Philosophy
Gunung-An was designed and created as a space to reconnect with nature and self. Set in the heart of a Balinese village much of the inspiration for her design and build stems from the Balinese village life and the strength of the Balinese woman.
It is our intent here and now, to hold space for you to come home to self and honor the sacred Yin within. To start to listen and connect with the inner guidance within.
