Foundational Permaculture Course & Retreat: Garden, Gather & Grow

Krisna Putra Waworuntu is a dedicated advocate for sustainable farming and permaculture. Growing up in a family immersed in a farming environment, Krisna developed a deep appreciation for the natural world and a passion for regenerative agriculture. Since 2012, he has been actively involved in his father's permaculture farming system at Bumi Langit, Yogyakarta. Driven to deepen his knowledge and understanding of permaculture, Krisna embarked on a transformative journey. In 2012, he attended a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) led by Robyn Francis, immersing himself in the principles and techniques of sustainable farming. Seeking to expand his horizons further, he ventured to the Dead Sea valley in the Jordanian desert in 2015 to participate in an internship program for the greening the desert project by Geoff Lawton. Krisna's diverse experiences have shaped his expertise in permaculture and enabled him to make tangible contributions to the field. He initiated Permablitz activities in Yogyakarta and Bali, fostering community engagement and collaboration in implementing sustainable farming practices. At Bumi Langit Farm, he played a vital role in making improvements and advancing the permaculture system. Recognized as an accomplished educator, Krisna has had the privilege of teaching the International Permaculture Design Course alongside Australian instructor and permaculture practitioner, John Champagne. He has shared his knowledge and expertise with locals across Indonesia, guiding them in the integration of sustainable farming practices such as permaculture, syntropic farming, and biodynamics. Krisna's approach is rooted in honoring the diverse tropical culture and local wisdom, emphasizing the importance of harmonizing traditional practices with innovative techniques. Krisna will be accompanied by a group of teachers who are behind the creation of leading permacultures projects in Indonesia.
