The tour

This week is an invitation to slow down and reconnect through Bali’s spiritual traditions. Based in the heart of Ubud, it combines hands-on workshops, guided visits to sacred temples and wellness sessions designed for body and mind.

You make flower offerings, receive a holy water blessing at Tirta Empul temple, set off at dawn for the great temples of Lempuyang, Besakih and Goa Lawah, and discover traditional healing practices: crystal chakra healing, a cleansing ritual and palm reading. Yoga, meditation, a Kecak dance performance and free afternoons set the pace of the week.

It is designed for adults who want to understand Balinese Hinduism from the inside while taking time for themselves, away from the bustle of the usual tours.

What makes it different

  • A holy water blessing at Tirta Empul temple
  • Lempuyang, Besakih and Goa Lawah in a single day
