Day 2 - August 13: “MELUKAT” & BALI SWING
Good Morning, Bali! We will start our first morning with a healing session of yoga practice in a beautiful yoga studio overlooking rice fields, followed by breakfast.
After breakfast, we’ll set off to visit one of Bali’s best-kept secrets, Mengening Temple, a natural wonderland of great significance to the island. Water healing or “Melukat” has been used in countless sacred ways since ancient times through religious and spiritual blessings, for cultural purification rituals, and personal healing as a therapeutic tool. Pilgrims from around the island and Indonesia visit Mengening to collect its holy water and cleanse themselves in the sacred pools.
Then we’re off on a great adventure that promises spectacular views to the thrill seekers in the group. High above the lush landscape in the rice fields of Tegalalang is the Bali Swing! Get your cameras at the ready!

Here we’ll be surrounded by the soulful sounds of trance-like music, thought by the Balinese to heal the mind, body and spirit. The vibrations of the music can also help to create a sense of peace and calm. Afterwards, we will enjoy lunch in the beautiful cafe at Pyramids of Chi.
Then it’s back to our home base where we will learn about the Balinese practice of “Canang Sari”, or the making of traditional offerings, easily spotted in every corner of Bali. These offerings can be as simple as a few grains of rice stuck to a slice of banana leaf or as ornate as an extraordinary floral arrangement. They may be small or large and are most often placed around the home. Balinese offerings are a conscious expression of gratitude intended to please and honor the Gods of the Island.
