What we do

Hacienda Agroecológica Renacer consta de alrededor 30 cuerdas de terreno ubicado en un hermoso pulmón Carolina área noreste de Puerto Rico, cerca del Yunque reserva de bosque forestal y se ha convertido en un importante centro de educación y desarrollo comunitario. Comenzamos hace seis años en un bosque secundario dedicado con anterioridad al pastoreo de ganado. Inicialmente entramos con la intención de construir nuestro hogar, pero luego fuimos descubriendo unos elementos de armonía con la naturaleza que decidimos compartir con todos.
La instalación educativa de Hacienda Agroecológica Renacer actúa como una estación de investigación local para estrategias y técnicas en agroecología y permacultura integrando elementos socioculturales en conjunto con las comunidades adyacentes. Nuestro objetivo principal es educar a las comunidades sobre elementos esenciales para lograr una agricultura sustentable tanto para el ambiente como para nosotros y de esta manera aportar a nuestra soberanía alimentaria. Deseamos lograr reintegrar la dependencia alimentaria local mediante la creación de fuentes de dieta nutricionalmente equilibrada, que se cultivan o se crían localmente sin agroquímicos, utilizando técnicas ecológicas y con la menor cantidad de esfuerzo ya que se diseña de manera que balancea el medio ambiente con el trabajo realizado.
Nuestra infraestructura incluye: edificios naturales mayormente construidos con materiales locales, área para proveer talleres educativos, cocina comunal, sistemas de energía renovable, métodos de captación de agua, huertos ecológicos, viveros, fabrica de alimentos ecológica para elaboradores y productores locales, banco de semillas, plantas medicinales, frutales, arboles nativos, bosque de madera y bosque de alimentos.

Preserve the Serra de Carnaxide

This event will be supported by the meeting of a group of collectives of citizens, who are promoting the preservation of a mountain range. Then, we will have a popular dinner and we will see one of the interviews that will broadcast between February 1st and 6th. Description of the civic movement Serra de Carnaxide, with 600 hectares, is one of the few green spots in the metropolitan area of ​​Lisbon that can contribute to the improvement of air quality and public health, promoting adaptation to climate change. There are currently urbanization projects that threaten the Serra de Carnaxide, some of which are ongoing and others are in the planning or project phase. Its implementation would destroy the Serra, causing significant impacts in the short, medium and long term, both for the populations and for the environment, which includes interesting dimensions in terms of soil, water, flora and fauna, in addition to classified architectural heritage. The preservation of the Serra will promote the sustainability of the water environment (rivers and groundwater) and the associated ecosystems. The richness in groundwater is evidenced by its past use, materialized in the architectural heritage constituted by the Carnaxide aqueduct and the Francesas aqueduct (both subsidiaries of the Águas Livres aqueduct) and its skylights, circular structures and mother-of-water . Current scientific knowledge, sustained governance practices, as well as agreements and treaties to which Portugal is committed, including the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (imposing targets to be reached by 2020), impose the urgent need for a new management of the territory of Serra of Carnaxide. It is possible to find innovative solutions for an integrated and sustainable management of the natural and architectural heritage of the Serra de Carnaxide, recognizing and taking advantage of its immense environmental and socio-economic value, in addition to tourism

Join us at Gaia Ashram in the North-East of Thailand 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. The course will run through what we call “the wave of energy” where
