In Bali, we had the incredible opportunity to take part in a purification ceremony at Tirta Empul Temple—a soul-level spiritual cleanse we didn’t even realize we needed.
Wrapped in sarongs, we moved from fountain to fountain, cupping the sacred spring water in our hands, splashing it on our faces and on top of our heads, and letting go of anything that no longer served us—grief, fear, worry, the whole emotional backpack, if you will.
This ritual has been practiced in Bali for centuries, using the spring waters believed to carry divine energy and healing. It was super refreshing (read: cold as ice)—and it was profound. The energy around us was peaceful and powerful, with locals and other travelers showing up with open minds and a willingness to release and reset.
Definitely a highlight of the trip!
