Matasidhi Sacred Love Blessing
Book on Viator →Operated by Matasidhi · Bookable on Viator
One look at the schedule and you know this isn’t a quick selfie stop. In Ubud, you’ll join a private homa yajna or bebayuh sacred ceremony for couples, followed by a Balinese shaman’s relationship reading and a compassionate animal release. It’s spiritual, emotional, and very focused on your bond.
I especially like how the ritual is structured: the fire cleansing, the renewal of your couple promise, and then practical guidance through a karmic reading. I also like that the whole experience is handled gently and with clear explanations, so you’re not left guessing what’s happening. One consideration: the ceremony includes animal release, so if you’re sensitive about animal-related ceremonies, plan for a more emotional moment.

Sacred Love Blessing in Ubud: what you’re actually signing up for

This experience is designed around one goal: strengthening your spiritual bond as a couple. In practice, that means you’ll take part in a Balinese sacred ritual built on Vedic fire ceremony traditions (homa yajna), or a cleansing-and-purification offering practice (bebayuh). Then, after the main ceremony, a Balinese shaman does a karmic reading focused on your relationship path—your obstacles, your luck, and the kinds of advice that help you understand where you might be getting stuck.
For me, what makes this worth your time in Ubud is the way it connects ritual to relationship. This isn’t just “you burn something and feel better.” There’s a sequence: cleanse, commit, and then reflect with guidance that’s meant to help you move forward together.
And yes, it can be emotional. Several participants described it as very emotional and deep—spiritual to the point where you might want to mentally pace yourself. If you’re the kind of couple that enjoys meaningful ceremonies and conversation, you’ll likely appreciate the tone.

Homa Yajna vs Bebayuh: choosing the right couple blessing

You’ll do a couple blessing that centers on either homa yajna or bebayuh.
Homa yajna is a Balinese sacred healing fire ceremony originating from ancient Vedic texts. The idea is that the fire ritual helps you let go of unwanted aspects in life and supports new intentions—basically, release what’s weighing you down and make room for what you want to manifest.
Bebayuh is derived from the Balinese word Bayuh, which means cleanse and purify negative energies. In other words, it’s a purification offering intended to release negativity and bring in positivity so you can become more joyful and more conscious.
If you’re wondering which one fits you better, think in plain terms:
- If you want a ritual centered on fire healing and setting new intentions, go for homa yajna.
- If you want a purification focus on negative energies and emotional clearing, bebayuh may feel more aligned.
Either way, the ceremony is about couples renewing their promise. Reviews mention the experience as emotionally moving and spiritually rich, with clear explanations of the rite. That matters because it helps the ritual land in a way that feels personal, not mechanical.
Puri Ubud meeting point and the 2:00 pm timing: how the day flows

This experience starts at 2:00 pm at Puri Ubud in Ubud, Gianyar Regency, Bali. It ends back at the meeting point, so you’re not left hunting for a ride afterward.
Duration is about 5 hours, and it’s private—only your group participates. That combination is a quiet win in Ubud. A lot of Bali experiences are jammed into a half-day with other stops. Here, you get a more focused block of time that’s actually long enough for a ceremony to feel complete.
Pickup is offered, and you’ll have a mobile ticket. Confirmation happens at booking.
Practical tip: even though this is a spiritual ceremony, you still want to move through it like a real scheduled event. Wear clothing that’s comfortable for sitting/standing through a longer ritual. Bring something light for the later part of the afternoon because Ubud evenings can shift in temperature, and you’ll likely spend a good chunk of time listening and watching.
Inside the ceremony: what happens during homa yajna and bebayuh
Here’s the core flow you can expect, laid out simply.
First comes the couple blessing ceremony:
- If you choose homa yajna, you’ll take part in the Balinese sacred healing fire ritual.
- If you choose bebayuh, you’ll join the cleansing and purification offering ritual.
During this phase, the spiritual theme is purification and release. The ceremony is meant to help you let go of unwanted aspects (for homa yajna) and purify negativity (for bebayuh). You’ll also renew your promise as a couple, which turns the ritual from abstract spirituality into something relational and committed.
What stands out from the way people described the experience is that it’s not chaotic. One participant specifically noted strong organization and that they received explanations during the rite. Another mentioned that the overall presentation was beautiful, including the dress and hairstyle, plus a great location. So even if you’re not deeply religious, you’re likely to feel that someone thought through the whole experience, not just the fire part.
Second comes the “so what” moment: the ceremony ends, but you don’t just leave with feelings. You move into guidance.
The Balinese shaman karmic reading: turning a ceremony into relationship clarity
After the homa yajna or bebayuh, you’ll have a karmic reading session with a Balinese shaman. The reading focuses on your relationship path as a couple—your obstacles and luck—and it includes advice meant to help you understand what might be getting in the way.
This is where the experience can become useful beyond the spiritual. Even if you treat the reading as symbolic and reflective rather than literal, it still gives you structured prompts as a couple:
- What patterns might be repeating?
- Where could you be working with the wrong assumptions?
- What might you need to release to move forward?
The key is that this part is explicitly tied to the couple experience. It’s not a general fortune-telling moment. It’s meant to help you see your relationship journey with better clarity.
I also like that it’s scheduled after the ceremony. The cleansing and promise renewal set an emotional tone, so the reading can feel more like a guided conversation than a cold data dump.
Animal release: compassion, good karma, and your emotional readiness

