Sebetu Holy Waterfall
As one of the Manusa Yadnya ceremonies, rituals related to the various stages of a human’s life, melukat is derived from the word lukat taken from the ancient Balinese-Javanese language Kawi, which means bersihin, ngicalang in ordinary Balinese language, or to cleanse and purify in English. For Balinese Hindus, the melukat ritual is a symbolical and literal cleansing of the body and soul aimed at preventing misfortune and bad luck, including sickness or havoc caused by daily activities and sins.

Trip Tips
Getting There
Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the international airport you will be flying into. Remember you can lose up to two days with the time change and flight time, so double check your arrival date and retreat start date. Many people chose to stop somewhere for 2-3 days prior to the retreat - Vietnam, Thailand, Bali. This is a great way to explore somewhere new and get adjusted from jet lag. mWe can talk through any of your travel plans and offer suggestions. We will arrange private transportation for you. One of our trusted drivers will meet you with a Soulshine Bali sign and a big welcome smile.
Reserve Your Spot
Space is limited! Secure your spot with a 15% deposit and pay the remainder of the retreat in full by 60 days before when the retreat begins, or sign up for a monthly payment plan which requires a $500 deposit to secure your spot.
