About Pyramids of Chi
Pyramids of Chi is a one-of-a-kind wellness venue in Ubud, Bali – essentially a sound-healing sanctuary built around three large pyramid structures. Founded by Australian couple Peter and Lynn McIntosh (on sacred land starting in 2013 (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (zsoltzsemba.com )), it opened to the public in 2017 and quickly became a premier destination for transformative experiences. The site features three purpose-built “sacred pyramids” (Sun, Moon and Earth), two geodesic domes, a new open-air yoga pavilion, cozy 1:1 therapy huts, and lush gardens (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Each pyramid is precisely aligned using sacred geometry – for example the Pyramid of the Sun is built to a 1:16 scale of Egypt’s Great Pyramid with a 51.8° angle and true-north alignment (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ), and the Pyramid of the Moon is 1:18 scale (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Together these high-vibration spaces combine ancient wisdom with modern sound technology, creating an “innovation to the world” of healing (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (www.klook.com ). In the local Ubud scene, Pyramids of Chi now enjoys top ratings (it earned TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award for Bali in 2025) and a 5-star reputation for its remarkable atmosphere.
Events and Programming
At Pyramids of Chi, the daily schedule is built around sound-healing and mind-body events. Each day offers multiple Ancient Sound Healing sessions (using gongs and other ancient instruments) at 9:00, 11:00, 1:00, 3:00, 5:00 and 7:00 (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Other group classes include Light Sound Vibration (LSV) sessions (a combination of Tibetan bowls, LED lights and even water beds – one reviewer noted “vibrations through the water beds” make it a “one of a kind” experience (www.tripadvisor.com.my )), Scalar Healing Energy sessions, Yin or Hatha yoga with sound, and breathwork or voice-activation workshops. Every month the venue hosts special lunar ceremonies: a New Moon healing fire ceremony and an Ancient Sound Healing session in the Pyramid of the Sun (plus a 3-course vegan dinner) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ), and similarly timed Full Moon ceremonies (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Bi-weekly cacao ceremonies (heart-opening group ceremonies with sacred cacao and dance) are also on offer (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Personal 1:1 sessions (like Reiki, aura/energy scans or integrative healing) can be booked in the Healing Huts. Schedule and frequency vary, but in general most weeks feature daily sound baths and yoga classes, plus the regular moon ceremonies each lunar month. Recent years have also seen larger retreats and festivals held at the site (for example an “I Am Sunrise” summit in late 2025) and the venue often mentions hosting international sound healers, indigenous medicine practitioners, and visiting yogis. In short, visitors can expect anything from intimate gong baths to full evening fire-and-sound happenings. Ticket prices range from about IDR350,000 (roughly US$25) for a 1.5–2 hour group sound session (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ), to around IDR600,000 (US$40–50) for the special Full Moon/New Moon ceremonies (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). (For instance, one advertised Full Moon Ceremony package is IDR600,000 and includes fire ritual, sound bath and dinner (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ), and a cacao ceremony is IDR400,000 per person (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ).) Overall, expect frequent events every day – most sessions sell out in advance, as the website cautions, so early booking is advised (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ).
Tickets and Booking
There is no on-site box office in the traditional sense; guests are expected to book in advance. The official Pyramids of Chi website allows online reservations and multi-pass packages. Single-session tickets (e.g. an Ancient Sound Healing class) cost around IDR350,000 (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Monthly ceremony events and workshops have higher fares (commonly IDR600,000 for the full Full/New Moon ceremony with dinner (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com )). Visitors can also purchase 5- or 10-session “multi-passes” online which offer discounts of 7–10% (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Because sessions often reach capacity, it’s strongly recommended to book well ahead. Group events (especially the moon ceremonies) "sell out each month" and require booking (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). The website indicates space is limited and advises registering online; walk-up or door sales are not guaranteed. Some packages may be available through tour operators or sites like Klook, but the best assurance is booking directly via the venue’s booking system. Generally, the official portal and guest relations desk handle tickets – there are no public ticket booths at the entrance. Digital confirmations or e-tickets are typically emailed. With prices in IDR, many guests pay by credit card or local payment methods through the site; some guests note US dollars are accepted too. The popular events become available ~1–2 months in advance and often sell out quickly. If aiming for a Full Moon or New Moon night, plan to purchase at least a week or more before the date. (For example, reviews and the site itself repeatedly urge early booking for special events (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ).)
