What we do

As a plant medicine center we see the importance of preservation of the nature around us from destruction by illegal wood exploitation and mono cultivation. 70% of the chemical components in western medicine is extracted from local Amazonian plants. This incredible richness must neither be overexploited nor lost.
For this reason we started to build an ecovillage with low impact on the natural resources: we try to use natural products that don’t pollute, we started our permaculture garden on an edible forest base and a medicine plantation (Ayahuasca, Chacruna, Huambisa, Mocura etc).
People with the same spirit are welcome to join our project. We offer the land to build tiny houses and support for building them. In return we ask for time and knowledge to be given to the community.
We hope to reach a critical mass and to show examples for the local people to get inspiration to start their own permaculture cultivations in hope that they will entirely drop the use of chemicals that pollute the land and the water of nearby rivers.
Our community finds inspiration in the native people’s egalitarian way: we discuss problem together with the aid of ancestral medicine like ayahuasca or mambe’, medicines that increase the collaborative spirit and the understanding of the relations between humans and nature.
We are just starting out and plan to address many problems in the communities around like alcoholism, female condition and education for the local people. We do not want a ‘white savior’ approach and do our best to live together with the communities, to learn from each other and keep what works from our interactions. Our goal is not to teach and leave, but to progress together.

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
