About this tour
Work with a Balinese healer to rebalance your energy centres during this 4–6 hour spiritual session in Bali. You'll craft Canang Sari (daily temple offerings) alongside locals, learn their symbolic meaning, then participate in Melukat—a cleansing ritual at Mengening Temple's sacred spring. A shaman guides chakra work while you absorb mantra chanting techniques rooted in local practice. Finish by receiving a Tridatu bracelet, representing the three elemental forces in Balinese belief.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. After arriving at Mengening Temple, you'll change into a sarong and meet the resident shaman. The first part focuses on chakra work—the healer discusses your energy imbalances and guides adjustments based on emotional patterns. Next, you'll sit with local practitioners to fold flowers, leaves and incense into Canang Sari baskets, learning the purpose each element serves in Balinese ceremonies. Mid-morning, you'll wade into the temple's spring for Melukat, where cool water flows over you while the shaman chants protective mantras overhead. You'll repeat these mantras softly, internalising their rhythm. Finally, you'll place your finished offerings at the temple altar and receive your Tridatu bracelet before heading back.
