What we do

We would like to introduce ourselves! We are Youssef, 27 yrs and Andrea, 29 Yrs old.
We from Italy and we are two simple and positive people, we love being with other people.
We would like to contribute to improve this beautiful planet of ours. we create an eco blog named HelloEco(ecoarganblog.wordpress.com). We talk about our passions like biking and personal and spiritual growth, like PNL, meditations, Astrology and others awsome threads.
Youssef is from Morocco and loves introspective knowledge, practices meditation and reads books for personal and spiritual growth. Andrea is an Italian, who loves freedom and challenges. He brings his body to the limit visiting desolate places, like climbing mount Everest.
What do we do:
We love freedom, that’s why we want to valorize this value. Our imagination and our passion for the sports gave us the idea of opening an import-export company in a very special way: we will start from Italy and will arrive in Morocco by bikes. Once we reach the destination we will create the company! The journey is long 3440 km from Milan to Tamanar, in the province of Essaouira. We are aware of the risks we take, but we believe in the greatness of our purpose and our mission we are certainly that we will reach the finish line.
Passion and Freedom:
We determined to do the trip because biking is our passion and we would like to show it to everyone. We believe in individual freedom.
This would be an experience which will show that while working we can have fun! We hope our beliefs would touch the people’s hearts in the four states that we will cross and everywhere.
Our idea is to show people that there is a different world from what they know, and we believe that there are a lot of people who are working to improve it.
Share and Unity:
We want to share our experience with others to show that everyone creates their own reality. We will meet a lot of people from different cultures and I'm sure they have a lot of things to teach us. Our purpose is to create connection between ours and their culture. Then we would give everybody the opportunity to join us in the journey. Everyone is free to come and join the ride.
Eco-sustainability and Solidarity:
We will deal natural and organic products such as pure 100% argan oil cosmetics, argan soap, argan shampoo, pure 100% fenugreek oil and pure 100% aknari oil. Our purpose is to create a sustainable and ecological company, where people would be happy to work together. We all know how global warning increased caused by human activities or increasing greenhouse gases. It has destroyed the ecosystem, that’s why we would like to distribute natural products and use renewable energy with zero environmental impact. In addition we will create jobs for the poor households in Morocco. Also to help with the struggle of the Berber women for emancipation.
We need to be founded from the people because the company is oriented to our beautiful world. Funds are oriented to do the trip and open the company. We appreciate you being part of that project and contributing to it. Every donation is welcome.
If you dicided to fund the project please contact us on nbeppe88@gmail.com.
Thank you very much!

Yo Mujer, Yo Ecologico, Yo Gaia

Taller Vivencial de Ecologia Profunda para Mujeres Un fin de semana para Reconectarnos con nuestro Poder, la Naturaleza y la Red de la Vida Vivimos en tiempos desafiantes, con crisis en nuestros ecosistemas, economias y sociedades que están afectando a toda la vida del planeta. Para muchas personas esto puede ser angustioso y abrumador; tal vez no sepan como reaccionar. En este taller vamos a explorar como son nuestras respuestas al estado actual en que se encuentra el mundo; de un modo que nos ayude a despertar y acceder a la motivación, creatividad, fuerza y solidaridad necesarias para la transición a una cultura humana sostenible. Juntas haremos un recorrido que nos llevará a espacios en los que podamos reconocer en que maneras, nosotras como mujeres, sentimos los peligros que hay en estas crisis, experimientando sus efectos y visualizando y co-creando nuestro futuro. El sonido nos acompañara en este viaje y jugaremos con nuestras voces y tambores, para expresar nuestros sentires, nuestros deseos y nuestras esperanzas. Estas prácticas pueden reconectarnos con nuestro poder, el poder CON la Tierra, en lugar de Sobre la Tierra, lo cual es algo que las mujeres desde la antigüedad han sabido y entendido. Vivir en plenitud es conectar con nosotras mismas como partes activas de la Red de la Vida. Las mujeres siempre han sido activas en los movimientos sociales y medioambientales: en la Guerra Civil española, las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo en Argentina, en el Reino Unido ha existido un campamento antinuclear con unicamente mujeres por 20 años. Y más recientemente oimos las voces emergentes del Sur como Vandana Shiva y Wangari Maathai en campañas por la soberania alimentaria y los derechos de acceso a los recursos locales para la población local. Estas prácticas que realizaremos, han sido desarrolladas y utilizadas desde hace más de 40 años y están basadas en el trabajo de Joanna Macy, ecofilósofa, activista, estudiosa y profesora de la teoria de sistem

