Review Body: Our visit from 9 AM to 1 PM was nothing short of inspiring. We had the privilege of meeting Ibu Sari, the founder of the center, who openly shared her life story, her struggles, her perseverance, and her incredible achievements. Her journey was deeply moving and a true testament to the strength of women in Balinese society. We also met her vibrant sister, Ibu Chicken, whose joyful energy, infectious laughter, dance moves, and delicious cooking kept everyone smiling from start to finish. And then there was Ibu Ari, who gave us a fascinating insight into the community’s work, the surrounding vegetation and plantations, and their exciting future plans. The hands-on activities were a real highlight, from learning to make herbal tea starting right at the garden (cutting fresh herbs and seeing exactly where they grow) to trying batik drawing with canting and hot wax. One of our participants, Preeti, even freehanded the Host a Sister logo, an impressive and memorable moment! We ended the experience with a home-cooked Balinese meal, prepared and shared with such warmth. This program was not just an activity, but a meaningful cultural exchange, full of learning, laughter, and connection. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting an authentic and enriching experience in Bali

Review Body: From pick-up to drop-off, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. I was informed ahead of time about the planned activities and what to expect, with clear communication provided via text. My dietary needs were accommodated, we stayed on schedule, and there was plenty of time to engage meaningfully with members of the community.Rai was kind, engaging, insightful, and consistently professional throughout the experience. My time at PKP was both inspiring and humbling. This incredible community offers a safe and supportive space for those seeking healing and refuge. I had the privilege of hearing Ibu Sari’s story and learning about her vision to create a sanctuary for others. Her journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and patience. My garden tour, healing meditation session, and time with resident writer and educator rounded off a fantastic day. Would highly recommend.
