Join Me In Seeding The Next Phase of TAKSU
From Me To We
In building the infrastructure for people to create together.
€20K moves us forward
Bali gives us so much. What if We gave something meaningful back?
I'm looking for visionaries, entrepreneurs, investors, and impact-driven organizations who want to turn Bali's untapped potential into a living, regenerative economy.
The people, resources, ideas, and opportunities are already here. What's missing is the infrastructure to bring them together.
The opportunity? Connect local knowledge, entrepreneurial talent, capital, and global networks to create new businesses, meaningful livelihoods, and lasting value that flows back into Bali.
Let's turn what already exists into what becomes possible together.

What makes “We” possible?
The world is full of extraordinary ideas.
Frameworks. Technologies. Visionaries.
But ideas alone don't change the world. People do. Together.
And creating together takes trust, the capacity to navigate difference, and the willingness to work through discomfort.
Without these, even the most promising ideas can stall.

Bali is becoming increasingly complex
Bali is becoming increasingly complex
It's a place where enormous amounts of people, capital, ideas, cultures, businesses, traditions and generations are colliding.
There is enough talent, money, creativity and vision.
Is there enough relational capacity to make all of those things work together without losing what makes Bali valuable in the first place?

People rise when they're seen, trusted, and free to contribute their unique gifts.
For more than half my life,
I’ve worked at the intersection of art, leadership, culture and collective transformation, exploring what happens when people move beyond transactional interaction into genuine relationship.

Our First Experiment
Our First Experiment
What began as gatherings, conversations and experiments in Bali became a 30-day collaborative experiment:
67 PEOPLE
Balinese + international leaders, entrepreneurs, developers, creatives and changemakers
5 INITIATIVES
Existing Balinese initiatives with real people, needs and possibilities
30 DAYS
Of connection, experimentation and self-organization.
New collaborations between initiatives
Resources moving between people
People contributing their unique gifts and expertise
Business, marketing and branding develop established

And just as importantly, We saw where collaboration broke down.
And just as importantly, we saw where collaboration broke down.
Even when the financial, physical and technological infrastructure exists, it doesn't guarantee that people can actually create together.
Having brilliant ideas, good intentions and resources isn't enough to create something together.
When people with different experiences, cultures, priorities and ways of seeing come together, things break down.
Not because people don't care. Because collaboration itself requires practice.

The Hypothesis
If Bali is to become the kind of regenerative society WE imagine it could be, we need to learn how to work together across difference at the same time we're building everything else.

To build trust.
Navigate difference
Share responsibility
Communicate through discomfort
Recognize and contribute unique strengths
Make decisions together
Create without surrendering identity, ownership or sovereignty
This isn't something we solve with information alone. It has to be practiced.

Our Next Field Laboratory
Our Next Step
BELGRADE → BALI
This October, I’m taking the inquiry into a new field.
Through a two-month creative residency in Belgrade, Serbia.
I’ll work with artists and non-artists across different backgrounds to investigate what allows trust, creative agency and collective meaning-making to emerge.
This October and November, I was accepted into a two-month creative residency in Belgrade, Serbia.
I’ll work with artists and non-artists across different backgrounds to investigate how the arts influence trust, creative agency and collective meaning-making.
I’ll document what emerges and bring the learning home to Bali.
What translates becomes part of the evolving methodology and regenerative working template we’re developing for TAKSU and the Imaginal Salons 2027.
Through social choreography: composing people, place, story, movement, music, ritual and conversation in real time — I’ll test practices that help people navigate difference, relationship, uncertainty and creation.
I’ll document what emerges, explore what translates across cultures, and bring the learning home to Bali.

What's Emerging
A practical framework for relational infrastructure:
CONDITIONS → PRACTICES → PROTOCOLS → TOOLS → METHODOLOGY
A living ecosystem where everyone has something to contribute—and something to gain.
There is room for you in it.
What's Beginning To Emerge
A practical framework for relational infrastructure:
CONDITIONS → PRACTICES → PROTOCOLS → TOOLS → METHODOLOGY
A larger ecosystem is revealing itself—one where people can enter, contribute, learn, create, lead and belong, while value circulates through the ecosystem.
Imagine what becomes possible when we begin to build this together.
More connection. More collaboration. More opportunities for local people to lead, create and prosper.
A living ecosystem where everyone has something to contribute—and something to gain.
There is room for you in it.
