What we do

The Tribe of Füssen/Likatien
The Tribe Füssen Eins is also known as Tribe of Likatien. Likatien means “residents at lik”, wich retrogrades to the last ancient celtic tribe, living at the river Lech.
One of our central visions is to become a tribe – in a modern meaning. For us that means a special quality of admitting with each other and close to our emotional and spiritual reality.
In the way people get involved with the the tribe and eachother the tribe becomes sustainable. In the inner circle the people swear to say here for the whole life. That founds the base for the tribe and for following generations.
We want to develop a cultur of love and trust as a sign for menkind`s original destiny. A culture wich includes the conciousness of a balance in relationships – between people and nature but also between eachother. So communication is very important for us in the dirctest and clearest way wich is possible.
In the city of Füssen we own ca. 20 houses, where we live and work.
We want to develop the possibility for all our members to work in our own companies. We have an esoteric book-shop, a bio-shop, a computer-shop, a company wich organizes esoteric-fairs, internet shops, lawyers,
a healerschool with holistic doctors and there is a group of people making agriculture for the tribe, trying to develop a permaculture. We’re just at the beginning of this development, because we’re in the need of more dedicated people.
Our tribe is structured like a mandala with different circles expressing the degree of identifying with the tribe. Our community-decisions we make consensual.
People in the inner circle meet every evening for diskussing problems and working together.
Every week there are single meetings of women, men and youths, where we diskuss interpersonal, cultural, social, spiritual and many other subjects.
And there are also many festivities. The tribe loves good party spirit, because enthusiastic lively party elation creates a feeling of paradise. And that’s a target the tribe aspires to: to create a possibility for Paradise on earth.

Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops.

Deep Ecology and Mindful Gardening

Deepen our connection with nature through our head, heart, hands and spirit. Join us for this two weeks contemplative learning where we will learn together What is Deep Ecology as a philosophy, as a way to see and interpret life, as an approach to deepen our connection with nature and as a way of living. This two weeks program is designed to have balance of the learning through different channel of our being: Head: Theoretical learning, critical thinking, debate, discussion, deep reflection & deep questioning. The learning through the head help us to understand deeply of what is happening around us and in the world. Understanding and deeply questioning the reality presented to us is a way to liberate ourselves from it. Heart: listening to what we are feeling when we engage ourselves in nature and her stories. Allowing the heart to feel the love, joy, compassion or the feeling of sadness & fear allowing ourselves to feel the pain ourselves, the world & Mother Earth. We will use the activities of The Work That Reconnect of Joanna Macy and other practices to help our heart to learn deeply. We need the learning through our heart to bring about transformation at a deep level. Hand: Mindfully working with nature in the garden. When we are mindful we love, respect and connect as we are physically engaged. Practical work help us to ground our believes, philosophy and vision. It empowers us and assures us that the new reality we wish for is possible. It makes what’s in our head and heart become real and tangible. Spirit : Spirituality, Meaning & purpose. Learning at this level is about being conscious of our values and purpose, seeing ourselves as part of a greater universe and realizing our connection, relationship and responsibility in that picture. a learning at this level helps us to stay connected with our core and bring meaning to life.