Next is animal release, described as a compassionate act to sentient beings to bring good karma and fortune.
This is one of the few elements where your personal temperament matters. Some couples are totally fine with it. Others find it emotionally heavy, even when the intention is kind. If you’re the type who gets teary at the idea of any animal-related ceremony, consider that this part may hit harder than the fire did.
Still, the purpose is straightforward: compassion paired with positive intent. And since this is part of a couples’ blessing, it’s framed as a shared action for good fortune and karma.
My practical advice: don’t treat this as a quick photo op. Let it be what it is. If you need a moment to breathe before you continue, take it. Rituals work best when you don’t rush the emotional beats.
What makes it feel authentic in Ubud (and not staged)
In Ubud, it’s easy to spot experiences that feel like they were built for tourists first and culture second. This one tends to land differently because it follows a real ceremony rhythm: sacred cleansing, commitment renewal, then reading and compassionate closure.
That’s also why the quality of the setup matters. Reviews highlighted that people felt welcomed quickly with smiles and gentle manners. One review pointed out that the experience included a dress, hairstyle, and a location that made everything feel special. Another noted the organization and the explanations during the ritual.
Even if you’re not into spiritual traditions, you’ll likely appreciate the human side: calm pacing, helpful guidance, and a private setting where you can focus.
Price and value: what $172 buys you in a 5-hour private ceremony
At $172 per person, this isn’t a budget add-on. But it can still be good value, depending on what you want.
Here’s what you’re paying for:
- A private couple experience (only your group participates)
- A ceremony block around 5 hours
- Pickup offered (so you’re not managing transport on your own)
- A guided homa yajna or bebayuh couple blessing
- A karmic reading session with a Balinese shaman
- The closure element of animal release
- A mobile ticket and confirmation at booking
If you compare it to doing a generic ceremony plus a separate reading plus private transportation, this price starts to look more reasonable. You’re bundling the key pieces into a single, guided afternoon.
If, on the other hand, you’re looking for something light and casual, or you’re the type who doesn’t like structured rituals, you might feel the cost more than the benefit. This experience is clearly designed for couples who want meaning, not just aesthetics.
Who should book Matasidhi’s Sacred Love Blessing
This tour is best for couples who:
- Want a spiritual, relationship-focused experience in Ubud
- Like the idea of homa yajna fire cleansing or bebayuh purification
- Enjoy the idea of a karmic reading as part of relationship reflection
- Prefer a private setting over a big group setting
It also fits anniversaries, commitment renewals, or times when you want a structured moment to refocus together.
It may not be ideal if:
- You’re uncomfortable with sacred-fire rituals or extended ceremonies
- You’re extremely sensitive about animal release elements
- You want a quick cultural hit with minimal spiritual content
Practical advice for couples: make the ceremony feel meaningful
A few small, practical habits can help a lot:
- Treat the afternoon like a real appointment, not a casual stop. You’ll be there around 5 hours.
- Dress comfortably and modestly, since you’ll likely be sitting or standing through ceremony moments.
- If you get nervous around spiritual or religious rituals, you can still go. Ask questions during the explanations if something is unclear.
- If you’re prone to rushing, build in patience. The emotional tone matters.
Also, because reviews mention dress and hairstyle elements, you may want to arrive ready to be part of a more formal presentation. Even if you’re not sure what that means for you personally, the vibe is clearly intended to feel special.
Should you book it?
If you’re a couple who wants a purposeful, spiritual afternoon in Ubud, I’d say it’s worth strong consideration. The biggest reason is the structure: cleansing or fire healing, promise renewal, and then a karmic reading that’s specifically about your relationship path, plus a final compassionate closure.
Book it if you want your Bali trip to include something that feels intimate and grounded. Don’t book it if you’re hoping for a fast, casual activity or if animal release is a hard no for you emotionally.
If you do book, go in with an open mind and a calm pace. This kind of ritual works best when you’re not treating it like a checkmark.
