CULTURAL HERITAGE OF BALI

Discover the ancient craft of Balinese calligraphy as you delve into the rich history of Aksara Bali. The traditional Balinese script is celebrated for its exquisite intricacy and beauty, standing alongside Aksara Jawa (the traditional script of Java) as one of Southeast Asia’s most elaborate Brahmic writing systems.

Playing a vital role in the island’s time-honored ceremonies, Aksara Bali is inscribed on lontar palm leaves, meticulously crafted through a labor-intensive process involving harvesting, boiling, drying, pressing, and precise cutting. While modern techniques may expedite production, dedicated artisans continue to uphold traditional methods, ensuring authenticity and longevity.

Introduced as part of Conrad Bali’s 20th Anniversary celebrations, the Aksara Bali writing session immerses resort guests in this important Balinese tradition. In the 60-minute class, participants not only learn the intricate art of writing but also gain profound insights into the island’s enduring traditions and beliefs.
By participating, guests contribute to the continued cultivation and preservation of this revered calligraphy skill.

CRAFTING WITH PURPOSE

Initiated by leading environmental NGO Bye Bye Plastic Bags, Mountain Mamas is transforming the lives of rural Balinese women living on the slopes of Mount Batukaru, one stitch at a time. By empowering them with the skills to create beautiful, reusable bags from pre-loved materials – including in part from Conrad Bali’s discarded linens – the inspiring social enterprise is supporting their economic conditions and reducing plastic pollution. 

The Mountain Mamas: Crafting with Purpose workshop invites guests to celebrate the women’s journey and creativity, as well as the project’s remarkable economic and environmental impact. While being guided on how to create your own reusable bag from recycled materials, you’ll hear about the crucial importance of sustainable practices and reducing plastic waste, and discover how crafting connects us to our community and nourishes our wellbeing. 

The Mountain Mamas project exemplifies the power of creativity, community, and purpose. By crafting together, we honor these women’s resilience and contribute to a more sustainable world. Remember: Every stitch counts and every bag matters.
