Canang Sari Making Class
Step into the warm embrace of a traditional Balinese household and learn the art of Canang Sari—a Hindu Balinese daily offering that embodies gratitude and harmony. Taught by a local family, you’ll learn how to weave together fragrant flowers, leaves, and natural elements to create your own Canang Sari.
As you craft this beautiful offering, you’ll gain insight into its deep spiritual significance in Balinese culture and the heartfelt intentions behind each gesture. It’s a hands-on experience that connects you to the island’s rich traditions in a truly authentic way.
Balinese Fire Ceremony & Meditation
Step into a transformative experience that blends ancient Hindu tradition with deep inner healing. Begin with a sacred fire ceremony, where offerings of seeds, grains, and ghee are placed into the flames, symbolizing purification, renewal, and divine connection. As the fire burns, it carries prayers for universal harmony and well-being. Following this ritual, embark on a powerful meditation practice designed to awaken and balance your chakras, the seven sacred energy points within the body. Through this journey, you’ll release energetic blockages, enhance clarity, and cultivate inner peace, creating a profound connection between your soul, the universe, and your highest self
Melukat at Tirta Empul
Immerse yourself in the sacred waters of Tirta Empul, one of Bali’s most revered temples, for a Melukat purification ceremony. Surrounded by the serene beauty of ancient stone carvings and flowing springs, you’ll take part in this deeply spiritual ritual, guided by a local who will share the temple’s history and meaning. With the Canang Sari offering you’ve created, you’ll present your intentions and let the holy waters wash over you, symbolizing a fresh start and a deeper connection to the island’s spiritual energy.

Our Effort for Sustainable Tourism
About the Family You’re Supporting
Meet the host family from Banjar Keliki Kawan, Payangan, who are key to our Impact Trips.

Despite these challenges, they are committed to preserving Balinese traditions and engage in social and cultural activities, reflecting Bali’s heritage.
