About the event
About the Full Moon Ceremony
In Balinese culture, the full moon, or purnama, is considered an especially auspicious time for prayer, gratitude and spiritual renewal. The full moon ceremony at REVĪVŌ taps into that ancient rhythm, inviting guests to pause, release what no longer serves them and set fresh intentions beneath the night sky. Set within the calm of a dedicated wellness resort in the Bukit highlands, it is a gentle, guided experience open to anyone seeking a meaningful reset.
Rather than a performance to watch, this is a ritual to take part in. The full moon's energy is traditionally associated with clarity, completion and heightened emotion, making it a natural moment for reflection, meditation and intention-setting.
What the Ceremony Involves
While each session has its own flow, full moon ceremonies of this kind typically weave together several restorative elements: a grounding meditation, breathwork to settle the mind, and a sound healing journey using singing bowls, gongs or chimes whose vibrations encourage deep relaxation. Many include a moment of intention-setting or release, sometimes with simple symbolic gestures, candles or written reflections. The aim throughout is to move you from the busyness of the day into a state of calm presence.
Highlights
- A guided meditation and breathwork sequence to quiet the mind.
- Immersive sound healing with resonant instruments such as singing bowls and gongs.
- Intention-setting inspired by the symbolism of the full moon.
- A tranquil, elevated setting at REVĪVŌ's wellness sanctuary on the Bukit Peninsula.
- A welcoming, all-levels atmosphere with no prior experience required.
Who It's For
This ceremony suits anyone craving stillness, from seasoned meditators to complete beginners. It is a beautiful choice for solo travellers on a personal journey, couples seeking a shared moment of calm, or anyone weaving wellness into a Bali trip. You do not need any background in meditation or yoga; you only need an openness to slow down and be present.
How to Prepare
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing you can sit or lie in for an extended period.
- Arrive a little early to settle, and avoid a heavy meal right before the session.
- Bring an open mind and, if it helps, a private intention you would like to focus on.
- Switch off your phone fully to protect the shared atmosphere.
- Stay hydrated afterwards, as sound and breathwork can leave you deeply relaxed.
Good to Know
Full moon ceremonies follow the lunar calendar, so dates shift each month and may not align with standard weekends. Sessions can fill quickly, particularly during peak season, so booking ahead is wise. Programs, facilitators and inclusions vary by date, and access may depend on whether you are a resort guest or external visitor, so check REVĪVŌ's official channels for the current schedule, pricing and booking conditions before you plan your evening.
Why Go
Bali has long drawn travellers seeking renewal, and few experiences capture that spirit as purely as a full moon ceremony. Combining Balinese reverence for the lunar cycle with modern sound healing and meditation, the ritual at REVĪVŌ offers a rare chance to truly switch off, exhale and reconnect, leaving you lighter, clearer and more present for the rest of your journey.
