November @ Taksu


Our legendary Thanksgiving Banquet - book early!
New People & Special Events ... and plenty of rain.


The 2015 Ubud Writers and Readers Festival closed on the first day of November but many of the Festival's guest will stay in town for a while. Taksu, a proud community partner of the biggest and most well known cultural and literary event in Southeast Asia, hosted three workshops here in our tropical jungle paradise and presented a workshop on making Jamu, the traditional Indonesian herbal tonic, as part of the Festival's main program. We look forward to welcoming Festival guests back to Taksu as they complete their Ubud holiday - all Festival participants are welcome to enjoy a 20% discount on all spa services and 10% on all dining services.

And speaking of workshops, we are in the final stages of preparing our cooking classes. Chef Arif Springs will share some of the artistry and expertise that has made Fresh, our new healthy eating restaurant, the talk of the town (and the toast of TripAdvisor). Be sure to follow Taksu on Facebook and/or Instagram to hear the news first.

On Thursday 26 November people around the world join together to give thanks. Taksu's annual Thanksgiving banquet is one of our biggest celebrations, with the finest imported turkeys flown in especially and a long table on our breezy rooftop terrace groaning with goodies.

Dining
This month's best value dining special is our two-for-one breakfast buffet deal. Already the best breakfast in town, Taksu's daily all-you-can-eat extravaganza is 80k++ for two people for the month of November only. We want more people - especially those who live locally - to know that they can relax from 8-11am with: unlimited coffee* (sourced locally and roasted on the premises) and ginger tea | fresh tropical fruit, muesli, and yoghurt | gluten free bakery selections, breads, muffins and cakes | green detox juice and rotating daily juice specials** | omelette station with chefs standing by | full hot buffet | complimentary wifi | tranquil garden peace. *On tap brewed Taksu blend. Specialty coffees available but not included in the buffet. **One glass of green detox juice per person. Two juices available daily as part of the buffet, juices on request are welcome but not included in the buffet.
 
After November, all the above is 80k++ per person, which is still great value. You should definitely check it out. See below for more information on dining specials for November - including some of the elegantly delicious new additions to our garden menu - lobster ravioli and Earl Grey salmon sushi. 
 
Yoga
This month our yoga schedule presents Indra and Agung, two of our most popular Balinese yoga teachers. Each brings their own unique style of tender, personalized attention to the small-class focus that Taksu is well known for.

We don't present large scale yoga events with hundreds of people in the room. Our beautiful open air yoga pavilion overlooks the river and is calmed by gentle breezes, and can fit no more than about a half a dozen people. On some days, you may be the only class member. 

Taksu Yoga is highly regarded by people wanting an atmosphere that isn't intimidating, and where they can interact one-on-one with the instructor. Our yoga schedule.

Events
Our November evening event schedule is pared down this month, but Vasudev's Sacred Song Circle remains in place at 7pm each Monday. This divine event provides uplifting heart chants and mantras, kirtan and heart songs and is a lovely way to spend an evening with an interesting mix of the community under the bamboo canopy of our Events Pavilion. 

Our Garden Cafe remains open of an evening, and is an event in itself. Dine under the stars with soft lighting and complimentary wifi. A woodfired pizza and a glass or two of Australian wine goes down especially nicely. 

Our events schedule.

Healing Haven
Lela presents the unique tools of Access Consciousness which are here to help you choose the creative reality you want to BE and move out of this reality of thoughts, feelings and emotions. How much ease and joy can we create while choosing more of who we Be? Other modalities being presented by Lela this month include The Essence of Possibilities and Money! Money! Money! Lela conducts personal one-on-one sessions and also hold group classes and workshops in our comfy Kecek room. Learn more about each here.

Of course, Liana's many East-West fusion healing services along with Erika's Happy Healing, and Tri's Pranic Healing continue to enrich the lives of the many people who come to Taksu in search of life progression. We're proud to present such an eclectic range of healing professionals at Taksu.

Whole Life Detox Program

Dr. Liana Nenacheva and her team at the Whole Life Detox Institute bring an exciting new approach to the process of detoxing. After years of carefully studying and trying various detox programs, Dr. Liana finally found the root cause of why many fail to maintain the results of the detox after it ends.

 

Did you know that statistically only 5% of people who lose weight on a diet and detox are able to actually keep the weight off?  

 

Dr. Liana found that lasting success can only be achieved through an integrated program that pays close attention to all areas of your life. Her holistic approach digs deep to help you identify the "toxins" in your mind, body, soul, and relationships that prevent you from living the life you desire.


 In just 3, 5, or 10 days, the Whole Life Detox Program will restore balance in your life and start you on a life-changing journey. You will leave with a new found understanding of your body's needs and most importantly, you will leave with a fully personalized plan that will help you sustain this healthy balance in your everyday life.  Find out more at: this link Or contact Dr. Liana at +62 878 6120 2617 and [email protected]

Agung also draws from his original grass roots grounding by dedicated Balinese teachers of deep lineage

And after completing his teacher training in Rishikesh, India, Indra can finally materialize his steadfast determination: to share the life-changing experience of Yoga. He has cultivated an understanding that the body is a reflection of the mind and soul, and vice versa, and that Yoga is the ideal tool to synchronize them.
