Tri Hita Karana

In Balinese culture, architecture is closely linked to the concept of wellness, as the design of buildings is believed to have a profound impact on a person's well-being. The architecture of Balinese buildings is designed to create a sense of harmony and balance, both with the natural environment and within the individual.

At Lost Lindenberg, the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana is reflected in the design and architecture of the retreat, which emphasizes a connection to nature and the use of sustainable materials. The retreat also incorporates elements of Balinese culture, such as traditional carvings and artwork, and offers wellness treatments that are based on ancient Balinese healing techniques. By incorporating these elements into the design and experience of the retreat, the retreat promotes a sense of balance that is in line with the principles of Tri Hita Karana.

Tri Hita Karana is a Balinese philosophy that emphasizes the importance of maintaining harmony between three aspects of life: human beings, nature, and the divine. It is a fundamental belief in Balinese culture that is incorporated into daily life, as well as into the design and architecture of buildings and temples.

The design of Lost Lindenberg emphasizes the importance of natural light and ventilation, which is another key element of Balinese architecture. The retreat's buildings are designed to allow for natural ventilation and to maximize the flow of natural light, creating a sense of openness and connection to the natural environment.

The use of natural materials such as reclaimed teak wood and volcanic stone also reflects Balinese values of respect for the environment. The buildings are designed to follow the contours of the land, preserving existing trees and minimizing the impact on the environment.

The retreat's buildings are arranged in a way that creates a sense of community and encourages interaction among guests, fostering a spirit of togetherness and connection, which is an important aspect of Balinese culture. The central courtyard, which is a common feature in Balinese homes and temples, in the retreat serves as a gathering place and a hub of activity, creating a sense of openness and community.

The rooms and suites feature handcrafted furniture, traditional textiles, and artwork by local artisans, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that celebrates Balinese traditions and craftsmanship. The roofs of the buildings feature the traditional Balinese thatched roof, known as "alang-alang," which not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the retreat but also reflects the cultural heritage of Bali.

A jungle retreat promoting a sense of balance in line with Balinese philosophy

Lost Lindenberg offers various healing traditions that are deeply rooted in Balinese culture. Visitors can experience traditional Balinese spa and wellness treatments, including massages, herbal baths, and energy healing, which are based on ancient Balinese healing techniques and use natural ingredients sourced locally. These healing traditions are deeply connected to Balinese spirituality and the belief in the balance between mind, body, and spirit.

Balinese rituals play an important role in the culture of Bali and are deeply integrated into the daily lives of the Balinese people. One of the Balinese rituals practiced at the jungle haven is the daily offering ceremony, known as Canang Sari. Canang Sari is a small offering made of flowers, rice, and other items, which is placed in front of statues or shrines to honor the Hindu gods.

Overall, Lost Lindenberg incorporates some elements of Balinese architecture and philosophy, but its more modern approach and wellness focus make it a contemporary interpretation of these traditions.
