About the event
The "canang", offerings made of palm leaves and filled with flowers, are present everywhere throughout the island and can not be missed. They are an intrinsic part of what makes the Balinese culture so unique, and the daily prayers help to maintain the spiritual nature and devotional energy of the island.
This is a workshop dedicated to this ancient tradition that dates back a thousand years. You will not only learn how to make Balinese offerings yourself, but also learn their history and Balinese philosophy. We will also explore how it can be translated into our daily lives, and the similarities with other cultures around the world.
The rite of giving offerings will not only foster a deeper connection with the island of Bali and its inhabitants, but also with our ancestors and the worlds around and within us. Let yourself be enriched by this sacred art!

Guiding into your inner wisdom
through songs & sacred Spaces
Hello and welcome to my world!
My name is Purnama, and I am a Balinese-Swiss artist, singer-songwriter, culture guide, visual artist, and ceremonialist.
I am deeply devoted to creating sacred spaces for people to gather,
united through the universal language of music and the power of rituals.
Descending from a lineage of priests & temple keepers in Bali, I am also dedicated to preserve indigenous and ancestral wisdom for the generations to come.
Music, art and community have been my guiding lights while navigating the many trials & challenges of life.
In the same way, I hope that my music and events help to inspire and uplift you too, foster a deeper connection with the world around, and remind you of your own light and inner wisdom!
