En este Taller nos introduciremos en la filosofía y técnica de Dragon Dreaming, de forma teórica, experiencial y también de forma práctica, aprendiendo sus fases y pasos. Para ello queremos ofreceros un taller activo, con diversas actividades y dinámicas. Dragon Dreaming DD ha sido co-creado por John Croft y su difunta esposa Vivienne Elanta (los cuales han colaborado con Joanna Macy). Esta técnica se basa en 3 principios: Servicio a la Tierra, Creación de Comunidad y Crecimiento Personal. Dragon Dreaming DD está inspirado en el activismo social y ambiental, la ecología profunda, la nueva ciencia moderna, la teoría de sistemas vivos, la teoría del caos, la no violencia y la sabiduría de los aborígenes australianos. Dragon Dreaming nos facilita el conectar con nuestra llamada, concretizar nuestros sueños y materializar los de forma física, haciendo de estos sueños una realidad. ¿En qué consiste un taller introductorio? Se explica la herramienta, basada en una rueda, con cuatro partes o dimensiones: El sueño, la planificación, la acción y la celebración. Se introducen herramientas transversales de facilitación de grupos, comunicación carismática y no violenta, acuerdos grupales, inteligencia colectiva… Se introducen herramientas dinámicas, participativas y vivenciales para poder: 1. Plasmar los sueños que tienes, tendiendo un puente entre ello y la acción 2. Compartirlos con la gente con la que quieres hacerlos, de una forma auténtica y desinteresada. 3. Crear un sueño colectivo a partir de un sueño personal, que integre la visión de grupo 4. Fijar una meta clara, objetivos y tareas, de forma participativa 5. Diseñar una estrategia, mediante el Kadabirrdt, de forma participativa 6. Crear un presupuesto, conectando con nuestra inteligencia colectiva. 7.

Deep Ecology & Mindful Gardening

Deepen our connection with nature through our head, heart, hands and spirit. 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

European Ecovillage Conference

The Global Ecovillage Network Europe (GEN Europe) announces the 21st edition of its summer conference, “Conscious Happiness: Living the Future Today- Solidarity, Resilience & Hope” July 16th-20th 2017 at the Swedish ecovillage Ӓngsbacka. This annual event, which draws hundreds of intentional communitarians and their supporters from across Europe each year, offers speakers, expositions, workshops and a place to meet, inspire and be inspired. In an era of uncertain ecological and political futures, Robert Hall, GEN Europe’s Council President, invites participants to “come and network with Europe’s grassroots change-makers. Join us to learn ways of increasing your happiness while being of greater service to humanity and the planet.” This year’s conference themes of Solidarity, Resilience and Hope will weave into conference workshops and activity tracks, gathered together by keynote speakers Charles Eisenstein and Helena Norberg-Hodge.

Prácticas de Comunicación Profunda

Por Mar y Víctor Fecha. Domingo 12 de abril de 2015 Horario: 11 a 14 y de 16 a 19 horas. Aportación: 20 euros o Moras (moneda social), para el taller, sala y sostenibilidad Opción de comida vegana: 10 euros o Moras (moneda social). Puedes traer tu comida. Lugar: Rincón de los Sueños. Calle Ecoaldea, 1. Valdepiélagos Contacta con nosotr@s: vi****************@***il.com +34 918 416 045 Sobre el taller: Reflexionaremos sobre campos grupales, roles y rangos, y herramientas prácticas para conectar contigo y con los demás desde lo más profundo de tu ser, mostrando tu vulnerabilidad valiente. Es una invitación a abandonarnos con confianza a la dimensión sensorial y afectiva, en un viaje a nuestro maravilloso mundo interior, inspirados en las teorías de Gandhi, Marshall Rosemberg y Pat Patfoort. Objetivos: * Análisis de los modelos de relación-comunicación que utilizamos habitualmente. * Introducción y prácticas de las técnicas de Comunicación Profunda Programa: “Ojo por ojo y todo el mundo acabará ciego”. Mahatma Gandhi La primera parte del taller consiste en tomar de conciencia personal sobre cuáles son nuestras formas habituales de relación comunicación. Según Path Patfoort, en las relaciones humanas existe un desequilibrio Mayor-menor que representa la base de la violencia, expresado a través de nuestras reacciones de defensa, evitación o ataque, desencadenadas ante otras personas, y que se manifiesta en tres modelos constantes de relación-comunicación. Identificar y analizar estos modelos nos ayuda a constatar cómo nuestra fuerza vital se pervierte en violencia, visible o invisible, consciente o inconsciente. A partir de esta toma de conciencia podemos ir operando una transformación en nuestra manera de comunicarnos, de violenta a profunda y empática, en lo que la antropóloga Path Pathfoort define como la Equivalencia. “Sin aceptación y respeto por sí mismo uno no puede aceptar y respetar al otro, y sin aceptar al otro como un legítimo ot

Construcción con Paja y Tierra

¿QUÉ Y PARA QUIÉN? Descripción Curso: Este curso está pensado para personas que no tienen gran experiencia con la construcción con paja, y tienen interés en construir con un sistema de “relleno”; es decir, que se hace un ESTRUCTURA que carga con el peso del tejado, y se rellena con paja para el cerramiento y aislamiento del edificio. En la práctica, aprenderemos todo lo básico sobre construcción con Paja revoques de tierra arcillosa: elegir, medir y manipular balas como rellenar varios tipos de estructura de madera compresión de las balas dentro de la estructura preparar las balas y estructura para revocar hacer revoques a base de tierra natural (no comprado) aplicar capas de imprimación y cuerpo de tierra arcillosa Ya que no da tiempo para más en la práctica, cubriremos de forma teórica: planificación de la obra cimientos y sobre-cimientos otras opciones de estructuras (ladrillos, hierro, etc.) tejados y instalaciones protección de los revoques de tierra frente al agua. ADVERTENCIA: no enseñaré (mucho) de carpintería durante el curso, ni enseñaré como hacer una Estructura de Madera ni como Calcularlo. En cambio, enseñaré diferentes opciones de estructura (no solo una), ya que cada sistema constructiva requiere una solución diferente. Así comprenderás mejor como se trabaja con PAJA y las ventajas/desventajas de diferentes sistemas constructivas. Ser carpintero de armar en un oficio que respeto demasiado para pretender enseñarlo (además de Paja y Barro) durante un curso tan corto. A QUIEN VA DIRIGIDO EL CURSO: a Personas que quieren ser auto-constructores a Técnicos (arquitectos, aparejadores) que quieren trabajar con Paja o auto-constructores a Constructores Profesionales q
