Gambia – a box expanding journey

About the event

In our western civilised world we are educated to remain nestled within our comfort zones. We sacrifice an enormous part of our aliveness on the altar of so-called security. Because of this we don’t have access to the unlimited possibilities life offers us in every moment. Drilled and domesticated from childhood on, we have yet to experience our inherent power and potential. Gambia – A box expanding journey could be a personal step for you to make a radical change.

Are you ready to embark on a challenging adventure? Do you want to know, what you truly need to be alive, creative and connected to yourself and the world? Would you like to discover, who you really could be, beyond your habits and routines? You may find more possibilities than you ever imagined at the edges of your comfort zone.

By joining this journey, you embark consciously and in full self-responsibility to the edge of your well-
known and comfortable

world. You will discover a new self in a foreign environment, supported by a group of like-minded people. Due to the mixture of training and experiences taking place within a foreign culture, you have the opportunity to go through a deep transformation process, in a consciously and safely held space. We use the powerful and practical tools of Possibility Management with the intention to provide in every moment what is needed for every single participant as well as for the group as a whole to make the next evolutionary step.

The purpose …

On this journey we provide a consciously held space where many different possibilities arise. It is an

invitation ..

– for personal inner growth and transformation for every single participant no matter from which cultural context they come from

– to meet the locals and to discover their culture

– for an intensive exchange between cultures

– to learn or to intensify the application o

Cosecha de Cafe

El periodo de cosecha se ha fraccionado bastante, por lo que se pudo observar plantas con frutos ya maduros – verdes y floreciendo al mismo tiempo. Generalmente se prefiere que la floración se concentre, así la cosecha también se concentrara… A la fecha hemos realizado 4 recogidas y pienso faltaran 2 para completar el proceso. Se ha establecido que la floración del café es inducida por estrés hídrico alternado por un periodo lluvioso… La floración en el 2015 fue tan errática como el clima. Manejo de la Cosecha La calidad del café está muy relacionada con el manejo al momento de cosecharlo Esta es la primera cosecha que manejamos en la Aldea y ha permitido identificar como podremos ir mejorando la calidad: 1. Se identificaron áreas con muchas plantas enfermas de fumagina que necesitan un manejo de la sombra o necesitan ser reanimadas con poda. 2. Hay que enfatizar en cosechar solo granos maduros (separar los verdes). 3. Despulpar inmediatamente después de la cosecha. 4. Mejorar las condiciones de lavado 5. En la actualidad multiplicamos microorganismos eficientes locales para aplicarlos en forma de té al suelo y a las plantas. 6. Se comienza a Identificar la vegetación (no agresiva) la que coopera con el establecimiento del colchón, debajo de la sombra. 7. Siembra de guineos en las áreas muy soleadas. En las próximas semanas tendremos a la venta parte del café cosechado, deseando que lo disfruten. Esperando que en el 2016 llueva mucho más café en la Ecoaldea, si es que el clima lo permite.
