Shankari's Sacred River Silks in West Bali is the birth place of these magnificent hand painted Sacred River Silks.
To obtain a deeper understanding of the intentions behind these silks enjoy the pictures and read Shankari's stories at the above website. Just visiting her website is a mini vacation that is well worth the trip.
The Magic of Silk is an article from the August-September 1999 issue of Echo Bali where one of Shankari's students shares her experience of silk, silk painting, and the silk painting classes that are offered at the Sacred River Retreat center.
These exquisite silks are all hand painted and sewn without electricity in two workrooms on the land of the Sacred River Retreat in West Bali. The hand craftmanship is superb and each garment is prepared with care. This business is owned by Omah. He is Shankari's son. Thus the name of Sacred River Silks By Omah on the label.
Energetically these silks are beyond compare. Like a quartz crystal they are programed with intention, amazing colors, and magical patterns. The fact that Sacred River Silks are sewn on treddle machines without electricity means that only the intended intentions go in.
The shear beauty of these silks can not be captured on a website, even though we try. Those of you that have had first hand experience with these silks can testify to their crystaline nature, luscious feel, and vibrant colors. Therefore we wish to remind you of our 30 day money back guarantee.
