Experience the joy of creating a unique souvenir you craft yourself, and make a lasting memory with Shankari the Alchemist—the visionary artist behind the sanctuary.

Hidden by the sacred Balian River near the ocean in West Bali, this artist sanctuary is a place where art, spirit, and Mother Nature meet within a powerful natural vortex. The sanctuary itself—an old palace built by Shankari—is filled with intricate mosaics, each piece reflecting her devotion to the craft.

Step into a meaningful, intimate experience and create your own mosaic table (40 × 40 cm), guided step-by-step by Shankari. With decades of experience, she shares her intuitive approach, guiding you not only in technique, but in creating something deeply personal—an artwork infused with memory and meaning.

Begin by selecting your tiles and shaping your own design, then bring it to life using hand-cut materials and golden teakwood, with personal guidance throughout.

Pause for a peaceful afternoon tea with Balinese snacks and drinks—or take a refreshing swim in the sacred Balian River—before completing your piece and taking home a unique, handcrafted mosaic—your own meaningful creation.

Time: 13:00 – 17:00
Includes: All materials, guidance, and a break to relax, enjoy refreshments, or swim in the sacred Balian River

The mosaic table: 40 × 40 cm with folding legs, approx. 2 kg when finished
