About the Communities

What we do

O Instituto Visão Futuro está localizado no Parque Ecológico Visão Futuro, uma propriedade de 85 hectares perto das pequenas cidades de Quadra e Porangaba, e duas horas de carro de São Paulo. Foi fundado em 1992 como um centro de educação ambiental para crianças, jovens e adultos. O projeto inicialmente foi financiado pelo SIDA (Swedish International Development Agency) através da Globetree Foundation of Sweden, que ajudou a estabelecer a infra-estrutura ecológica. O projeto do Parque, com 16 moradores e 40 funcionários, é baseado nos 3 aspetos de uma ecovila: espiritual, ecológico e social.

ECOLÓGICO
Horta orgânica que provê auto-suficiência na maioria das necessidades alimentares, com sistema de irrigação por gotejamento para conservar a água, certificada com o Instituto Biodinâmico
Reciclagem de lixo orgânico na compostagem
Reciclagem de água, com sistema de tratamento biológico de água e de esgoto
Energia alternativa incluindo luz solar, bomba solar e catavento
Farmácia de manipulação de plantas medicinais
Casas “água-eficientes” onde toda a água da chuva é captada em cisternas, e após o uso doméstico é reciclada para os vasos sanitários; a descarga dos vasos é tratada biologicamente e usada para irrigar pequenos pomares.

ESPIRITUAL
A “cola” do Parque é a filosofia e a prática de Tantra – que não é o “yoga do sexo” mas um sistema científico para a expansão e a elevação da consciência. Cursos regulares sobre Biopsicologia, a integração do Tantra com a psicologia ocidental e a “medicina corpo/mente” são oferecidos no Parque todos os fins de semana, e em uma forma condensada durante as férias. Todos os moradores praticam regularmente yoga e meditação, que certamente é um dos fatores principais na harmonia interpessoal da comunidade.

SOCIAL
Desde 1995 as atividades do Parque tem sido direcionadas para ajudar a comunidade local (uma região de baixa renda e alto desemprego) com o estabelelcimento dos seguintes projetos:

Creche Crescer foi inaugurada em 1996 com o apoio da cidade vizinha Quadra, e atende atualmente 25 crianças de 1 a 6 anos. O ensino é baseado na sistema de Educação Neo-Humanista que desenvolve todos os níveis do ser humano.

Horta orgânica comercial: Em 1996 iniciou-se a horta orgânica produzindo vegetais orgânicos para vender, com o objetivo de empregar pessoas locais. No momento a horta envolve 13 pessoas locais entre produção e distribuição.

Uma doceria foi estabelecido em 2003 junto com a plantação de centenas de arvores frutíferas para empregar mais pessoas do bairro cuidando dos pomares, e na produção de geleias e doces.

Atualmente o Parque está empregando 40 pessoas do bairro; é o terceiro maior empregador na área.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.

La Dimensión Social del Diseño Regenerativo

Are you looking to consciously re-invent cooperative and harmonious ways of living and working together? If so, how do we design solutions for group development, leadership, conflict resolution, decision-making, creativity, social justice and communication? Join Gaia Education’s Social Design for Sustainability course and learn practical effective ways to create the change we all seek. Our distinct programme is your chance to learn about the different ways to participate in this (r)evolutionary shift in paradigms. Our aim is to give you a better understanding of the true meaning of social equity and participatory action, and to enable participants to apply transformative tools that align us with more resilient social systems. Our relationship with others is too dear to let it default to old domineering paradigms. Many of us feel that our current social system is no longer sustainable and that more compassionate and just ways of organising are possible, but what are the alternatives? It is a commonly held belief that there are things individuals can do to change the system or improve their social condition but within the context of a complex global community, the effectiveness of isolated individual action is limited. We all co-create the system in which we live so once we join with others and work for a shared vision to improve the situation in our communities we participate in a powerful force for positive change If you have been part of a group, you already know that one of the most common reasons for failure of group projects is conflict. Conflict is a structural issue in the formation of groups so propagating successful group projects will necessarily entail a healing process in which we step out of the cycles of pain and violence that have run through human history and take responsibility for initiating new patterns. Rediscovering the beauty, compassionate nature and innate power of human beings
