What we do

Ayrumã Ecovillage is a sustainable settlement of an intentional community of 42 members, designed to host our lives together and provide space for an experiential learning center. Its creation has taken place through a circular governance process that counts on the participation of all our members and countless collaborators in constant learning and transformation. In its formative process, a permacultural planning was carried out aiming at the environmental regeneration and conservation of a large part of the land, where the native forest is home to great biodiversit, preserving waters and native species of the Cerrado biome, one of the most biodiverse regions of the world.
To achieve our goals, we founded the Ayrumã Association, a non-profit civil society organization, based on three pillars that guide and inspire our actions: Biodiversity and Conservation; Education and Culture; and Sustainability and Permaculture. Formed by a diversity of members, it has professionals from various fields: biologists, architects, engineers, lawyers, economists, cultural producers, photographers, therapists, communicators, designers, artists, musicians, craftsmen, educators, permaculturists, bioconstructors, among others. This plurality of experiences and activities enables the execution of transdisciplinary projects and actions. Ayrumã carries out numerous activities focused on the valorization and rescue of socio-cultural traditions, environmental research and education, sustainability, and agroecology.
In order to strengthen a broad support network, Ayrumã has been articulating joint actions among community associations, schools and universities, third sector entities, and public administration. In recognition of this strong dialogue and communication capacity, Ayrumã was elected a member representing environmental entities in the Advisory Council of the Águas Vertentes EPA, the conservation unit where the ecovillage is located.

People Care PDC

We increasingly recognize the vital role of a healthy community in addition to raising awareness of the sustainable ecosystem. We recognize the importance of effective interpersonal relationships and also the relationship of the individual to him/herself . Usually the focus of the PDC is to strengthen the ecosystem. From there, the pattern is transferred to other systems such as the social, the monetary system, the educational system, etc. By designing the People Care PDC we have developed a workshop in which we put the development of sustainable social systems at the center. People Care PDC is devoted to the social demands of our time and offers practical impetus to dealing with interpersonal challenges both in the private and professional environment. These includes conflict resolution, decision-making processes, organic planning and development processes, etc. The course offers useful tools of permaculture design in theory and practice and connects them with adjacent systems and methods . The aim of the course is to prepare and qualify the participants for strengthening and developing their social environment in communities, relationships, work and project teams, schools, GARDENS from Dreams, etc. *** Course content: The course includes the basics of Permaculture: History of permaculture and its role in today’s society Permaculture ethics and principles Basic Permaculture design for ecosystems (permaculture and its connection to ecosystems) Development and implementation of concrete designs for an ecosystem (for example garden, compost, animals, water) Methods and practices for strengthening social systems: Preparing social design according to the permaculture design tools (zoning, resource analysis and flows) Developing a strategy and ethics for implementation Monitoring: analysis of results and preparation of the closure phase as well as the preparation for the start of a new cycle What does sustainability
