BALI, balitourismnow.com – When was the last time you visited Utama Spice? This Bali-based fitness brand demonstrates how purpose and community remain at the heart of everything it does.
From fitness gatherings to impactful charity events, July 2025 is a meaningful month for Utama Spice, a Bali-based fitness brand dedicated to natural living, cultural heritage, and social responsibility.
Through a series of carefully curated initiatives, the brand continues to embody its core philosophy: For People, For Planet, For Us.
In early July, Utama Spice proudly supported a Charity Obstacle Course Run in Bali, organized in collaboration with Right Reasons and Educate Bali.
This family-friendly event brought the community together for exercise and fundraising, with all proceeds donated to expanding English literacy programs in underserved communities in Bali.
The event was funded by Right Reasons Funding, an organization founded by Duaine James, whose mission is to empower grassroots charities with the tools, strategies, and support they need to focus on meaningful impact.
“My life is focused on helping those around me. If the purpose comes from the heart and the impact is clear, we want to help,” said Duaine.
In celebration of International Self-Care Day on July 25, Utama Spice collaborated with The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud Bali to host an intimate wellness gathering titled Scents of Self-Care.
Held in the resort’s tranquil yoga pavilion, the afternoon event featured a DIY candle-making workshop by Utama Spice, a guided meditation, and a massage demonstration from the resort’s Heavenly Spa.
The event encouraged guests to reconnect with themselves and reflect on the importance of small, restorative rituals in everyday life.
The month concluded with a lively cultural exhibition at Utama Spice’s flagship store in Sanur on July 26, where the brand partnered with Munti Gunung Social Enterprise to host batik styling and DIY skincare workshops.
Munti Gunung is dedicated to supporting underprivileged communities in Northeast Bali by building sustainable livelihoods through traditional crafts.
Guests were treated to a preview of Munti Gunung’s new batik motifs, hands-on body scrub creation using Utama Spice’s Rosella blend, and warm encounters with loyal customers, artisans, and community supporters.
On August 9, 2025, Utama Spice participated in the WellNest Festival Jakarta at Habitat Park. As part of this world-first holistic wellness day festival, the brand showcased essential oils for its Sensory Room—a dedicated aromatherapy space designed to calm and inspire—along with a DIY essential oil roller booth and product sampling and sales at Utama Spice’s booth.
The WellNest Festival brings together families, friends, and individuals of all ages to explore movement, mindfulness, nutrition, play, and culture in a lush urban oasis, creating a vibrant and meaningful experience for the Jakarta community.
“We don’t view these moments as something separate from what we do every day,” said Ria Templer, President Director of Spice.
Each of these initiatives is a testament to Utama Spice’s belief that business should be a force for good. Whether promoting self-care, expanding access to education, or preserving heritage crafts, the brand remains rooted in Balinese values and a genuine desire to create a lasting impact.
“These moments are part of our DNA—deeply connected to our roots in Bali, and to our vision for a more caring and sustainable future,” she concluded. [oko]
