Campuhan River Ritual
Duration: 2-3 hours
​
The Campuhan River Ritual is a traditional purification experience held in nature, at the meeting point of rivers in Ubud.
​
In Balinese spiritual tradition, places where rivers meet are considered especially powerful for cleansing and renewal. This ritual is offered as a way to support clarity, grounding, and a sense of release on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

Testimonials
​
'Vas is a beautiful and wise soul. After one session with him, I feel brighter and more of the real me, than I have ever felt before. As a spiritual girl, I often practice clearing and healing practices on myself. But as Vas explained it to me- when you work together with someone else, it’s like lifting a heavy object- you can each take one end and the load becomes lighter.
With Vas’s experience and deep knowledge, I was able to clear energy that had been stubborn and cycling around my body - reflecting in my life, for years.
It was intense to let go of so much, but immediately (and some weeks after the session as I write this), I am so happy and calm. I felt safe and supported the whole time - it was absolutely worth it. I haven’t seen these results with any other teacher or practice to date.
As part of my treatment I chose to partake in a purification ceremony. We travelled to a beautiful spot near Ubud where the rivers meet as hot and cold. It was so great! I highly recommend this. My friends said I came back from the ceremony glowing - like I was a new person. I couldn’t stop taking selfies - it was better than a day at the spa! And by the way - as part of the ceremony you make a wish. That wish has changed the way I face every day. I feel really blessed I made the decision to go. Booking time with Vas is a must if you’re in Bali. Next time I’ll be staying longer that’s for sure!'