EDE France 2021 | Écovillage Sainte Camelle

We had to wait 2021, against all odds, to see the very first French EDE. How come it was only the 1st? Why never before? Well, we know why. FHF. This is why making an EDE in France was a tough challenge to take on. And yes, we did it! The group of participants we had for this EDE was so diverse that no clan emerged. It is quite usual that people gather by affinity in small groups but here, the entire group stuck together no matter what. The glue was really strong. Some personalities were more extraverted of course, but with a real care for other’s presence and voice. To the extent to become a real counter-power: if we made any facilitation mistake, if we failed to propose in the most careful way and if it felt like we were imposing anything, we would be immediately in trouble. We knew it came from a childhood school trauma for these people, who were very open about it. It was an amazing journey to navigate the facilitation process with such awareness. This context led to something incredible during week two: a very quiet voice, Pauline, protested against the fact that they had agreed to community agreements on the first day but now, she said, they had to review them by themselves and check if it reflects who they really are. We, as EDE crew members, opened a space in the program for them to take the time to do it. They used Sociometry, a tool taught to them before, to assess the agreements. They counted in percentage who agreed or not for each topic. They even discussed about the structure of the program and finally approved it. It was a very beautiful real-life example of self-empowerment. One of the most iconic moment of this EDE was the Derdian roleplay in which they completely immersed themselves for three hours. The participants playing the indigenous Derdians went in the forest and created another set of social rules to add to the existing 10 social rules, making it even harder for the engineers to understand them.

Liderar la Transición

Lo femenino del mundo, de las personas. De Mujeres y Hombres. La Transición que nuestro mundo sueña, necesita de una reformulación clara de los liderazgos. Reinventarse el liderazgo devolviéndolo a su lugar: ser una función de la eficiencia de los procesos colectivos; y dejando de lado los liderazgos basados en la acumulación de privilegios, en la desigualdad y en la dominación. Cuando lo Femenino ocupa el espacio de lo publico, trae consigo la realidad no visible; coloca en lo social los interrogantes necesarios para que lo social deje de estar fraccionado entre Publico/Privado, y pueda ser acogido como el Todo que es. Lo femenino en su esencia, despojado de los condicionamientos impuestos, libre de ser y expresar su potencial en un mundo que busca caminos hacia la inclusión, la escucha, la equivalencia, el empoderamiento de los seres y colectividades que cuidan de la Vida. Traer al espacio de lo Publico , lo invisibilizado: las mujeres, los pueblos olvidados, la propia Tierra, la parte oprimida de la humanidad; es una forma de integrar las necesidades de las personas , del planeta, de la humanidad como identidad . Esta propuesta quiere ser un espacio para abrir las puertas e indagar juntas sobre el papel de estos liderazgos en los procesos de cambio. Como son esos nuevos liderazgos? Como es encarnar estas posiciones en colectividades y organizaciones? Como viven el proceso las mujeres que están desarrollando estos nuevos liderazgos? Y las que no. Como se sienten los hombres ante los liderazgos de las mujeres? Y los que encarnan estos nuevos modelos de liderazgo. Buscar respuestas….temporales tal vez. Ofrecernos espacios para el debate, la indagación, profundizar, explorar. El Programa: (Provisional, sujeto a cambios) Viernes 9 por la tarde: Llegadas, instalarnos, visitar Arterra. 20.00: Cena y Presentaciones. 21.30: Cine y Debate. Sábado 10 : 9.00: Desayuno 10.00- 13.30 Taller: Liderazgo y Poder. 13.45:
