Last year was the first year the word ‘overtourism’ made the dictionary. The press is filled with stories about the pressure on places like Venice and Bali, and it seems hopeless. Sean Nino talks about the changes that can and should be made. Watch: https://t.co/2BV6paJrj9

"Deep in the pain of grief lies the essence of what it means to be human. My invitation to you is this: How might you lean into any loss in your life?" With radical curiosity, thanks to @jonnym1ller's #TEDxUbud talk. @TEDxUbud#TEDx
.@jonnym1ller's fiance took her own life after an anxiety attack. He tells #TEDxUbud that the cure for the pain is in the pain, and quotes Leonard Cohen: "there is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." @TEDx#TEDx
“I believe grief is the price we pay for having let ourselves be deeply seen by another. By embracing this, we come to understand love will return in new & unexpected ways.” @jonnym1ller shares his gifts of grief as the waxing gibbous moon rises over the #TEDxUbud ampitheatre.
"Most of us aren't economic migrants. Many of us are well off, highly skilled. But none of us are safe. Returning home is an existential question for us. Do we live, or do we die?" Former refugee Abdullah Sarwari is #TEDxUbud's final speaker of 2019. @TEDxUbud#TEDx
The final #TEDxUbud speaker for 2019, Abdullah Sarwari, is a Pakistani refugee raised in Iran. He co-founded an informal refugee school—the Refugee Learning Center. Over the last 4 years, the school has provided free education to 300+ refugee children, men and women. @TEDx#TEDx
"If I wanted to learn how to dance like a dinosaur, I'd need to find a living one to teach me. Fortunately here in Indonesia we're surrounded by them every day," says @PrehistoricBody founder Ari Rudenko, as #TEDxUbud views a video of him mimicking the movements of chickens @TEDx
Starting off the final #TEDxUbud Session is @PrehistoricBody, which presents paleontology and the evolutionary sciences through contemporary dance-theatre. Four large buckets of clay were prepared for the dancers' body paint. The soundtrack is primal and visceral. @TEDx#TEDx
Artist Louise Despont has adopted an intuitive process in which she allows her drawings to develop as she creates them. She says her drawing state of mind "teaches her more than any other state of mind." #TEDxUbud@TEDx#TEDx
The Sindhen is the voice that communicates inspiration from the divine. When Peni sings as a Sindhen, she communicates with other Sindhen to remind them of their calling. #TEDxUbud@TEDx#TEDx
