardens that caress the venue’s celebrated open air Garden Cafe.
Paradiso Ubud will remain the epicenter of the festival, with the extensive space hosting the talks and film screenings, as well as a comedy show, daily yoga classes and discussion panels. Paradiso is located just off Jalan Hanoman, and adjacent to Bali’s original organic plant-based eatery Earth Café, with customers able to order anything from the extensive menu while relaxing on a variety of comfortable seating options. The ethos of Paradiso mirrors that of the festival – striving to be a truly sustainable business that puts the community and environment over profits and aims to educate and inform about genuinely important issues.
The festival will take place from October 6th-8th 2017.
