A Balinese Offering Making Class
Discover the meditative and artistic process of offering making, allowing you to cultivate mindfulness and reverence.
Everywhere you turn in Bali, you will see small, beautiful parcels of woven palm leaves, flowers, and incense. These are Canang Sari, the daily offerings made by the Balinese people to give thanks and maintain balance in the universe. This sacred art is one of the most profound and visible aspects of Balinese culture—a living tradition and a beautiful act of gratitude.
Our Offering Making Class invites you to participate in this deeply spiritual practice, turning simple, natural elements into a beautiful prayer.
IDR 250,000 / 60 mins
In this intimate workshop, you will be guided by a local expert who will share the rich philosophy behind this daily ritual. Surrounded by colorful flowers, fragrant pandan leaves, and freshly woven palm leaf baskets, you will learn the deep symbolism behind each component. Discover why specific colored flowers are chosen and how the smoke from the incense carries the essence, or sari, of the offering to the heavens.
With gentle guidance, you will learn the mindful, artistic techniques of folding, weaving, and arranging. The focused, delicate movements quiet the mind, creating a state of moving meditation. Once your offering is complete, you will be shown how to present it with a traditional prayer, a beautiful culmination of your lesson in reverence.
This class is an opportunity to connect with the heart of Balinese culture and cultivate a moment of pure, mindful peace.
