YADNYA - The Art of Balinese Offerings
YADNYA - The Art of Balinese Offerings
Immerse into Balinese philosophy and spirituality in this enriching cultural experience on the first New Moon of the year 2026. 🌙Â
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 tourist path and into the living heart of its people and traditions! 🌺Â
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, as it is traditionally done in Bali on the New Moon - 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. 🌿✨
With love,
Purnama, Ayu, Cahaya & Ngurah
