Agada Holistic

The room arrives in the morning quietness north of central Ubud — Tegalalang, rice fields and the edge of jungle, the same ecology that Hati Suci Sanctuary sits within. A circle of cushions, a single thread of bowl-music opening the space, Medicine Woman Claire welcoming with the directness of someone who has held this format many times before. The hosted-in-the-living-room frequency is intentional — Agada Holistic is a healing collective, not a retreat property, and the gatherings carry that domestic-but-altared quality the way a kitchen carries food.

The name itself names the work: agada in Sanskrit means without disease, antidote, remedy; in Ayurveda agada-tantra is the branch concerned with toxins, their counteragents, and the restoration of balance. Holistic completes the frame — the antidote is to the whole body, in its physical-emotional-mental-spiritual layers, not to a symptom in isolation. The dragonfly that carries the logo holds the same lightness — a body that begins underwater and learns to see through air, transformation as the very fact of being alive.

Claire Ceo founded the collective in Bali after years of studying Energy Medicine — homeopathy, plant medicine, sound healing, kinesiology — and weaving them together rather than choosing one. The collective is also a community: eleven or more attuned members live together in a household north of Ubud, sharing daily rhythm and the practice of holding gatherings open to the wider field. Kalimba Claireaux, Giles, and Claire are among those who live there. The monthly Holistic Health and Natural Medicine session is one of the regular threads — by donation, with exact location shared on RSVP through Instagram @agada.holistic. "Test bodies welcome" is the language Claire uses to invite people who want to be read alongside the teaching — signaling the kinesiology frequency the collective carries as practice, not as accessory.

What we know from the May 10, 2026 Sunday gathering: the host was Claire ("Medicine Woman, Claire"); the guest practitioner was Dr. Ida Bagus Kesnawa, the head of Bali's biodynamic farming community; the focus was Energy Medicine with phytotherapy as the deeper layer; Dr. Bagus's "food as medicine" framing came from his biodynamic work and his medical work in one breath; demonstrations of muscle-testing, surrogate-testing, and photograph-reading happened live in the circle. The encounter is recorded as a transmission in the Ubud embodied lineage.

What we do not yet know we hold openly: when Agada was founded; the formal lineage of Claire's energy-medicine training; the exact location of the household (shared by RSVP only); the full eleven-plus members' practices, gifts, and roles within the collective; the rhythm of the year — whether the monthly gathering is the only regular thread or one of several layered rhythms; whether Agada and Hati Suci are the same property, adjacent properties, or unrelated places that happen to share Tegalalang. Kalimba Claireaux and Giles are named here as community members met through lived encounter — held without external binding, to deepen as relationship deepens.

What is already resonating: the sanctuary word and the Ubud lineage cluster, now extending north into Tegalalang to meet Agada Holistic. The healing-as-community frequency — practitioners living together and offering from the household, not from a clinic — echoes Ranakami, where Elios and Ilena's Sunday-night chanting carries a similar form. The "food as medicine" bridge that Dr. Bagus brings places Agada in adjacency to permaculture, biodynamic agriculture, and the farm-as-organism frequency this network has named as concept. The kinesiology layer brings the "test bodies welcome" register — the body itself as the most truthful instrument we have access to.

We are a small networked community that has encountered Agada Holistic through one cell's three visits to DISSOLVE — where Kalimba Claireaux was present each time, and the Saturday conversation with Vasudev Baba about finding a community landing spot opened to include Kalimba's invitation to the Sunday Agada gathering. The encounter was the gift. The presence file is the first breath of remembering that the collective, the household, the practitioners, and the practice were already woven before we arrived.
