What we do

“Amalurra”, Madre Tierra, es el nombre en euskera del proyecto comunitario que nació como un sueño de convivencia y unidad. Un proyecto de comunidades intencionales situadas en Artzentales (Bizkaia), Caparacena (Granada) y Can Cases (Catalunya) compuesto por unas 100 personas (www.amalurra.org). Este proyecto ha sido materializado en base al trabajo grupal de introspección y desarrollo que Irene Goikolea (http://www.irenegoikolea.es) ha venido realizando. Amalurra quiere ser una contribución al proceso de transformación planetaria a favor de una nueva conciencia global, en sintonía con otros movimientos sociales que comparten la misma intención.
Origen:
La semilla de Amalurra se gestó en los años 90, en el seno de los primeros círculos de mujeres en la ciudad de Bilbao (Bizkaia), con el propósito de despertar a la capacidad sintiente del aspecto femenino sagrado, enterrado bajo la ética del patriarcado, para reconocer y honrar nuestros sentimientos excluidos, reprimidos u olvidados a fin de recuperar la vida perdida. Más adelante, una vez que las mujeres recuperamos nuestro espacio femenino y nuestra voz propia, estos círculos abrieron sus puertas a los hombres que decidieron también unirse a este movimiento, y así creamos los círculos mixtos.
El salto a la comunidad:
El volver a la tierra y el recuperar el sentimiento de comunidad, de grupo, de pueblo, surgió como un proceso natural y con la misma proporción de ilusión como de vértigo, decidimos vender nuestros pisos (los que tenían) y comprar un terreno en el campo para construir un sueño, una locura, un experimento,.. cada cual aportó lo que pudo. En este sentido, Amalurra nace como camino o plataforma para favorecer el encuentro con uno mismo a través del otro.
Uno de los objetivos que nos marcamos en nuestra experiencia comunitaria fue el de promover espacios de diálogo y convivencia que nos permitieran acceder a la sabiduría de nuestros ancestros y recuperar valores intrínsecos de nuestra cultura.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.

Earth Activism - Workshop with Starh

In these troubling times, when our global leaders are failing to grapple with the immense threats to our climate, our environment, and our well-being, how do we find our personal power and confidence to step up into new realms and play on a larger stage? We can draw nourishment from nature and community. In this workshop, we’ll use ritual, meditation, guided journeys, dance and song to connect with the deep wellsprings of inspiration that the earth offers us. We will explore the internal and social barriers that keep us from stepping into our full power. And we’ll work with tools and insights that can help us become more effective co-creators of the new world we must bring to birth. This retreat will provide the opportunity to re-root your spirit, politics, and day-to-day life in a deeper relationship with the Earth. Starhawk tailors her workshop to her audience as much as she can and some of the work she does is dependent on who is present and what the questions are that come up in the work. About Starhawk (www.starhawk.org): Starhawk is an author, activist, permaculture designer and teacher, and one of the most respected voices in modern Goddess religion and earth-based spirituality. She is the author or coauthor of twelve books, including the classics The Spiral Dance and The Fifth Sacred Thing. Her latest are The Empowerment Manual: A Guide for Collaborative Groups, and City of Refuge. Seminarplace (www.schloss-tempelhof.de): The community Schloss Tempelhof was founded in 2010 and currently consists of 120 people. On the 31 hectares of the community are communal apartments, industrial premises, a solidary agriculture, a free school and numerous other creative projects.

Start – Friday, 5th of August 2016 at 4 pm, arrival possible from 2 pm Optional tour of Schloss Tempelhof: 3 to 4 pm End – Sunday,