Seating and Layout
The Pyramids of Chi complex is intimate and all spaces are free of fixed “seats.” Inside each pyramid, guests sit or lie on yoga mats and cushions on the wooden floor or on low water beds (for LSV sessions). In the Pyramid of the Sun (the largest 1:16-scale structure) and Pyramid of the Moon, mats are arranged around a central gong and instrument set. The Pyramid of the Earth (similar in geometry but with open sides to the garden) is often used for breathwork, movement and cacao ceremonies, and its seating can be rearranged from silent meditation to higher-energy dance sessions (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). The new Sky Shala building is a covered open-air yoga hall overlooking nature, with rows for mat practice (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Because these venues are small (each gathers on the order of a few dozen people, depending on session), sightlines are generally good from any position. There is no VIP section – all class pricing is general admission based on the time/level of event. Some guests note that if the space is very full, standing or near the edge might mean some sensitivity to noise from outside (e.g. in one review a later booking had to use a land-built pyramid and heard scooters/roosters (en.tripadvisor.com.hk )). To avoid this, one strategy is to request the Pyramid of the Sun (with the surrounding water moat) which is quieter. Otherwise, anywhere on the floor will give a similar immersive experience. Acoustically, the geometry of the wood-and-bamboo pyramids amplifies and bags natural resonance – instruments like gongs and crystal bowls will surround you. If you prefer gentle vibrations, sitting closer to the center of the pyramid (near the gong) often yields more depth. Generally there is no “bad” spot; the environment is designed so that all positions yield the same intended effect of sound. A small stage or platform is used for instruments, but audience space is communal. Guests typically remove shoes before entering the pyramid spaces (as noted by after-care advice (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com )), so bring socks or barefoot-friendly feet.
Getting There and Parking
The address is Banjar Bentuyung, Jalan Kelebang Moding No.22, Ubud, Bali (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). This is about 3–4 km northeast of the Ubud Palace/market center – roughly a 10–15 minute drive through Ubud traffic (www.tripadvisor.com.my ) (www.tripadvisor.com ). The venue operates a free shuttle bus for guests: it shuttles between the Pyramids and the transport area near Ubud Palace (opposite the Puri Saren Royal Palace, at the corner of Jalan Suweta and a small square) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Shuttles run roughly seven times per day (departing Ubud Palace at about 10:30am, 11:30am, 1:30pm, 2:30pm, 4:30pm, 5:30pm, 6:30pm, with return trips from the Pyramids shortly after those times) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). The last shuttle back to Ubud leaves around 7:15pm–8:45pm depending on day (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ), so late-evening departures may require Grab/Blue Bird taxi instead. Aside from the shuttle, most visitors arrive by private car, taxi or motorbike. Taxis or ride-hailing (e.g. Grab/Gojek) can drop off at the front gate, and there is basic parking on site for cars and bikes. Motorcycle taxi (ojek) drivers also know the location. Street parking on the narrow Jalan Kelebang Moding is limited, but the site itself can accommodate a handful of cars. If you have a scooter, parking is plentiful on the grass outside. Alternatively, an adventurous option is a scenic 3 km rice-field walk from central Ubud through Campuhan ridge area, which brings you near the Pyramids (ending just 100m from the entrance) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Note that Bali traffic can be heavy, so allow extra travel time – the Pyramids website even recommends arriving 30 minutes early for your session due to busy roads (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ).
