I had a wonderful trip to Ubud, Bali. While I was staying at Maya Ubud, I took advantage of their Spiritual Journey package and had several activities pre-planned. Two of these activities were learning how to make an offering and then bringing the offering to temples. So, let’s learn how to make an offering!
![There are intricate details to making/creating an offering to bring to the Temples. You need Coconut Palm Leaves, Bamboo Skewers for threading the pieces together, or you can use a stapler. ;)](https://livelightandtravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/MakeAnOffering1-1024x942.jpg)

At the end of our offering and temple tour, my guide and I say thank you!
