Immerse into Balinese culture & philosophy, and learn how to make your own offerings in this workshop guided by Purnama and her aunt Ayu Parniasih.

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!

"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!
