Founder's Vision
Prana Veda Sanctuary is an organic manifestation of my life’s dream and vision. “Live your dream” was always deep inside myself and the vision to create a space of healing with my passion for community and love for people. Life guided me to Bali and to this place of tropical beauty by the Indian Ocean. After deep meditations and lots of dreams, I designed it from the ground up. Then, together with the Balinese from the village, with their great craftsmanship, we built it to serve as a Sanctuary, Guesthouse, Holiday Retreat, Healing Place and a Social Children’s Association.
I feel very blessed and thankful for this gift.
Prana Veda Sanctuary was opened in 2010 to connect people from east and west, to learn, grow, heal and just be.
About the founder
Renate is a German-, French- and English-speaking therapist, who came to Bali for the first time 30 years ago. Since then, she has fallen in love with this magical island. Her professional journey started as a Physical Therapist in Switzerland and guided her as a volunteer in a home for handicapped children in Singapore for the Red Cross. Later she gained 20 years of experience in her own clinic in Germany. During this time, her son Marc grew up and enriched her life tremendously. On her path to holistic healing, she added psychotherapy trainings. Over the course of 9 years she spent half of her time in India studying and eventually began teaching Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation. She has guided workshops and seminars in many countries.
It is her intention to provide you with a very special place and to offer you the necessary tools so that you can activate your self-healing potential and realize your natural state of wholeness.
In Sanskrit, Prana Veda means “the science and wisdom of life energies”; a place of power that invites everyone who is a researcher and seeker and wants to study life energies with us.
Prana Veda is a dream of paradise with a common spirit, designed to create a safe sanctuary and participate in creating a “New World” by planting a seed to awakening us out of our conditioning.
… A place where time stands still,
where Heaven and Earth meet
And Heaven seems a little closer …

And another dream of mine is that someone can be found who wants to live here in our small community, who still carries the vision of Prana Veda and who wants to take over the day-to-day business in the future.

Our Balinese Team
In our Balinese team there are 10 warmhearted and loving staff members who take care of the wellbeing of our guests. Most of them are from our village and many of them have been part of Prana Veda since the beginning. The familial atmosphere is very much appreciated and contributes that our guests are feeling so much at home in paradise.
Our staff knows all our guests by name and you can understand why people from all over the world grow so fond of them. Their wonderful open smiles during work are always touching. We are very thankful for each of our staff members, who co-create the image of Prana Veda with their renowned Balinese kindness.

Social Commitments
We have sponsored children attending school since 2006. We have organised school projects and traditional Balinese dance lessons in two schools of Bondalem since 2008.
Environment
In 2014, we created our permaculture garden, which provides us with organic fruits and vegetables.
We strive towards sustainability and are aware of our social responsibility (solar system, LED lamps, waste separation, learning projects in local village schools, copper ionization and salt for our pools instead of chlorine, support for the coral reef protection project and use of local resources).
