Taman Petanu is a consciously evolving model community that embraces diversity and radiates harmony, respect, innovation, abundance and joy.
The Taman Petanu Eco Neighborhood is a beautiful property just 15 minutes south of Ubud, see the neighborhood’s location.
The Taman Petanu Eco Neighborhood is based on a deep commitment to enhance Bali’s environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability. It is being created to demonstrate a model for sustainable living and community empowerment that upholds the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which balances our harmony with man, nature, and God or Universal Energy.
The neighborhood includes 20 self contained private plots, supported by a range of common facilities including: waste and wastewater treatment, Permaculture landscaping, pool, playground, barbecue area, amphitheater and pavilion for workshops and events.
<The members of the Taman Petanu Eco Neighborhood are committed to the principles of sustainability and regeneration. For us, sustainability is achieved through an integrated, holistic approach, which is outlined in the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. Tri Hita Karana describes how we develop based on three direct relationships: our relationship with the environment, our relationship with other beings, and our relationship with God or Universal Energy.
