Description

Begin your journey with a visit to a traditional morning market, where you’ll learn to select fresh flowers and natural ingredients used for daily offerings. Continue to a local family house compound for a hands-on offerings workshop. Here, you’ll learn how to create canang sari, the most essential Balinese offering, while understanding the meaning behind each color, flower, and placement. Your host will share stories about family tradition, daily rituals, and the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana—the Balinese way of harmony. After preparing your offering, visit a nearby ancient site connected to Bali’s early spiritual heritage. Here, you’ll join a Melukat purification ritual led step-by-step by your local guide, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable at each stage. Experience the calming holy spring, the sound of flowing water, and the serene atmosphere of a sacred place untouched by mass tourism. The journey closes with a simple surudan—a traditional blessing ritual using your own offerings—symbolizing gratitude and spiritual renewal.
