From 29 October two 2 November, we will bring together writers, poets, and thinkers to Ubud, for a 4-day program featuring author talks, panel discussions, live music, spoken word, literary lunches, late-night readings, workshops, and much more.

The Festival will explore Aham Brahmasmi, a Sanskrit concept from ancient Hindu wisdom, which we translate as I am the Universe. Learn more about this theme, which delves into the unity of the human self with the universe or the highest cosmic power.

What an honour to be part of a festival that not only uplifts, celebrates, and connects us with readers and writers from different corners of the world, but really grounds us in Bali’s rich literary and cultural heritage and all it has to offer. An unforgettable community I want to keep returning to time and again.
