Info: After graduation from college in Switzerland, Satya left Europe for a rather long journey: First destination India, spending time at Osho Ashram, in Goa, Kerala and the Himalaya, he went onwards to the east: Through Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia. That tour showed him South East Asia in the eighties. He continued to travel eastwards: through Hongkong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, crossing the Pacific to Hawaii and eventually to California to study Psychosomatics and teach at a Rudolf Steiner school. Then he went back to Switzerland and worked in private practice with Bodywork modules, breathwork, astrology and co-founded an international Seminar Center in Northern Italy. During that time, he bought land at the north Shore of Bali (Buleleng) and built up a retreat center, the “Bali Mandala”. The center would host private guests and groups, seeking tranquility, spiritual practice and nature experiences. Satya took notes of daily events, observing the immense differences between local life in Bali and the mindset of Western visitors. After fifteen years he moved to Ubud, teaching at “Green School” and writing his first novel: “Eighthundred Moons” a testimony to the “Zeitgeist” of the decades before and after 2000, a storytelling of travelling in Asia, the south Pacific, North America and North Africa – in between 1979 to 2020. The second Volume was published in 2022 and deals with BALI -observations, stories, culture clashes and local dramas. He runs a BLOG on the internet with continuing posts about life in Bali – and neighboring islands.