Inside the Venue
Upon arrival, guests check in at the Welcome Centre/reception (a shaded lounge at the top of the property) where you’ll receive a welcome drink (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) and settle any last-minute details. There is a small waiting area with indoor seating and restrooms nearby. Staff will guide you barefoot down to the pyramid when the session begins (a gong sound warns of the start (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com )). The atmosphere inside each pyramid is peaceful and dimly lit – often low percussion lights or candles, especially for evening events. You’ll be given a yoga mat or hammock/lounger (for LSV waterbed sessions) at the start. Sessions are usually silent after they begin, so phones should be off or in silent mode. Photography during the actual sound session is strongly discouraged (both out of respect and to maintain the quiet ambience). After the session ends, people often spend a few minutes resting on the grass or stone lotus pond in the gardens, feeling refreshed. (The venue even suggests taking shoes off and grounding in the grass after a session (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ).)
Food and drink: Pyramids of Chi operates an on-site plant-based café (Pyramids Café by Malaika). The café menu focuses on “food as medicine” – organic, vegan, gluten-free dishes and juices (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Reviewers praise it for healthy, creative fare – one guest enjoyed a quiche and lemon tart and called both delicious (www.tripadvisor.com.my ). You can pre-order a meal or just enjoy smoothies/coffee there on the day of your visit. If attending a ceremony with dinner included, the 3-course vegan feast is served in community style. Beyond the café, there is a small Gift Shop near the entrance selling souvenirs (crystals, books, instruments, incense, branded merchandise). A coat rack is available (though Bali rarely needs coats). Restrooms are clean and basic, located near the welcome area. There are no ATMs on site, so bring cash (IDR) or use card if needed for extras. Wi-Fi is limited, so plan to be mostly offline during your healing session.
Nearby Amenities
The Pyramids of Chi sits in a quiet rice-field village just outside central Ubud. Immediately across the street is the Blue Karma hotel, whose on-site Car Karma café and lounge offers organic meals and juices (and is often busy with Pyramids guests (www.tripadvisor.com.my )). About a 5-minute drive away you’ll find several vegetarian and wellness cafés popular with tourists – for example, the clear-vibe Clear Café or Ju-Ma-Na Natural Foods. The famous Elephant Restaurant (with upscale vegan menu) is 10 minutes away by motorbike. Ubud’s center (with shops, art galleries and restaurants) is 10–15 minutes’ drive; guests often time breaks or meals to combine a trip to the Pyramids with other Ubud sightseeing. Hotels nearby include Blue Karma (in fact several reviewers note staying there when visiting Pyramids), Sankara Suites, and a cluster of villa resorts like Honai or Edge of Ubud. If you’re staying farther out, note that Ubud’s main road (Jalan Raya Ubud/Jalan Monkey Forest) can get congested in the evening. The last shuttle leaves late, but afterward Grab taxis run 24/7 – it’s wise to book your ride home in advance if staying for an 8pm session. Lastly, remember Bali’s sun is strong: many visitors suggest arriving earlier to walk the short trail through the rice terraces (cooler than sitting in traffic) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ), and to afford time for registration before your event. Overall, though somewhat secluded, the Pyramids are well-connected by road and shuttle, with ample nearby cafes and lodging options.
What Makes This Venue Special
Pyramids of Chi stands out for its striking architecture and spiritual mission. It is one of very few wellness sites in the world built in large pyramid shapes, and Bali’s first purpose-built pyramid healing centre. The founders purposely located the pyramids over identified “energy vortexes” on the land (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) – each pyramid (Sun, Moon, Earth) was rationally designed to reflect ancient sacred geometry (51.8° angles, golden ratio dimensions) and built with natural materials (bamboo, wood, stone) for authenticity (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Inside, the combination of age-old instruments (like giant gongs, crystal bowls and drums) with ultra-modern light-and-frequency devices makes sessions uniquely potent. Many visitors describe almost mystical experiences: visions, emotional releases, insights, or feeling “reborn” after an Immersive sound journey. The venue’s ethos – “Power of Pyramids + Power of People + Power of Frequency” – is aimed at holistic transformation (en.tripadvisor.com.hk ). It’s also culturally distinctive: in every ceremony you’ll receive a handcrafted eye pillow filled with Mt. Batur volcanic sand (magnetite-rich), made by Yayasan Corti (a local organization supporting Bali’s hearing-impaired community) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). This small detail reflects how each visit supports Bali’s social fabric. In the local landscape of Ubud (already famous for yoga and big-circle healing), Pyramids of Chi adds a new chapter by merging Balinese “energy” with global sound traditions. For artists and healers, the site’s high acoustics and intimate scale are highly prized: even international sound therapists travel here to perform. Its reputation in healing circles – combined with eye-catching pyramid shapes in the jungle – has made it a modern legend. Some call it a “key highlight of Bali” or a place where “everyone leaves changed.” (Travellers’ reviews bear this out: the gardens are “inviting,” the energy “powerful,” and the food conscious (www.tripadvisor.com.my ) (www.klook.com ).) In summary, Pyramids of Chi is not just another spa or yoga studio – it’s a unique fusion of architecture, spirituality and global wellness trends in the heart of Bali.
