Zen-Zen emphasizes ecological sustainability on their quest to sustain, support, and promote traditional indigenous village handicrafts in Bali.
Zen-Zen was founded in the early 1990s
The name comes from a Japanese expression which loosely translates to "but of course--the natural serendipity which occurs when you're doing something positive for the planet"
They use ecologically sustainable, natural materials such as bamboo, vetiver, capiz shell and organic cotton and emphasize the 5 R's: Reduce, Re-use, Recycle, Refuse & Repair
Everything is hand-made by village artisans or in their Balizen workshop
Zen-Zen is involved in sustainable education, re-forestation, organic farming, community empowerment projects and contribute to the GreenSchool Bali scholarship fund
Artisans benefit from health insurance, a pension plan, and organized Friday afternoon sports.
