Ngalung Kalla: Commitment to Sustainable Living

Nestled in the heart of Sumba, Ngalung Kalla is more than just an eco-retreat or surf resort – it’s a pioneering vision for sustainable living – blending a holistic approach to environmental stewardship with permaculture principles and renewable energy solutions. As a certified permaculture designer, Christian hosts workshops and retreats at Ngalung Kalla, sharing his expertise on regenerative living, sustainable agriculture, and eco-friendly practices. The permaculture retreats offer a comprehensive guide to sustainable living, empowering individuals to create positive change in their own communities.

To support his vision, Christian engaged Solar Power Indonesia to design and install a standalone power system, ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply.