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The grounds include walkways and gardens, but the terrain is natural (grass paths and gentle slopes). Wheelchair access is limited – the pyramids each sit on raised wooden platforms with steps up. If you have mobility issues, inquire about assistance in advance. Otherwise, plan on soft ground and grass paths once inside. Luggage & belongings: There are no lockers, so travel light (staff will often hold backpacks during a session). What to bring: Comfortable loose clothing is best (yoga attire works well). Since shoes come off, many guests wear socks on the mat. The venue provides eye pillows for relaxation, so you don’t need any, although some bring their own blanket or neck-pillow. Water is provided or sold at the café, but you can carry a bottle to the session if needed. Health & safety: The sessions involve loud sound vibration – if you have concerns (such as pregnancy, seizures or heart conditions) discuss them when booking. Children under 14 are not permitted to attend the group sessions (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Guests should not be under the influence of alcohol or strong medication. Arrival: Plan to arrive ~30 minutes before your start time. Aside from traffic delays (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ), registration and a quick orientation take place. The center strongly recommends arriving early, especially for moon ceremonies. Photography: Flashless photos of the exterior grounds or lobby are fine, but cameras and phones should be stilled once a session begins. Respect the intention of silence during sound baths. Etiquette: All participants share the space; remain quiet, keep movement gentle, and switch phones to silent. Sidestepping among mats during a session can disrupt others – it’s best to be settled in place once the gong starts. Age and gender: Pyramids of Chi welcomes adults of all genders. There is no formal dress code beyond clean, modest attire. Late arrivals: Sessions start on time (signaled by a gong). Latecomers may miss portions of a healing journey, and re-entry is usually not allowed. If you miss a shuttle or taxi, be sure to plan an alternate ride – the staff cannot refund no-shows due to transit delays. Cancellations: Cancellation policies vary by event; typically you can cancel 24–72 hours ahead with partial refund. Check your booking terms. Other tips: It’s advisable to postpone heavy meals or alcohol before a session (the energy work works best on a light stomach). After a sound bath, give yourself a few moments to “ground” – drink some water, eat something light or gently stretch. Finally, keep an open mind – many guests say “expect the unexpected” with their experience. By following these tips (and respecting the quiet, meditative setting), you’ll get the most from your visit to Pyramids of Chi.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of Pyramids of Chi?
Each pyramid space holds only a few dozen guests per session (there are no fixed seats). Participants sit or lie on yoga mats or waterbeds on the floor. In practice, Ancient Sound Healing sessions typically accommodate around 20–30 people, depending on the setup. Because events sell out, it’s safe to assume a moderate crowd and book early.
How can I buy tickets and pay?
Tickets are mostly sold online via the Pyramids of Chi website or authorized partners. You can pay by credit card or local bank transfer in IDR. The site also offers multi-session passes for a discount. In general, walk-up door sales are not guaranteed, so booking in advance is recommended. Keep the e-ticket or reservation confirmation handy on your phone when arriving.
What time do I need to arrive?
