Permaculture Education & Demonstration Center

Project Description

Embun Pagi is proud to be a part of the growing global permaculture network. Since 2009, we have been organising Permaculture Design Courses with experienced permaculture teachers from the Asia Pacific, such as Chakra Widia, Christian Shearer and Greg Knibbs

Our aim is to facilitate the growth of permaculture in SEA by offering accessible and affordable Permaculture Design Courses. In the past we have had the pleasure of hosting a diverse group of local and international students.

The center is situated in Batu Arang, a quaint, village town nestled amidst lush greenery, 45 min away from the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. It is surrounded by 1 acre of land, which we transformed into a small-scale intensive permaculture system for residential living.

We harvest our own rainwater for domestic and irrigation uses, recycle our grey-water and retrofitted a conventional toilet into a composting toilet. Living in an area of abundant rainfall we have also created small aquaculture systems, including a fish pond, a taro-culture and a chinampa system in planning. A kitchen garden and a number of trees provide us with fresh vegetables, herbs and fruits.

Our house was abandoned for many years before we moved in and was slowly transformed into an education center with a classroom, dorms, bathing and dining facilities as well as outdoor seating areas with a cob oven, a fireplace and the daily company of our diverse wildlife.

The project is fully self-funded through its educational activities and has been successfully run by it's founders Sabina Arokiam and Juergen Soecknick since 2009 without any external funding. It can host up to 20 students at any one time, and is open to receiving permaculture volunteers throughout the year.

We are also lending our help to various community-based projects within Batu Arang that work with Burmese refugees and people with HIV Aids, who are looking for experienced volunteers to lead the set up of food production systems for their use. We are glad to host and support anyone who is keen to help them out.

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.
