The Festival will take place from 8th of April–12th of April 2020 at the Mansion Resort. The Mansion Resort is one of Bali’s rare gems – a boutique resort in the artists community of Penestanan, just a few minutes drive from the center of Ubud. Set in a tropical lush green park estate, this incredible venue is an adventure to discover, with water features, multiple pools, world-class restaurants and luxury spa; we’ll be in the lap of luxury!

You can book our “All-Inclusive” Pass to get a room in the resort or one of the partner hotels nearby so you can always be just a few steps away from the heart of the festival. Or book something close by and just enjoy the incredible venue during festival hours.

Whether you’re a thought leader, a digital nomad, a social entrepreneur, or an active dreamer, come join us in co-creating a space with like-minded community, where we can redefine the systems and rules society takes for granted, and break free together, creating the highest potential in life, for ourselves and for all of humanity.

We are expecting around 250–500 people from all over the planet with a very diverse background: 

• • People thriving for freedom and wanting to be location independent, travel more.
  • Digital nomads and entrepreneurs living the dream and ready to create even more freedom and abundance in their lives. 
  • Freedompreneurs who have already figured out the ups and downs of the freedom lifestyle and looking for the next step and challenge by living a more aligned and purposeful life and looking to contribute to humanity.
  • And people who have mastered their own personal needs and drive for freedom – in the outside world as well as within themselves. Living from this place of peace and wholeness, their aspiration is to contribute and give back to the society, doing whatever they are called to.

In general, please pack light and avoid bringing items which are likely to end up in a landfill on Bali. Specifically, you will need light and comfortable clothing for workshops, a reusable water bottle (we only offer refill stations so you must have your own bottle). Bring your journal or something to write so you can take notes. 

In addition, it would be useful to bring an unlocked phone so that you can buy a local SIM card for cheap calls, texts and mobile data. A card with sufficient credit for a week costs about IDR 100,000 which is under USD 8. You can buy a SIM card simply on the airport or for a cheaper alternative, ask your taxi driver to stop at a convenience store. You will need your passport to register. 

It can get quite humid during the day, so you might want to bring a small towel for daytime workshops.

Finally, check here if you are going to need an adapter for your devices.

• • For registration, please bring an ID or photocopy of your ID. Otherwise, your wristband is enough to re-enter the event
  • As most of you will travel with your computer, you are invited to bring it, yet it is your responsibility to take care of it. WE DO NOT PROVIDE LOCKERS ON SITE! 
  • Plugs and Sockets: In Bali and Indonesia you can expect the 2-pin socket and plug as used in larger parts of Europe. The pins are round, not flat or rectangular (the standard used in Bali is a 2-pin plug (round)). If you come from Australia, Japan, USA, Malaysia, UK, Canada, Singapore, and some countries in Africa, you will most likely simply need a plug adapter. Otherwise, the plugs for your electrical appliances will not fit into the "Bali socket," although the voltage should be okay.
  • Bathsuit/Towel
  • Sunglasses/Organic Vegan Sunscreen

Festival passes do not include food and accommodation. As for food, there are two restaurants on site where you can choose individual dishes and drinks with a variety of flavors and food choices, including raw, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, using a majority of local and organic ingredients.

Additionally, you can purchase our Add-On Meal Pass online here.

We love the idea of being able to create an environment that positively impacts your life, and at the same time, wouldn’t it be amazing if we could impact the lives of others who may not have the resources we have to receive even their basic needs met?

When you make a commitment to yourself, to stretch and grow, to be open to seeing the world with new eyes and taking action towards your life-purpose, it has an impact on those around us too!

When you join the Freedom X Fest in Bali, you’ll be personally making it possible for 1 Balinese man, woman or child to receive a free Eye Screening, at a roaming mobile clinic, for every $120 that you invest in yourself. People blinded by cataracts are referred to the mobile clinic for a sight-saving operation!

So even when just buying a ticket, you will have sponsored 5 people to receive a free Eye Screening.

Please do your research and assure that your passport is valid for more than 6 months.

You can find information here.

It is vital that anyone travelling to Indonesia has a health insurance. If you have an accident or fall ill during your time in Bali, medical care and hospitals can be expensive for foreigners without medical insurance and good private hospitals will never accept you without proof that you will pay for their services. Many hospitals, even in Bali, are not equipped to handle serious or complicated surgeries, so you would need to have an emergency evacuation coverage to Singapore or Australia; and without insurance, this can amount up to $50,000. A travel insurance great for all international travelers is Safety Wing. Make sure you have the necessary vaccines, get your insurance and read its conditions before you visit Bali and Indonesia; it could save your life.

Orientation is a chance for the entire team (volunteers as well as the main organizers of FXF2020) to meet and align before the festival. We ask that everyone attends since we will talk about roles, expectations, and get a chance to familiarize ourselves with the event space. This also tends to be one of our favorite moments as a team! If you cannot make it, please email us at volunteers@freedomexperience.io to let us know in advance. 

There will be three shift times – morning, afternoon and evening. We will ask for your preferred shift time and will try our best to accommodate your preferences. As with any event of this scale, we ask for everyone to be flexible since unexpected tasks tend to arise.

While we will try to accommodate everyone’s interests and skills, the final decision will be made based on team needs.

Team Leaders lead small team of volunteers (5–12 people, depending on the team they join). They are the liaison between their team and the core FXF2020 team. They will need to be in Ubud, Bali, by 6 April to familiarize themselves with the festival, their specific team needs, and to make sure volunteers get their shifts during the festival, etc. Because things can get hectic during the event, it is preferred that Team Leaders have experience managing people and/or similar events, etc.

You can let us know that you’re interested in being a Team Leader by responding to your acceptance email. Team Leaders We will let everyone know of their roles in March. 

You will have the opportunity to note your preference after you have been accepted as a volunteer. We will do our best to accommodate everyone but can’t guarantee first choice in shifts or teams.

Volunteer shifts will be assigned ahead of time so it’s not possible. However, once you are given your shift time, you are welcome to speak to your team and team leader about a shift swap. We do ask you to limit these requests since it’s hard to accommodate everyone.

It is your responsibility to get to the site of the festival at The Mansion in Ubud, Bali. From Denpasar Airport (DPS), it is about 1.5 hours by taxi and costs around 350,000 IDR. Scooters or taxis are the most common ways of getting around Ubud.
