Jiwa Damai Agro-permaculture and Retreat Centre

Project Type

Rural, Commercial, Philanthropic aid, Educational

Project Summary

We have a permaculture garden practicing sustainable biological gardening based on EM (effective microorganism) technologies. One focus is to preserve rare species of indigenous plants, another to harvest coconuts and use local traditional methods to produce a pure virgin oil. One area contains a variety of medicinal and Balinese ceremonial plants, another commercial vegetables and fruit.

Project Description

Jiwa Damai Agro-permaculture and retreat centre benefits the local Lagu Damai foundation to support action projects and study programs for Indonesian youths. Our vision is to create a pilot project integrating biological permaculture with water preservation, waste recycling and application of solar energy.

The land is blessed with springs which produce high quality water, which is naturally circulated into the ponds surrounding the buildings and then flows into the agro gardens; no water is wasted. A large compost area was introduced in order to produce healthy fertilizer. A six part open septic tank recycles human waste. Solar energy is presently being looked into.

We offer courses and internships (group structured and individual tailor made) related to permaculture and other topics. We consider our site to be a 'playground for experimentation and learning' as well as for conservation of habitat and diversity.

Garden tours are offered twice weekly so people can come to learn from our experience and enjoy this energetic oasis.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