Most sessions start exactly on the scheduled time (signaled by a gong). Plan to arrive at least 20–30 minutes early. This allows time to park or meet the shuttle, check in, sign in, collect your welcome drink, and fill out any forms. Note that Bali traffic can be heavy, so factor that into your travel. The full-moon and new-moon ceremonies especially advise arriving 30+ minutes early since they are longer events with rituals and dinner (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ).
Is Pyramids of Chi wheelchair accessible?
The property has some paved areas and a welcome center, but accessibility is limited. The pyramids themselves sit on raised wooden platforms with steps. Foundation areas and garden paths are grassy and uneven. Visitors in wheelchairs or with severe mobility issues may find it challenging. If you have a physical disability, contact the center in advance – staff are usually willing to assist with transfers or finding suitable spots, but full ADA-style access is not available.
What should I wear for a session?
There is no strict dress code, but light, comfortable clothing is best since sessions often involve lying down or meditation. Yoga pants, loose shirts or activewear are typical. You will be barefoot in the pyramids, so socks or yoga socks are optional for hygiene. Avoid heavy jewelry or noisy accessories that might jingle. Since some people may meditate for a couple of hours, consider bringing a shawl or light blanket if you tend to feel chilly with the air on your skin.
Can I bring my phone or camera?
Photography outside in the gardens or at reception is fine, but during a session all devices should be turned off or silenced. No filming or flash photography is allowed once the session starts, in keeping with the meditative atmosphere. Guests typically leave cameras and phones in their bags or on standby. Using your phone disrupts the experience for others, so it’s recommended to fully unplug except for emergency use.
Where exactly is Pyramids of Chi located?
The address is Banjar Bentuyung, Jalan Kelebang Moding No.22, Ubud, Bali 80571 . This is about 3–4 km from Ubud’s central area (www.tripadvisor.com ). If you use a map or GPS, search for “Pyramids of Chi Ubud.” The venue is set on a rural road through rice fields, a short distance off the main Jalan Raya Ubud/Kelebak Moding, just past the Blue Karma hotel. There are usually signboards on-site in English/Bahasa guiding the way. If driving from outside Ubud, navigate to Ubud Palace area first, then head north on Jalan Suweta toward Banjar Bentuyung.
Are there parking facilities?
Yes, Pyramids of Chi has a small on-site parking area for cars and plenty of space for motorcycles. Parking is generally free for guests. If you arrive by car or motorbike, the staff will direct you where to park on the grounds. Street parking is not needed unless the lot is full (unlikely), since the property can hold a modest number of vehicles alongside the access lane. For Ubud visitors, note that parking at the gate is comfortable, and then you walk a short distance on level ground to check-in.
Do they offer a shuttle or public transport?
Yes, a free shuttle runs between central Ubud and the Pyramids. It departs from a pick-up point near Ubud Palace/Milk & Madu (opposite Puri Saren Princess Palace on Jalan Suweta) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Shuttles operate seven times per day (roughly 10:30am–6:30pm departures from Ubud, with corresponding return trips to Ubud (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com )). In practice, this covers most session hours. If the shuttle isn’t an option, taxis and motorbike taxis serve the venue on request. There is no local “bus” or transit line directly to this rural location, so private transport or shuttle is the safest bet.
What if I have to cancel or change my booking?
Cancellation policies vary by ticket type. As a rule, Pyramids events often allow free cancellation up to 24–48 hours before the start time. To modify or cancel, contact the booking platform or the venue’s guest services in advance. Closer to the session, tickets are usually non-refundable. For group ceremonies, the policy tends to be more strict (since meals and gifts are arranged). Always check the terms when you book. If you arrive late and miss the start, refunds are not given (“no-shows”).
Why wasn’t I seated in a pyramid with water around it?
