On episode 4, we are honored to welcome Ibu Sari, the founder of PKP Community Center — an NGO dedicated to empowering Balinese villages, providing a safe space and thriving home to champion emotional and financial support for vulnerable women and their families. Driven by a mission to build women by building the entire community, PKP runs diverse programming and social enterprises to lift up marginalized Balinese members of society.A staggering statistic indicates that 80% of divorced women in PKP Community Center left marriages that inflicted financial struggle, mental and physical abuse. 20% of the divorced women suffered other causes.In this conversation, we explore Ibu Sari’s experience of being separated from her daughter for 12 years following an incredibly traumatic divorce. This is the story for most (if not all) women in Bali. It is very difficult for women to be accepted back into their communities and rebuild a life afterwards, which was the driving catalyst for her life’s work.Other topics we explore in this deeply moving talk:• How her traumatic experience inspired her to start PKP Community Center• Why most Balinese are not equipped with the tools to enter a healthy, happy and sustainable marriage• How to reconcile the traditional Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana (harmony with self, community &amp; planet) with the painful inequality resulting from divorce culture• Her philosophy of “head” versus “neck” in looking at the role women play in relationship to men• The significance of “LAF” (Look, Ask &amp; Feel) and how this tool empowers women to grow into their highest potential and leadership in the community• The program(s) within PKP that support the greatest breakthroughs for those seeking a better life and future forward• How she believes Balinese culture will need to shift to support divorced women who have taken the courageous step of claiming their independence and happiness• The sage wisdom she would give to her 20-year old self now• What she is most grateful to Bali for during these COVID times

Ibu Sari: A Founder's Journey from Stigmatized Divorce to Empowerment

Balinese philanthropist and teacher Ibu Sari shares with us her harrowing yet incredibly inspiring story. It is a story that begins with a childhood tinged with oppression, exile, and depression, but transforms beautifully into a tale of unbelievable strength and strong will. Ibu Sari is a woman who chose not to remain hindered by her intense personal hardships. Instead, through founding the Kim Women's Center - a safe haven for ostracized Balinese women - she uses them as vehicles that enable women to shake their burdens and rediscover the strength and independence that was so unfairly stripped from them.

Pain into Purpose - Ibu Sari in BALI

When we’re confronted by an impossible situation, one that pulls us out of ourselves, we can enter into a place of anger, fear and pain. Turning the negative towards more positive energy could be the best path to follow. Welcome to Lean In. A podcast that explores ordinary people’s extraordinary lives through honest storytelling. My guests share with me their journey of discovery, laughter, personal experiences and healing.If you are going through a change or challenging period in life, Lean In is the space where we can surrender to the cycle together.In this episode of Lean In, you can find me sitting in the middle of the jungle, singing to the monkeys with Ibu Sari, one of the most inspirational women I’ve ever met. Ibu is the founder of the PKP Women’s Center in Sari Pollen, Bali. It’s a safe haven for the many divorced women in Bali to come, share their stories within this loving community while developing their business skills, and engage in further education. Ibu has also gone on to become the director of Sari Hati School, which is a school for mentally and physically disabled children. Ibu’s story is not an easy one to hear, and like me, you may need a few tissues to get you through. Today she opens herself up fully; allowing me to share in her deeply emotional journey. She recounts her struggle with divorce, isolation, rejection and suicide while lifting the veil on the realities for many Balinese women growing up within a patriarchal society.  It’s a beautiful, powerful and transformative story, and we can learn so much from her quest for survival as she emerges from pain to positivity.Also featured in this episode:Ibu’s story – The beginnings of something bigThe shadow of suicide and how Ibu found the lightUsing dreams as a sign of what was to comePraying for a miracle – The power of prayerReading and using the signsKilling yourself softly – contending with griefGiving up the things that are most preciousChanging direction – How Ibu focused on those who needed help the mostHow children brought Ibu pure happinessNothing is coincidence in this life – the reunion of mother and daughterSitting in your beautificationLink:PKP Women’s Centre – Ibu SariKIM Women’s Online shopThe post Lean In 07: Surviving: Ibu Sari on Turning Pain Into Positivity appeared first on Natural Instinct Healing.
