What we do

Ahimsagram trusts in the infinite power of all humans and wants it to be expressed fully as we create sustainable and regenerative businesses, with self-management practices and healthy interpersonal connections. Ahimsagram was founded by Shammi Nanda, who imagines a world of individual empowerment with collective abundance and wanted to bring together people who had a similar search to build a collaborative organisation. The place is also a community of sorts where people share their work and lives while they work for a shared purpose.
Ahimsagram is inspired by principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Self Management, Holacracy, and sustainable living practices! We work with Holacracy as a Governance method, and as we also hold NVC dear to us, we try our best to look for solutions where everyone’s needs are seen of matter and have a space to be heard.
We are offering healthy and sustainable food through our cafe, cloud kitchen, and online shop.
We also practice and offer various programs on integral living with sustainable food practices, self-management, compassionate communications, family constellations, and other life-enriching processes.
Different from most organizations in the world, our team works on self-management principles where everyone in the team takes responsibility for their role(s) while enjoying autonomy and freedom. Team members are allowed to say no, encouraged to make mistakes, and appreciated for their creative ideas.

Autumn PDC 2017 Greece, Tinos Island

Autumn 2017 Permaculture Design Course 23 September – 5 October (12 days, 80 hours certificate) Led by Andrew Jordan and Elena Symeonidou We are excited to announce the second FULL PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE (PDC) that will be hosted in Tinos Eco-lodge with two knowledgeable teachers Andrew Jordan from Ireland and Elena Symeonidou from Greece. The Permaculture Design Certificate The Permaculture Design Certificate is an 80 hour theoretical course based on Bill Mollison’s Designers Manual, teaching how we can use today’s tools and technology to create a more sustainable world. Permaculture is not only about growing vegetables and animals, it is a whole sustainable lifestyle. Permaculture ethics are Earth Care, People Care and Return of Surplus and this is taught by showing students to focus on local resources and their local community, and to have well thought out design practices to create abundance sustainably. Andrew and Elena aim at inspiring students with their own very real examples of transforming their lives with permaculture in a contemporary context. Having worked in a broad spectrum of climate and social conditions, they will share with their students the thrills but also the challenges they faced. Oftentimes permaculture is being presented as a panacea for world problems and the road to resilience and abundance is depicted as straightforward and easy. Andrew and Elena will challenge this notion and try to prepare their students in a realistic manner for their own fascinating journey towards change. Nikos will share his hands-on experience of building the ecolodge and designing the energy, water, plant and waste systems. We will have the rare opportunity to discuss and elaborate on Nikos’ and Marilia’s choices on different aspects of their project, reflect on the challenges, opportunities and limitations. Anyone who wants to bring a big change in his life and gain a thorough understanding of how we can use our natural e
