"A
human being is part of of the whole called by us universe, a part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical
delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for
us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few
persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this
prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Inside The Bungalow is committed to giving back to the community by supporting fellow local businesses (preferred wedding vendor list), non-profit organizations and local artists. We are also committed to providing space, time, and resources for fundraising efforts for organizations that we believe share the same philosophy and values as we do at ITB.
