This article aims to examine the relationship between the concept of self-reflection in the Eternal Fire Ceremony of Khayangan Api and the principles of multicultural counseling. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews and relevant literature studies. The results of the study show that cultural values in the ceremony are relevant to the development of self-awareness through self-reflection, cultural identity awareness, and the meaning of individual life experiences.
