What we do

„EarthYou“
is a non-profit organization funded as an association in Portugal called „Associação Aldeia Ecológica EarthYou“. The name stands for the growth of a sustainable lifestyle in tune with nature, getting back to the roots, decreasing the velocity of todays’ life, for Earth, for You…Earth You!
We are
a sustainably thinking group with currently 10 members.
Among the members we have qualifications within the hotel and restaurant industries, elderly and child care, art and culture, business administration, landscape architecture, skills in agriculture and self-sufficiency and a vast competence in networking, communications and administration.
Through years’ of friendship we have developed the vision to live together in a small community in tune with nature.
Our major goal
is to raise a sustainable eco-village with own social facilities and a choice of educational programs in combination with ecotourism. Self-supplying with food is a key part of our activities herein. The homes will be completely built out of ecologically degradable materials, the water and energy supply and its disposal will be brought into a natural circulation without harming nature.
The community will strive for the common interest and to be open towards the outside, through different workshops, educational events and a selection of social activities, like day care for children and elderly care.
This settlement would function as a center of nature protection, culture, social diversity, education and community. Welcoming guests to these kinds of events ensures the right inflow of interested people.
Our group currently provides almost all needed competences to succeed. The community will develop in these next couple of years on its own property in Portugal, not exceeding 20 members. We are aware of the process before us and are ready to dedicate our lives to this project.
Currently
we are organizing ourselves as an association in Portugal.
Decisions are made together on frequent gatherings.
The suitable spot is already found, a paradise of a piece of land in South Portugal, which is perfect for exactly our project. Negotiations are already running and we have got green light to place the first headstone for our future in 2016!

Bioconstrucción de TALLER con carpintería de armar

La Escuela de Bioconstrucción Los Guindales propone un aprendizaje practico de bioconstrucción durante todo el año, en la finca de la ecoaldea Los Guindales (Algatocín – Málaga). Para mejorar las instalaciones del proyecto, vamos a construir un taller de carpintería. Durante el mes de agosto, lanzamos un llamamiento excepcional para poder avanzar la armadura con madera redonda. Se van a cuadrar troncos, a trazar en el suelo las varias piezas para luego trazar en las piezas mismas las cotas importantes, a cortar las piezas haciéndoles encajes tradicionales, a montar y a levantar los cinco pórticos previstos. Vamos a seguir la misma organización grupal que solemos tener ; hacemos turnos diarios de cocina, trabajamos de las 8h a las 10h, desayunamos hasta las 11h, y seguimos luego hasta el almuerzo a las 14h. Por la tarde seguiremos trabajando unas dos horas. Paralelamente, estamos cuidando una huerta y tres cabras. Para mas info sobre nuestra rutina y condiciones os dejo el enlace a seguir. https://escueladebioconstruccionlosguindales.wordpress.com/formacion/ Aquí somos un equipo fijo de cuatro personas llevando la escuela. Siembre habrán un mínimo de dos personas con experiencia para llevar el taller del mes de agosto. Tenéis a disposición un terreno grande para poner tiendas de campana, también hay una yurta según las disponibilidades. Pedimos una aportación de 120 euros para el mes entero o 70 euros para dos semanas para cubrir los gastos de comida. Caso tengan cualquier duda, no hesiten en hacérnosla saber. Pueden contactarnos a través de: bi*************************@***il.com
