What we do

El Jardín nace como iniciativa luego de haber realizado la Primera Caravana de la Permacultura en Venezuela (Mayo de 2011) junto a la Ecoescuela El Manzano de Chile, recorriendo 14 estados del país y realizando talleres y conversatorios en 4 ciudades, de las cuales una de las paradas se realizó en La Azulita, quedando enamorados de las montañas azules, su biodiversidad y el calor de su gente. El Jardín es una organización cuya misión es aumentar la participación efectiva de comunidades conscientes en la construcción de hábitats sustentables, bioconstrucción, conservación del agua, energías renovables, producción agroecológica de alimentos y la organización social participativa.
Ofrecemos espacios de formación para adquirir habilidades en ámbitos tan importantes como la producción de alimentos, restauración de suelos, el almacenamiento y procesamiento de alimentos, construcción de espacios con materiales alternativos y una variedad de trabajos manuales para mejorar las capacidades de autosuficiencia y la cooperación en la era post-petrolera. Desarrollar estas habilidades es una ventaja inmensa para resolver dificultades que enfrentan hoy muchos adultos y jóvenes ante la crisis que vive Venezuela.

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi
