Healing Through Mencanting: Celebrating National Batik Day with PFI Mega Life

02 Oct 2025

 

October 2 is celebrated as National Batik Day, a significant moment to honor Indonesia’s cultural heritage that has gained worldwide recognition. Batik is not just fabric; it is a symbol of identity, philosophy, and profound beauty.

To commemorate this year’s National Batik Day, PFI Mega Life organized a special workshop for employees: a batik-making (mencanting) activity. Through this event, employees were invited to experience firsthand the batik-making process, from sketching patterns to applying wax with a canting tool.

Beyond being a cultural celebration, this activity also forms part of the company’s mental health awareness campaign in the workplace. The batik-making process which requires focus, patience, and calmness is believed to promote relaxation and mindfulness. By creating a creative and enjoyable environment, PFI Mega Life aims to support employees in achieving balance, not only in their careers but also in their mental well-being.

PFI Mega Life believes that employee well-being is the foundation of building a strong company. Through initiatives like this, the company hopes each individual can experience positive benefits both in preserving cultural heritage and in enhancing health and well being.

Happy National Batik Day! Let us preserve our nation’s culture while also taking care of ourselves body and mind.
