  Description

  My husband and I are currently building an alternative space for sharing positive energy, delving into ourselves, unraveling various life problems & complexities, and optimizing human potential. This space serves as a meeting point for free-spirited individuals with diverse uniqueness, backgrounds, ideologies, and professions, aiming to find common ground for synergy and collaboration. Our mission is to contribute to building a civilization and ecosystem more in harmony with the universe.
  
  How is that possible? by help each individual become the best version of themselves.
  
  Guided by our motto: "Think, Improve, Act, Change", our primary focus areas include education, the arts, and cultural preservation. As a significant step toward creating change, we are in the process of establishing a free alternative school where children can gain valuable knowledge, skills, and insights which not typically taught in formal education.
  
  Our regular activities include: spiritual meditation classes, alternatives education classes and also arts & cultural activities.
  Through the arts, we strive to preserve ancestral culture and local wisdom. We move from village to village to build local people awareness about self-discovery and ancestral culture that is being eroded by modernity.
  
  We also have a big dream of building our own village, a community based eco village, where we have our own system that aligned with the principle of sustainable living and in harmony in nature.
  
  Our place is located in Salatiga, Central Java. It is a peaceful village, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, with a lush, comfortable, and tranquil environment, characteristic of traditional rural life. Surrounded by green views of rice fields and farms, there are also several refreshing natural springs.
  
  How can you help :
  
  1. Direct Involvement in Regular Activities
  Assist us in conducting our weekly classes, including: spiritual meditation, alternatives education classes, and arts & culture activities. Your contribution can range from facilitating discussions and teaching specific skills to helping manage logistics.
  
  2. Fundraising and Resource Development
  Achieving our dreams requires more than just passion; it demands financial resilience and resource stability. Your contribution to fundraising is not merely about collecting money, but about attracting social investment from individuals and organizations aligned with our mission of sustainability. This endeavor is about transforming collective goodwill into real operational capacity that can guarantee the continuity of our educational programs, cultural preservation efforts, and the development of sustainable infrastructure (the eco-village). By building a strong financial support system, we can minimize vulnerability to external economic fluctuations, thereby ensuring that our service to the community remains uninterrupted.
  
  3. Preparation and Execution of the Annual Event
  Actively participate in organizing our annual capstone event. This involves: large-scale art projects, DIY & building (e.g., constructing simple structures with natural materials), and event logistics.
  
  4. Cultural Preservation and Global Promotion
  Aid us in our efforts to preserve ancestral culture and local wisdom threatened by modernity. This includes documenting cultural practices, creating digital content (videos, writings), and introducing our cultural richness to people around the world through exhibitions or online platforms.
  
  5. Global Outreach and Storytelling
  The tangible actions we take in the villages need to be shared effectively. We need help with communication strategies, social media management, and creating compelling content to spread our positive narrative, attract volunteers, and build a supportive global network.
  
  6. Building the Support System Infrastructure
  Help us design and establish an efficient organizational structure, legal framework, and operational systems. This includes developing a blueprint for the eco-village, a model school curriculum, or a volunteer administration system, all aimed at achieving our noble goals in an effective and sustainable manner.
