What we do

Premise: “The world we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have, creates problems that we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them”. We must change our mental condition for us to change our social, economic and ecological circumstances.
Action: Increase a number of fundamental capabilities in the community members through a real-life, comprehensive learning process that will enable us to co-creatively build the life we have reason to value.
Condition: To ensure that the change is truly rooted in our people and therefore socially, economically and culturally sustainable and compelling, Isinilang na Maharlika must be a participatory process. This requires the attainment of a delicate balance between external inputs – capital, materials, technologies and expertise – and the internal resources of community members, while concentrating on strengthening and enlarging the capabilities of the community members to integrate and shape the creative process.
Outcome: A tangible and experiential proof of concept in the form of Isinilang na Maharlika Ecovillage that a prosperous life for all is very possible in a socially and ecologically harmonious manner, which can be replicated and scaled in other towns and provinces, and will be an inspiration and catalyst for people to implement these same changes in their own lives, organizations and communities:

  • An education system that enables and facilitates the development of each person’s full potential as human being
  • Ecologically resilient lifestyles in a regenerating natural environment
  • Meaningful economic activities that generate sufficient income for dignified and desirable lifestyles for all members

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
