Queremos ofrecer un Curso en el que aprender, experimentar y profundizar en algunos aspectos de la Bioconstrucción, de manera profesional, familiar y cercana al mismo tiempo. En el curso Fuego y Barro trabajaremos elementos como: Estufas de masa térmica, hornos de leña, estufas rocket, adobe,….. Aprendiendo a construir con materiales sanos y naturales, adaptados a nuestro hogar y necesidades; para obtener una mayor eficiencia, salud y calidez en nuestro hogar y cuidar en medio ambiente al mismo tiempo. Horno de leña tradicional u horno moruno. Aprenderemos sobre su funcionamiento, materiales y herramientas; y construiremos un horno de principio a fín: base, suelo, aislante, molde, cúpula, revoco, puerta y encendido. Obtendremos los materiales de nuestro entorno (barro del río), aprenderemos a hacer adobe – cob para: modelado directo, ladrillos…. Estufas de masa térmica. Incluye kacheloven – estufas rusas – estufas de mamposteria y estufas rocket. Las estufas de masa térmica son altamente eficientes a la hora de convertir el valor calorífico de la madera en calor, consiguiendo una eficiencia que puede alcanzar alrededor de 90% comparado con un 20% de las chimeneas de fuego abierto. Estas funcionan por una combustión rápida de la leña, produciendo calor que se acumula en la masa térmica y que va siendo irradiado al ambiente poco a poco durante más de 10 horas; proporcionando así un calor mucho más agradable que el que producen las estufas convencionales. Durante este módulo aprenderemos sobre: – los principios de funcionamiento de las estufas de masa térmica y rockets, – la masa térmica – los diferentes componentes del sistema: cámara de combustión, laberinto, chimenea – adaptación de una estufa convencional de hierro en una estufa de masa térmica – principios de encendido y combustión – limpieza y mantenimiento. Practicaremos construyendo un modelo a escala real, aprendiendo las habilidades básicas de construcción para poder aplicarlas a la c

We need to investigate our individual and collective creative potential in search of innovative solutions that dreams copiously provide. The workshop will be practical and experience-based and is aimed both at people who have an interest in better understanding their dreams, as well as those who seek to get to know themselves better and enhance their processes of change.

In these troubling times, when our global leaders are failing to grapple with the immense threats to our climate, our environment, and our well-being, how do we find our personal power and confidence to step up into new realms and play on a larger stage? We can draw nourishment from nature and community. In this workshop, we’ll use ritual, meditation, guided journeys, dance and song to connect with the deep wellsprings of inspiration that the earth offers us. We will explore the internal and social barriers that keep us from stepping into our full power. And we’ll work with tools and insights that can help us become more effective co-creators of the new world we must bring to birth. This retreat will provide the opportunity to re-root your spirit, politics, and day-to-day life in a deeper relationship with the Earth.
