Ecovillage Les 3 sources

Von 1986 bis 2012 sind in der Region Kassel 4 Gemeinschaften entstanden: die Kommune Niederkaufungen, die Villa Locomuna in Kassel, die gASTWERKe in Escherode und der Lossehof in Oberkaufungen. Alle Gruppen basieren auf den Grundsätzen Gemeinsame Ökonomie und Konsens bei der Entscheidungsfindung und sind Teil des KommuJa-Netzwerkes der politischen Kommunen. Im Laufe der Jahre haben sich die 4 Gemeinschaften immer mehr vernetzt und gemeinsame Projekte auf den Weg gebracht: das „Los geht´s!“, die „Solidarische Landwirtschaft“ und andere gruppenübergreifende Arbeitskollektive. Das Seminar stellt das Leben in einer Kommune am Beispiel der vier Gemeinschaften vor. Es sollen die Gemeinsamkeiten der Gruppen, ihre unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkte und individuellen Wege betrachtet werden. Angesprochen sind an Kommunen interessierte Menschen und solche, die sich schon konkret überlegen in eine der vier Gemeinschaften einzusteigen oder eventuell eine weitere Gruppe in der Region zu gründen. Vorgestellt werden Perspektiven der einzelnen Gruppen, leer stehende Fachwerkhäuser und Neubaugebiete in der Region, wo Co-Housing-Projekte oder andere Gemeinschaftsprojekte initiiert werden könnten.

You are invited – and you are needed – to participate in One World Bearing Witness, a free 24-hour global ritual designed to take a step toward healing our divided humanity and the destruction of our Earth. For 24-hours, from December 2nd to 3rd, using the latest videoconferencing technology, you can participate in a live, virtual ritual space that will enable you and thousands of like-minded people around the globe to bear witness to Unity and wholeness in the face of the historical wrongs that we humans have done to each other and to life on this planet. By holding this whole of the human experience together — not as a concept or idea but as a felt resonance within the field of consciousness that participants will be in together — we can create a new potential for healing connection within human consciousness. Together, we can take the ancient role and potential of ritual to a new level in the digital age. Find out more: go to One World Bearing Witness. Register now – it’s free with donations gratefully accepted – and receive a beautiful ebook, The Gift of Peace, created by peace activists and artists, William Kelly and Rama Mani. Rama will be part of One World Bearing Witness.

Are you looking to consciously re-invent cooperative and harmonious ways of living and working together? If so, how do we design solutions for group development, leadership, conflict resolution, decision-making, creativity, social justice and communication? Join Gaia Education’s Social Design for Sustainability course and learn practical effective ways to create the change we all seek. Our distinct programme is your chance to learn about the different ways to participate in this (r)evolutionary shift in paradigms. Our aim is to give you a better understanding of the true meaning of social equity and participatory action, and to enable participants to apply transformative tools that align us with more resilient social systems. Our relationship with others is too dear to let it default to old domineering paradigms. Many of us feel that our current social system is no longer sustainable and that more compassionate and just ways of organising are possible, but what are the alternatives? It is a commonly held belief that there are things individuals can do to change the system or improve their social condition but within the context of a complex global community, the effectiveness of isolated individual action is limited. We all co-create the system in which we live so once we join with others and work for a shared vision to improve the situation in our communities we participate in a powerful force for positive change If you have been part of a group, you already know that one of the most common reasons for failure of group projects is conflict. Conflict is a structural issue in the formation of groups so propagating successful group projects will necessarily entail a healing process in which we step out of the cycles of pain and violence that have run through human history and take responsibility for initiating new patterns.
