What we do

Greencross Ecovillage India
Greencross Eco Village & Olympuss Centre for Deep Ecology and Ecosophy. Human civilization is heading fast to a dead end due to unsustainability. Self-centered developmental pattern adopted by man ignoring the fact that he is an integral part of a large system called Nature and the Universe has now proven to be detrimental. Olympuss Center for deep Ecology and Ecosophy is a vision enabling man to find his own integral position in the Ecosystem helping him to regain the balance that he has distorted and find true peace and happiness thereby leading to integrated sustainable development.Olympuss teach Ecosophy as a connecting link between ancient traditional wisdom and the latest in material science, the Quantum Science. This automatically leads us to Ecospirituality where one can find own answers to the various problems faced by human beings and to the various unsustainable chaos happening consequent to his intervention in Nature, Society and in his own body systems. With this vision, Olympuss has planned a Campus for Teaching and Research on Deep Ecology, Ecosophy and its practical applications through cross-disciplinary subjects. Applied Ecosophy will show us the way to comprehensive sustainable ways to live coherently. This Center will be developing sustainable technologies, products and modalities and will be imparting the knowhow and train people through a vocational institute to take up Green Entrepreneurship, Green jobs, Permaculture ventures etc. There will be also a center for developing human rhythmic balances (balancing rhythm and logic) to enable him to deal better with people in day today life and for fine performing arts, which are being forgotten. Olympuss plan to create a model Ecovillage self reliant and self -sustainable to host these institutions. The proposed self sustainable village will have green Buildings for the Olympus Ashram, Teaching Institutions, Research Facilities, Library, Training Centers, Community hall/auditorium for performing arts, Cottages for inmates and visitors, Wellbeing Centers, Organic food source from Permaculture in the Campus and a Wholesome Food Kitchen. Olympuss also envisages model Green Employment/Green Business Villages for integrated and sustainable development. Olympus is starting a pilot project in Palghat Dist. Kerala. After showcasing the world what his vision intends to do he is planning to acquire a pure virgin land inside forest with the backdrop of mountains and river somewhere in the Western Ghats as it will the best venue to host such a tribute to Mother Earth considering it’s rich biodiversity. The total project will be vested on Mother Earth under a Charity Trust, Green Cross Foundation.

GEN inspires local authorities and governments to include ecovillage development programmes in their strategies for the implementation of SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement.

Asamblea, 2000

A la asamblea constituyente de Madrid acudieron los siguientes colectivos: Amayuelas (Palencia), La Carrucha Cultural (Huesca), La Osa (Asturias), Permacultura Montsant (Tarragona), Valdepiélagos (Madrid), Matavenero (León), La Garrotxa (Girona), Vettonia (Salamanca), Jardines de Acuario (Murcia), GEA, Bajo el Asfalto está la Huerta (Madrid), Cosas de la Luna (Madrid), Mas Noguera (Castellón). No estuvieron en la reunión, pero manifestaron su deseo de pertenecer a la Red: Los Arenalejos (Málaga), Más Lluerna (Lérida), El Pardal (Jaén), Habioclima (Lérida), Valberzoso (Palencia), As.Macrobiótica PAM (Huesca), Equi-libre (Tarragona). En la reunión se decidió hacer una página web, que se instalaría en el servidor del GEN Europa. Los contenidos de la página incluirán información de los proyectos existentes y otras informaciones útiles para la Red y para las personas de fuera. Todavía pendiente de hacer. La Red tomará el nombre de Red Ibérica de Ecoaldeas, RIE. Se han hecho contactos con personas de Portugal que están dentro del movimiento de ecoaldeas y no han puesto ningún reparo al nombre, aunque consideran prematuro unirse a la RIE. De momento prefieren formar la Red portuguesa de ecoaldeas. Se decidió también formar parte de la Red Global de Ecoaldeas, GEN Europa, con la que ya teníamos contactos. La Carrucha (ahora Selba) lleva la coordinación entre la RIE y el GEN Europa. Ulysses informó de que el directorio de ecoaldeas estaba prácticamente terminado. Sólo faltan algunas fotos y algunos datos. Se recordó a todos los miembros de la RIE que contamos con dos revistas impresas, La Osa y GEA (a partir del otoño de 2001, GEA desaparece y tendremos en su lugar una revista de mayor tirada para la difusión de la RIE: ReHabitar). Por último se decidió que el siguiente encuentro sería en la ecoaldea Los Arenalejos (Málaga), del 23 al 26 de agosto de 2001.
