What we do

The main objectives that support the establishment of this Ecovillage are: I) the improvement of the lifestyle of the people concerned; II) rural sustainable development; III) the creation of new jobs, mainly in the area of the Ecovillage. The essential strategy to be pursued in the carrying out of our agenda involves the combat of the degradation of nature. The knowledge the Ecovillages will spread can be summarized by the general focus of their three dimensions: Social/Community, Ecological Cultural/Spiritual. In our case, in the rural environment of the Northeast, this can be translated by the technology of permaculture, agroecology, agroforest, the replanting of native fruit trees, organic agriculture, housing, ecological building, health, education, transportation, energy and leisure. This technology will be made available and carried out by programs of planning, execution and assessment strategies of rural sustainable development that include fundraising for setting it up in the micro-region. As an immediate result we will have the establishment of the Ecovillage as an example of sustainability. As the program becomes well established there will be the generation of new jobs and income, cultural changes on the local level and, consequently, of the living conditions of the people in this semiarid region in Northeast Brazil. On the other hand, On the other hand, we all have the pleasure of experiencing joy and happiness of our practice of a mini universe, here, now and in the future.

Sacred Place Self Empowerment Course Retreat

Sacred Place is delivering its five day and ten day Self-Empowerment course at Earth Home, Chiang Mai, Thailand this November 7-16. The ten day Self Empowerment Course is the combination of the 5 day de-programming course and 5 day life purpose course. It is for those individuals that are ready to discover their True Self and implement their Life Purpose. If you want to transform your life or/and your career this ten day course facilitates the journey to create the life you actually want. It is vital to first remove the negative thoughts and behavioral patterns in order to start to rebuilding a strong inner foundation based on healthy levels of self-esteem and self-confidence. Once this de-programming and healing has taken place, you can then begin to uncover your Life Purpose. We advise individuals to attend the ten day Self Empowerment course due to the transformational impact of ten days. If that is not possible, we strongly suggest to first take the five day De-Programming course. Our courses are based upon 40 combined years working in the corporate sector and our own healing and empowerment journeys that began in 2006. We have created an all encompassing framework that employs the best most effective healing and empowerment modalities known to us to create deep transformation within a short period of time. We provide the tools and knowledge to guide you to uncover and deliver your Life Purpose now. The first five days course (Nov 7-11) is focused upon De-Programming/Healing. The second 5 day course (Nov 12-16) is focused upon Life Purpose course. The ten day Self Empowerment course is the combination of the two five day courses. Key subjects covered during the courses are Neuroplasticity, De-Programming, Inner Child work, Self Esteem, Self Confidence, Communication, Relationships, Life Purpose, Career Change and Creating a Business.
