Sobre nosotros
2013 we have founded a non-profit organization, the Living Gaia e.V. In early 2014 it was recognized as a charitable organization and registered as such. This allows us to collect donations for Living Gaia, as well as for our cooperation project with the Huni Kuin - Lago Lindo -.
We are creating Living Gaia, a Holistic Healing Biotope, a seminar and retreat center in Alto Paraiso in Brazil. Our focus is the relatioship between humans and the natural world. We want to contribute to understand this connection on a deeper level and create new ways of living in harmony.
The Vision
Love the Earth | Love yourself | Love each other
It is our vision to build a seminar and training center for personal development, peace culture, cooperation competences, community building, permaculture, and water retention landscapes.
• We want to provide a direct experience of an alternative to the way our world is dealing with the daily life challenges. Therefore we need to create spaces where alternative ways get a chance. Sustainable technologies, new ways of living together and more open ways to communicate need to be established. In most parts of our lives we are still extremely influenced by traditions and habits. It is time to explore new ways with fantasy, love and confidence. On the long run we also want to establish a socially and ecologically sustainable, open community.
• We envision creating edible cultivated landscapes called Agrofloresta, a water retention landscape that shows how the water cycle on Earth can be healed. There will be opportunities for recreation and personal development in various forms. The land offers a direct experience of the possibilities of the Earth as a living being – inspiration through self-development, dance, music, art and rituals, contact to the elements, minerals, to plants and animals.
• We plan individual dwellings for visitors and guests, so that people can live there, educate themselves, spend time there, collaborate and shape.
This vision is inspired by visits and contact with people from Tamera, Portugal and the Zentrum für experimenttelle Lebensgestaltung (ZEGG) in Belzig south of Berlin. In Tamera the Healing Biotope I emerged and large parts of the vision have been already established there. We need more places in the world that offer a direct experience of this connected approach to life.
Projects:
Cooperation with the Huni Kuin, indigenous people living in Jordao, in the state of Acre in Brazil.
• We plan to establish a regular intensive exchange with the Huni Kuin on Living Gaia. The first exchange camp took place in July 2016, the second in July 2017. The next Encontro camp will take place from July 20-28, 2019. For further information about the program of the Encontro click here.
• We collect donations for the project "Land purchase in the Amazon". Due to the current events in Brazil, indigenous people and the Amazon - the lungs of the earth - are threatened. We are looking for financial support so that the we can buy land in Jordao and thus secure its endangered habitat.
• We support Batani Huni Kuin in acquiring a house for herself and her children in Jordao to establish a women's union.
