Aligning with the song of the earth - a seminar experience in Bali with Dr. Margret Rueffler
Jiwa Damai - peace of soul - Banjar Bindu, Bali
Organic garden & retreat center
Jiwa Damai is a unique 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.
