Sustainable Living Bali: Land-Ancestors-Learning
A non-profit organization: Yayasan ‘Hidup Lestari Kembali’ means ‘Live Sustainably Again’
Our current focus is protecting ancestral land and helping the elders in the community. We’re located near Penatahan Village, Tabanan, Bali, Indonesia; about 1 hr NW of Ubud, with an office located on the 6 hectare site of Bali Silent Retreat , which operates a sustainable retreat and offers simple sustainability tours for its guests.
In 2019 we pulled together a type of school, where anyone could live-in-residence for 3-6months, and learn whatever aspect of sustainability they had an interest in. Covid hit and the classes continued with Balinese students. Covid lifted and Bali had suddenly shifted and we also shifted.
NOW . . . . Our focus is ‘the ancestors and the land’:
Our 3 main projects, currently are:
We continue to support Sustainable Living Education with Balinese volunteers, offering green-to-the-extreme-garden tours, plant medicine education, and off-the-grid-how-to, at Bali Silent Retreat, in Mongan Village, near Penatahan Village, Tabanan Regency.

- 3 Balinese from Penatahan
- 1 Balinese from Ubud
- 1 Indonesian from Ubud
- 1 Balinese from Denpasar
- 1 foreigner from Tabanan, as advisor

About our sponsors, which are many persons of generous heart, soul, mind, and funds. Especially the original inspiration for this Yayasan, who was insistent that the ‘How To’ of sustainability combined with Tri Hita Karana* be protected and the knowledge preserved.
Thank you, Jack.
