What do you like when visiting and enjoying the Bali culture? Visiting and living in Bali is amazing. One of the great places you can enjoy in Indonesia, Bali, is the most popular spot for digital hubs or travelers to work and live in heaven. The paradise creature, Bali, has always caught not only tourists from all around the world, but also locals who want to enjoy the cultural traditions through events, daily activities of culture, and more. In Alzeto Coliving, we’ve finished one of the chapters of cultural traditions in Bali, which is a Canangsari event, as a daily activity that always fulfills the local needs.
The event, held in the heart of Kuta, was not just a creative workshop; it was a cultural journey that brought together residents from around the world to learn, create, and connect through tradition. As a small but meaningful daily offering, Canangsari is an essential part of Balinese Hindu life. These offerings, made from flowers, leaves, and sometimes coins or rice, symbolize gratitude to the divine and are placed in temples, shrines, or even simple spots in homes and businesses. For many visitors who had enjoyed this event, finally realizing how the colorful offerings scattered across Bali’s streets are iconic and creating one is an entirely different experience.
During the event, Alzeto’s residents had the opportunity to learn the significance of each element of the Canangsari :
- Flowers representing sincerity and devotion
- Leaves symbolizing balance and nature’s connection
- Incense to deliver prayers to the gods
The event was guided by locals. We not only offer to learned the step-by-step process of creating Canangsari but also gain insights into how this ritual represents harmony between humans, nature, and the divine. More than just a workshop, this event became a meaningful community-building moment. Guest also shared stories of their travels, exchanged cultural experiences, and formed connections over the shared act of crafting offerings. Some guests who attended remarked how these events can help them feel closer to the local culture while balancing their modern lifestyle in Bali.
As a coliving that is also the place to be your second home, this Canangsari event is part of a series of cultural activities designed to help guests not only stay but truly belong in Bali. Alongside modern facilities such as coworking spaces, a pool, gym, shared kitchen, and weekly networking events, Alzeto fosters an environment where culture meets community. The events really give a meaningful story of how Canangsari is presented in daily Balinese life, from temples to small businesses, as a sign of gratitude and blessings.
As the evening wrapped up, guests left with more than just the Canangsari they created; they also carried a deeper understanding of Bali’s spiritual heartbeat and met new people to build a friendship or business partners. For Alzeto Coliving, this event is designed to help guests not only stay in Bali but truly belong in Bali. Enjoy our next cultural event, only in Alzeto Coliving.
