What we do

Ma Da Ecovillage is an ongoing project to transform a community in Dong Nai province into a self-resilient, sustainable village for residents and the city’s freelancers and remote working professionals.
The project’s original location is a remote village between Tri An Lake and the Ma Da Nature Reserve. Its proximity to the city (~2 hours drive), freshwater body, and tropical jungle make it ideal for living. However, most residents are living below the poverty line, leaving it with many social and environmental issues.
Our project first started with an eco-farmstay cum educational project to provide free classes for local children. It quickly receives supports and attention of city people who visited and fell in love with this village. We are on the way to create a small community of professional who is deciding to relocate their family to the village, to enjoy the pristine atmosphere while still be able to maintain their jobs.
The project aims to provide:
– Connection between the professionals and residents;
– Quality sustainable housing and community management;
– Educational services (homeschooling) for children;
– Agriculture management for residents;

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:
