The sacred Nyepi Day is the Balinese New Year, where Balinese people welcome their new beginning in seclusion, reflecting on their lives in the year that has passed and meditating for a better tomorrow. The island shuts down for 24 hours, and everyone must remain inside their homes and hotels with limited sound or light. This tradition gives a chance for everyone and everything to cleanse and begin a positive year with a pure heart.
The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali has launched uplifting activities for its guests who are staying at the resort during the Nyepi period. In collaboration with Apel Hendrawan, an inspiring artist and painter hailing from the beautiful coastal area of Sanur village, Bali, is a place rich in artistic and cultural history. Having faced turbulent times in life, Apel Hendrawan has turned his melancholic experiences into his muse and now he has been able to dedicate his life to inspiring others through his painting and sculptures. His expertise in arts has also brought him to Hamburg, Germany where he joined the exhibition at Pasar Hamburg, Messehale, with his masterpiece, Resurrection III, Sabda Pertiwi. During the Nyepi celebrations, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, and Apel Hendrawan are collaborating to bring together an exclusive painting exhibition entitled “From Mythology to Sacred Script, From Ashes to Jatayu”. This soul-stirring exhibition will be followed by “Celebrate Bali” a unique cultural event on 17 March 2023.
“Celebrate Bali” is a fusion of creative programs and signature events that the resort dedicates to the island filled with magic, Bali, and the people whose appreciation and pride of their local culture is rooted deep in their soul making them a source of inspiration for others. At this celebratory event, guests are welcomed by the fascinating traditional Balinese welcome dance which will be followed by the admirable performance from the students of Sekolah Luar Biasa Jimbaran, Bali. During this inspiring event, participants are also invited to join in the sketch painting ceremony alongside the artist, Apel Hendrawan himself. This moment of celebration also provides the guests of the resort with an exceptional Nyepi experience in Bali that is unforgettable.
