Discover the Spiritual Heritage of Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu
Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu is a hidden gem! A water temple known for its sacred spring, where people come for melukat, a purification ritual tied to Hindu belief. Unlike the busier Tirta Empul, this temple is smaller, quieter, and surrounded by forests. It features terraced pools, shrines, and natural spring-fed ponds, with water believed to have spiritual cleansing properties that’ll wash away your negative energy and purify your soul. Dedicated to Dewa Vishnu, the god of water and preserver of life, this offers a chance to see AND experience how Balinese people maintain their spiritual practices in daily life! After the session, gather around for a delicious vegan Balinese lunch, lovingly prepared using local ingredients.
Explore the Making of the Luwak Coffee with a Coffee Plantation Tour
Embark on a journey through the lush landscapes of Kumulilir with our Luwak Coffee Plantation Tour. Discover the intricate process of crafting one of the world’s most unique coffees, from bean to brew. Stroll through the vibrant gardens where fresh herbs and coffee plants are locally grown and harvested. Learn about traditional Balinese coffee-making techniques and savor the rich flavors of freshly brewed coffee and tea, accompanied by a local Balinese snack. Enjoy access to scenic photo spots, capturing the beauty of this immersive experience.
Discover the Technique of Ancient Balinese Meditation
Immerse yourself in the transformative practice of Tantra Kundalini Omkara Siwa Siddhanta, an ancient meditation designed to awaken and balance the seven sacred energy points within. By focusing on self-centering and the divine beings linked to each chakra, this practice enhances inner power and harmony. Complementing the meditation, the Homa Yadnya Siwa Homa sacred fire ritual honors Agni, the fire of transformation. Through offerings of seeds, grains, ghee, and milk, we purify energy, nourish the earth, and invite divine blessings. This profound ceremony fosters self-purification, universal harmony, and a deeper connection between humanity and nature’s sacred rhythms.
Language Exchange and Balinese Vegan Lunch at Kelusa Village
Step into the welcoming home of a Balinese family in Kelusa Village for a language exchange session that bridges culture and connection. Guided by the family, you’ll practice basic Balinese and Indonesian phrases while gaining insights into their traditions and daily lives. This intimate experience not only deepens your appreciation for Balinese culture but also supports the family directly, as proceeds from the trip are contributed to them.
Our Effort for Sustainable Tourism
About the Family You’re Supporting
Meet the host family from Banjar Keliki Kawan, Payangan, who are central to our Impact Trips. With a modest income of just IDR 1.5 million ($100 USD) per month from Mr. Budiana’s occasional labor work, they face challenges in meeting daily needs and supporting their children’s education. Despite these hardships, their dedication to preserving Balinese traditions remains strong. They continue to actively participate in social and cultural activities, embodying the spirit of Bali’s heritage.
Using Tourism to
Empower Communities
Bali’s 80% source of income, tourism, is undergoing a transformation. While modern attractions overshadow traditional values, our mission is to use Bali’s main industry to preserve it’s cultural heritage and empowering local communities. Through our trips, travelers immerse in authentic experiences, while a portion of the proceeds is reinvested to sustain these traditions and uplift the community.
