Immerse into Balinese philosophy and spirituality in this enriching cultural experience.

Whether you’re visiting Bali for the first time or have long felt a connection to the island, this is a rare opportunity to step beyond the surface and into the living heart of its people and traditions! 🌺

We will begin by exploring the essence of Balinese spirituality hat weaves through every aspect of daily life. You’ll then be guided through a hands-on experience of creating your own canang - the small, beautiful offerings made of palm leaves and flowers that adorn every temple and street corner.

These offerings are more than decoration; they are daily acts of prayer and gratitude that sustain the island’s spiritual energy. As you craft your own, you’ll learn about the ancient wisdom behind this thousand-year-old tradition. Though deeply rooted in Balinese culture, these teachings speak to something universal - reminding us of the sacred in everyday life, and guiding us back home to presence, gratitude, and connection.

Our journey continues with a visit to the Pura Desa (village temple) and the Beji (holy spring) to make an offering and receive the purifying waters - a simple yet profound moment of communion with the sacred. Lastly, there is an opportunity to enjoy a delicious Balinese dinner in the family compound!

Let yourself be touched by this sacred art, and carry home not only a deeper sense of harmony, but also a piece of Bali’s beauty and wisdom within you. 🌿✨

Facilitators

This workshop is held by Purnama and her Balinese family - her aunt Ayu Parniasih, her uncle Ngurah Pecus, and their daughter Cahaya Wedha.

Purnama has been guiding cultural immersions in Bali for the past 7 years, continually refining her offerings with each experience. Alongside this, she has deeply immersed herself in indigenous wisdom traditions from around the world, participating in countless ceremonies with elders and wisdom keepers. These experiences have enriched her work, allowing her to weave together universal threads of remembrance and reverence. She also shares her love for philosophy by teaching Vedic wisdom in Yoga Teacher Trainings across the globe.

Ayu Parniasih was born and raised in Ubud before marrying into Purnama’s family and settling in their ancestral village of Bedulu. She and her daughter, Cahaya Wedha, are both traditional Balinese temple dancers, carrying forward the sacred lineage of movement and devotion. Since 2020, they have been collaborating with Purnama in her cultural offerings, sharing the beauty and depth of Balinese tradition, and inspiring with their deep devotion.

What other people have said:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the offerings workshop. The most valuable thing for me was the way the significance about the elements of the offerings were explained, how the offerings relate to the balance of life in appeasing and thanking the spirit world, and more. I have been coming to Bali for 15 years, and have tried many times to learn more about the offerings. Your offerings class gave me what I was seeking ... and so much more. I would happily attend again. It should almost be mandatory for not just visitors to Bali, but expats also, to attend your very informative and enjoyable offerings session. Thank you so much for enlightening me in something I have been very curious about for a long time, but, until now, hadn't yet found the right person/place to provide the information!"

"My dear sister Purnama hosts the most incredible Balinese Culture classes in Bali. I highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting to deepen their relationship with the land and the culture. She is also an amazing artist and space holder.

I have been going to many ceremonies and just did what I was told to do, but now there is this deep sense of connection. I'm so grateful for Purnama to share her gifts!"

Nhi Nhi Le, Meditation Teacher and Retreat Facilitator

"I’m so glad I heard my intuition and went to the workshop that day. A stronger force helped me to be there and now I understand why. Not to sound too woo-woo but seriously.. ever since I did the workshop, started doing my daily offerings, going to the temples with the offerings, it feels like a “portal” opened in my life. I understood why Bali called me 6 years ago and so many other things.. like really life changing things. I just had one of the most beautiful important weeks of my entire life and I believe is due to everything you and your family shared with us that day. So really, Purnama, there are no words that can describe my gratitude to you. But I’ll make sure to always keep an extra prayer for you and your family. 🙏🏼 It was a really unique and special experience that I wish everyone that comes to Bali could have it to learn how honor everything that She gives freely.
