There is a place near Amed that is full of natural beauty, a place hidden within the mountains, far from tourists, a place held sacred by the Balinese. It is the Sacred Springs. There are 5 separate springs in one small area, each with it's unique taste. Local people come here to gather holy water for their ceremonies. I decided to complete my own ceremony right at the springs, first using the gritty mud clay from the wall from which one spring emerges, followed by a holy water wash. It was my way of letting go of some old hindrances.

My dream includes bringing others to this sacred place and guiding them on their own special cleansing ceremony.
