What we do

Arterra Bizimodu somos una comunidad intencional que nació en la primavera de 2014 en la localidad de Artieda, Navarra. Con el lema “Otro mundo no solo es posible, sino necesario”, levamos desde entonces caminando como Ecoaldea con el objetivo de dinamizar actividades hacia la autosuficiencia y de indagar otras economías que reflejen un nuevo equilibrio entre lo personal y lo colectivo, desplegando la creatividad y los diversos talentos de cada una de las personas que se van sumando al proyecto. Lo hacemos con la confianza de que sumando, es más fácil el camino.
Arterra Bizimodu nos presentamos pues como otra respuesta a la crisis imperante. Estamos auto organizándonos, apoyando el nacimiento de iniciativas emprendedoras diversas, talleres, cursos, huertos, artesanía, música, cooperativas… Tratamos de alcanzar economías sencillas, familiares; vivir y recrear una cultura de la abundancia de la vida, aprendiendo de la Tierra y de su generosa diversidad.
El co-habitar lo ponemos en práctica en un antiguo hotel rural, donde cada núcleo familiar o fuego (como aquí nos llamamos) dispone de su espacio individual, a la vez que compartimos los espacios comunes. Disponemos de 8000 metros cuadrados de espacios polivalentes: hemos transformado muchos de los espacios en lugares óptimos y sostenibles para el desarrollo de nuestros propósitos. Nos queda trabajo para convertir un antiguo edificio en un hábitat sostenible.
Somos un experimento en Sociocracia, explorando otras maneras de autogobierno y gestión colectiva. Es un modelo de autogobierno innovador que busca armonizar el reparto del poder y la eficiencia en las organizaciones.
Nos organizamos en Círculos para la gestión de las diferentes áreas comunes, nos reunimos una vez al mes todo el grupo para compartir como estamos… Vamos indagando estructuras capaces de acoger un grupo cada día mayor y trabajando en el crear un Campus para la Transición, donde disponer de las herramientas para ese mundo que sabemos posible.

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
