What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Ubud hotel and collected in small-group or private format. The guide introduces you to traditional Balinese dress and explains its cultural context before moving to the craft station, where you'll make Canang offerings by hand. The group then travels to a natural temple featuring a waterfall, where you'll participate in a water blessing ceremony and complete a brief meditation practice.
Mid-journey you'll sample traditional jamu, an herbal preparation made to promote wellbeing. The experience concludes with a seated Balinese meal at a local setting, featuring dishes prepared according to traditional recipes.
