- Ketut Liyer - visiting with a BalianDid you read "Eat Pray Love"? Do you want to meet with a famous Balinese Shaman? Ketut Liyer, thanks to the best-selling book, "Eat Pray Love", has found himself catapulted to fame and at least some small fortune as the most important Balian on an island of very spiritual people. And earlier this year, Spirit Quest Tours was in Bali for two weeks with a group of 35 American tourists, many of whom had read the book and were hoping to meet Ketut. Luckily, our Balinese guide knew him, and where he lived, and I was able to send him over to Ubud to set up an afternoon for our group to see him.

The date is 12/12/12, the last number in the repeating series we've been experiencing for the past dozen years. This is on top of 12/21/12, its near twin, when we will either experience a date of strong planetary alignment or the apocalypse. In other words, if we make it past Christmas, we're golden.

The Exhilarating, Terrifying Experience of Doing Something NEW
I’m a fairly adventuresome person, but I don’t have that thrill gene—you know, the one that makes you want to sky dive and bungee jump and have sex in public places.
