What we do

Ecoliving Paradeisi is a cohousing / ecovillage forming near the lively town Neapoli Voion at the Southern edge of the European continent. Two small wooden modular houses with compost toilets have been built as the first of 14 residential houses + a common house and five guest houses, which are the scope of the project. On the wide hills above the small port town of Neapoli, 3 kilometers away, there is a fantastically located 1.2 hectare building plot with magnificent sea views and magical sunsets. The ECOLIVING PARADEISI is being built there, named after the sparsely populated Paradeisi region. The easy-to-build area is divided into plots, which will be designed with modular wooden houses, preferably Tiny houses, with sustainable materials like clay, hemp and other ecological materials.
Of course we use alternative energy concepts.

Our Vision

We take responsibility and care for ourselves and our environment. It’s time we implement our visions for new living spaces and not just talk about them! With the Ecoliving Paradeisi project we would like to make a contribution to this in hope that the right people will come together to make this dream come true.

3er Encuentro de Mujeres

La Ecoaldea Anthakaran, desea compartir contigo el III encuentro de mujer, montaña y luna. 16, 17 y 18 de Agosto 2014. Juntas, conjuraremos el estar vivas. Tejeremos la hermandad floreciendo desde nuestro esplendor y gracia. Hasta los pájaros vociferarán los secretos de amantes taciturnos que se tatuaron en los recĂłnditos del alma. El patriarcado nos ha dado las coordenadas en las que se nos permite movernos en nuestra sexualidad. Sabemos quĂ© se espera de nosotras: se espera que seamos objeto, no sujeto; se espera que seamos pasivas, no activas, se espera fĂ­sico; las emociones y sensaciones y las ideas tiene como efecto una vida sexual más gozosa y consciente. El hecho de vivir en una sociedad y cultura patriarcales tiene efectos en todas las áreas de nuestra existencia: fĂ­sicas, emocionales y mentales. En este taller vamos a trabajar dinámicas corporales especialmente diseñadas para revertir dichos efectos. Uno de los centros vitales para la toma de conciencia del poder que toda mujer porta en su interior es el Ăştero. Conectar con Ă©l y liberarlo de las ataduras, nos permite vivir centradas y desplegar nuestro potencial. Beneficios: – Mejora el placer sexual. – Partos más fáciles y cortos. – Menstruaciones sin dolor. – Mayor seguridad personal. – Aumentar la creatividad y la vitalidad… ÂżDĂłnde esta mi alegrĂ­a? ÂżA quĂ© se parece? ÂżAcaso me he perdido en el bosque y ya no puedo observar el mundo multicolor de duendes y hadas que antes se deslizaba en mĂ­ con un movimiento de cascada? Algunas veces nuestro cuerpo y sentir parece dormitar, queremos invitarte a un nuevo despertar a conversar con los secretos, en el fondo de nuestro ser hay un jardĂ­n sediento de mirada y nuevos amaneceres. Algunas de las actividades que tendremos para despertarnos son: + Qi Gong de la mujer. + Temazcal de mujeres. + BendiciĂłn de Ăştero. + Ceremonia de las diosas. + Taller: CĂłmo llegarnos a honrar. + CĂ­rculos de Palabra. + Reordenamiento de nuestra energĂ­a
