Jiwa Damai

Jiwa Damai is a hands-on, socially responsible organic garden and retreat center with lush tropical vegetation in the heart of Bali. It provides a sanctuary in an idyllic, powerful environment where guests can experience tranquility and re-connect to the life-giving qualities of the earth. It is a meeting place for people from all over the world to find and initiate peace.
Beautifully decorated guest rooms, a spacious lounge and dining area, a fresh water pool, several ponds and a large agro-permaculture garden all situated within an abundant tropical vegetation make Jiwa Damai a perfect retreat place to relax in alignment with nature, learn about tropical flora und fauna and find time for reflection and contemplation.

The abundant tropical vegetation will enchant your senses. The place itself is blessed with several natural springs, supplying an affluence of crystal clear water, which, according to locals, are endowed with cleansing and healing powers. The waters feed the pool and nourish the water lily pond teeming with fish.

We regularly offer seminars with local and international participation on subjects relating to permaculture, organic gardening and tropical fauna and flora, as well as meditation, finding inner and outer peace, unfolding heartqualities, peace making and cross-cultural dialogues. Individual sessions for physical wellbeing, healing and bodywork can be booked as well. Holistic body therapies and psychotherapy are available upon request.
Together we can initiate peace.

"Unfolding the HeartSelf-Intelligence - Initiating Peace"
May 23-28, 2013
Facilitator Dr. Margret Rueffler
Registration: Current Events
More information: www.jiwadamai.net

In the seminar "Unfolding the HeartSelf-Intelligence" you will explore and study the personality as an interactive system whose characteristic traits or psychodynamic structures form a constellation around the "Self" with its creative potential. You will become acquainted with your own inner dynamics and peace potential by allowing the qualities of the heart to unfold. We will explore the laws which govern the unfolding of the qualities of the heart as well as the strength and power of acceptance. We will explore how our personal feelings, thoughts and actions influence others and the field we are embedded in. Change begins within and by looking through the eyes of the heart. One's attitude towards oneself begins to change. This, in turn, translates to a different vibration of the energetic field surrounding us. In addition we will study the research and measurements of the impact of the heart field vibration on our own health and environment and the heart-brain relationship.

" Permaculture through the heart " - a 4 week intensive internship training
May 15 – June 14, 2013
Facilitator Dr. Margret Rueffler
Registration: Current Events
More information: www.jiwadamai.net

This innovative program blends introductory with advanced learning and application of the core principles of tropical Permaculture/gardening with Self exploration from a transpersonal psychological perspective.
Experiencing Permaculture through the heart presents a unique opportunity to combine class room Permaculture learning with “hands-on” experience, complementing the active physical engagement with the soil with an inner attitude of loving alignment with the earth.
The internship is a combination of personal growth processes, allowing our heart energy to flow into our work with the earth, environment, water, soil, plants and people.
This program is the first of its kind, working with the psychological framework of the mind, theoretical Permaculture principles, design and planning, planting, harvesting and food preparation - all in alignment with the heart energy.
The fundamental understanding of the Permaculture principals, the interconnectedness and interaction of nature and environment will be aligned with our own personality landscape and deep inner nature which directly impacts the quality and nutritional value of the food.
