A short story about us
Kaluma was born from the question: What if creativity could also preserve who we are? We exist at the intersection of self-discovery, community, heritage, and legacy — guiding people from hidden potential to living expression.
Our Story:
Our Pillars
Becoming — The journey of self-unfolding.
The Hive — The circle of belonging.
Living Memory — Wisdom as nectar.
Living Legacy — Creativity in continuity.
About
Uma Tyasning Paramita
Hello, I’m Uma Tyasning Paramita, the founder of Kaluma.
Kaluma grew from a simple belief: every person has a story worth telling, and within that story is the power to create, connect, and inspire. For more than 25 years, I’ve worked as a creative director, educator, and storyteller, walking alongside individuals, women, and communities as they rediscover their voices and embrace their creativity.
To me, creativity is not only about making something new. It is a way of remembering who we are, honoring the wisdom of those before us, and shaping a legacy for the future. Through Kaluma, I’ve created a space where art, education, and cultural preservation come together—a garden where expression, community, and heritage grow side by side.
Here, you’ll find circles that nurture women’s voices, programs that empower neurodivergent creatives, collaborations with maestros, and everyday products that carry the spirit of creativity and tradition.
I invite you to step into Kaluma’s garden, to explore, to grow, and to share your story with us.
With warmth,
Uma
Founder & Creative Director of Kaluma
"A Living Garden of Creativity & Culture”
