What we do

We wish to live, learn together & evolve into better human beings. We will do this by building connections and a deep sense of belonging within the broadening heart of our community & Mother Nature.
From this dream, we gave birth to the project AWE that holds space to embrace and emerge more moments of awe in life – when we feel amazed and overwhelmed by either physical or psychological things that bring deep learning and transformation.
We are starting to manifest this in a space called Noong Awe Garden in the Northwest of Vietnam, which is also to honor its old name in local Thai language as Noong Ă“ (pond of elephant grass).
Mission & Practice
Our intention is to co-create a community space for deepening our personal connection with ourselves, other humans, nature & the great mystery of this life. Our intention is to cultivate a space where we can learn, experiment and sustain a simple, resilient, responsible and eco lifestyle which aims to be in harmony with local people and the environment.
To cultivate spaciousness for personal growth and collective evolution in order to learn, relax, and to connect physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually with ourselves and each other, we consciously design our lives and activities to serve the well-being of the community and the regeneration of the Earth.

  • Mind-practices: learn and experiment simple, mindfulness living; learn from local knowledge and learn from nature.
  • Body-practices: learn to grow, build, cook, and make craft in diversity with adaptation of local & traditional practices; share holistic practice of meditation, body work and arts.
  • Soul-practices: space for self-improvement & connections with compassionate communication, fair decision making, transparency, as well as arts, rituals and celebrations.

Values
Gratitude – (Inner) Growth – Love – Transparency – Harmony – Learning – Nurturing – Compassion – Diversity – Creativity – Beauty – Minimalism – Discipline – Collaboration

EDE France 2021 | Écovillage Sainte Camelle

We had to wait 2021, against all odds, to see the very first French EDE. How come it was only the 1st? Why never before? Well, we know why. FHF. This is why making an EDE in France was a tough challenge to take on. And yes, we did it! The group of participants we had for this EDE was so diverse that no clan emerged. It is quite usual that people gather by affinity in small groups but here, the entire group stuck together no matter what. The glue was really strong. Some personalities were more extraverted of course, but with a real care for other’s presence and voice. To the extent to become a real counter-power: if we made any facilitation mistake, if we failed to propose in the most careful way and if it felt like we were imposing anything, we would be immediately in trouble. We knew it came from a childhood school trauma for these people, who were very open about it. It was an amazing journey to navigate the facilitation process with such awareness. This context led to something incredible during week two: a very quiet voice, Pauline, protested against the fact that they had agreed to community agreements on the first day but now, she said, they had to review them by themselves and check if it reflects who they really are. We, as EDE crew members, opened a space in the program for them to take the time to do it. They used Sociometry, a tool taught to them before, to assess the agreements. They counted in percentage who agreed or not for each topic. They even discussed about the structure of the program and finally approved it. It was a very beautiful real-life example of self-empowerment. One of the most iconic moment of this EDE was the Derdian roleplay in which they completely immersed themselves for three hours. The participants playing the indigenous Derdians went in the forest and created another set of social rules to add to the existing 10 social rules, making it even harder for the engineers to understand them.

Curso de Permacultura

Curso Certificado de Diseño en Permacultura Del 8 al 26 de julio El Curso Certificado de Diseño en Permacultura de Can Bordoi, con 108 horas de teorĂ­a y práctica en casi tres semanas, es uno de los cursos más extensos que se imparten en la penĂ­nsula – un aprendizaje de calidad, para descubrir, profundizar, experimentar y palpar la Permacultura con plenitud. La Permacultura, con su enfoque holĂ­stico, nos permite concebir y crear espacios sostenibles, productivos, bonitos, Ăştiles y eficientes. La Permacultura es el diseño consciente de hábitats humanos productivos que tienen la diversidad, la estabilidad y la adaptabilidad de los ecosistemas naturales. Consiste en la integraciĂłn armoniosa del paisaje y las personas, para proveer sus alimentos, su energĂ­a, su cobijo y otras necesidades materiales y no materiales de una manera sostenible. (Bill Mollison, co-creador del concepto de Permacultura) La Permacultura es allĂ­ donde un campo yermo se transforma en un bosque comestible, un huerto en una sinfonĂ­a de biodiversidad, una caja se convierte en horno solar, una ruina en una bioconstrucciĂłn de formas gráciles, una escala de vecinos en una comunidad intencional… Ven a aprender cĂłmo diseñarlo y cĂłmo hacerlo realidad en tu entorno. Durante los 17 dĂ­as de curso aprenderemos los principios de la Permacultura, sus aplicaciones concretas, veremos cĂłmo plantear el diseño y cĂłmo desarrollarlo, tendremos tiempo para practicar en el huerto, para conocer varios proyectos de la comarca y aprender de los que ya tienen experiencia. Todo esto en el entorno privilegiado de Can Bordoi, una finca en plena naturaleza, con jardines y bosques, donde respirar, sentarse un rato, conversar, donde compartir mĂşsica, y perfecta para liberar nuestra imaginaciĂłn con un diseño permacultural. El curso se desarrollará en Llinars del Vallès, en una comarca donde proliferan las iniciativas y los proyectos, a apenas 45 minutos de Barcelona. ApĂşntate al CDP de Can Bordoi a p
