Bali Spirit Festival
good impact
-
-
-
-
BUT inherently unpolitical, not taking into account the realities of Balinese people
Problems
-
-
disregarding one's own role in creating problems on Bali, increasing inequlity
-
unawareness of global power structure: westerners appropriating third-world practices, being served by those, use their sacred places etc. and think they thereby save the world
New Age Background
-
-
-
harmony, holism, personal growth, the development of greater consciousness, an ethos of bricolage, individual autonomy and authenticity (Van Hove, 1999:131)
Nature
-
-
connecting with mother Earth, part of the unity
-
capitalism
-
free market ideology of religion, take what is most appealing and drop it when you want
-
only the rich can participate, exclusion of those not able to afford the festival
the sacred
body, health (self-optimization)
-
ecstasys, e.g. when dancing
sensual experience: food, music, movement, dance, nature..