Some guests have reported that certain sessions are moved to newer pyramid spaces (e.g. the Pyramid of the Earth or a land-based dome) if construction is underway or capacity is high (en.tripadvisor.com.hk ). The “original” Pyramid of the Sun has a core pool of water surrounding it, which many feel enhances the sound. If your session was in a different space and you expected the Sun pyramid, this may explain the difference. In practice, the management advises booking the Ancient Sound Healing session (Pyramid of the Sun) specifically if you want the original feature. All sessions use state-of-the-art sound equipment, but reviewers note the Sun Pyramid tends to be quieter with more resonant acoustics. If in doubt, check with reception at check-in to confirm which building you’ll use.
Are children or infants allowed?
No. All group sound and healing sessions at Pyramids of Chi are strictly for adults. The venue’s policy is that children under age 14 cannot attend (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Babies or toddlers are likewise not admitted to the pyramid ceremonies. This rule is enforced for safety and to preserve the meditative environment. (However, older teens 14+ can join with a ticket.) If you have young children, you would need childcare or separate arrangements, as family visits are not accommodated inside the sessions.
Is there a restaurant or bar on-site?
Yes. The “Pyramids Café by Malaika” serves as the on-site restaurant and juice bar. It offers a full vegan/gluten-free menu (smoothies, salads, soups, wraps, etc.). Hours typically span the day (from morning until evening) to feed both morning and evening program attendees. No hard liquor is served – the focus is on health foods and beverages. Many visitors grab a healthy meal or tea before or after their session. Aside from the café, no full bar is present. It’s smart to sip lightly before a sound bath (a welcome drink is provided) and avoid alcohol so that you fully receive the healing energy.
What languages are the sessions conducted in?
Most sessions and instructions are given in English (since the center caters to a global audience). Some practitioners may also know Bahasa Indonesia, and often music or chants are universal. You do not need any language proficiency to enjoy a sound healing session – it is largely a non-verbal experience. For workshops like breathwork or yoga classes, English terms are used; translators or subtitles are generally not provided. If you or your group prefer an interpreter, it’s best to arrange that privately.
Is Pyramids of Chi good for first-timers or beginners?
Absolutely. A typical visitor does not need prior experience with meditation or sound healing. The sessions are guided by experienced practitioners who usually explain everything at the start. The environment is designed to be welcoming even to newcomers. In fact, the founders say it’s a sanctuary for all, from “new to meditation” to seasoned practitioners (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). If it’s your first time, arrive with an open mind and willingness to relax. Many first-timers report feeling instantly soothed by the ambience. You can always sit or lie quietly; there’s no pressure to know any technique. If you have doubts, you could even start with a shorter daytime sound session before attending a longer ceremonial event.
What are the differences between the Pyramid of the Sun, Moon, and Earth?
Each pyramid structure has a slightly different purpose. The Pyramid of the Sun is the largest and is primarily used for Ancient Sound Healing sessions. It’s built to the 1:16 scale and often has a shallow water moat that many believe enhances the resonance (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). The Pyramid of the Moon is a bit smaller (1:18 scale) and is used for Light Sound Vibration sessions (it is equipped with RGB lights and waterbeds for vibrational light therapy) (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ) (www.tripadvisor.com.my ). Both have fixed walls, but the Pyramid of the Earth features walls that open to the outdoors and a teak-lined interior (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). The Earth pyramid is used for workshops that may require more movement (such as chakra dancing, cacao ceremonies, or yoga) since it’s very flexible in layout. All share the same 51.8° pitch and true-north alignment. In practice, if your ticket says “Ancient Sound Healing,” you’ll go to the Sun pyramid; “LSV” goes to the Moon; and so forth. Feel free to ask staff which pyramid your event will use when you arrive.
Does Pyramids of Chi support any local causes?
Yes. For example, those eye pillows given during moon ceremonies (filled with Mt. Batur sand) are hand-made by the Yayasan Corti foundation, which employs Bali’s hearing-impaired community (ubud.pyramidsofchi.com ). Thus a portion of proceeds supports that social enterprise. The gift shop and cafe often stock products sourced from Balinese makers (like crystals, herbs and natural crafts). The venue also emphasizes sustainability (solar panels power the site) and local craftsmanship in its construction. While not a charity, Pyramids of Chi clearly weaves community benefit into its model.
