What we do

El nombre de la parroquia en la que vivo es Bulán. El origen de su nombre tiene dos versiones: la primera es que se origina de la palabra “Bulo-Bulo” en honor a un español llamado Fernando Rojas Veintimilla, que vino a la parroquia de un lugar de España llamado así, razón por la cual se la denominó Bulán. Otro significado es que proviene de una palabra de origen quichua que significa “Donde la paloma fija su residencia” Bulán fue fundada el 16 de febrero de 1940 y se encuentra ubicada en la parte nororiental de la provincia del Azuay, dentro del Cantón Paute.
Es una zona rural que posee gran variedad de flora y fauna. Además, su gente es trabajadora y humilde. Bulán tiene como comida típica el cuy asado con papas, el dulce de higo y de manzana, así como también no puede faltar el sancocho con mote sucio acompañado de la chicha de jora.
Su gente trabajadora se dedica mas a la producción de frutas como son: las peras, manzanas, duraznos, reina claudia, mirabeles, albaricoques, santas rosas, entre otras. Una de las principales riquezas de este sector es el ser humano, puesto que es fundamental para el desarrollo de la parroquia. Luego tenemos al suelo, al agua y a las montañas. Las cuales tenemos que cuidar y preservar para continuar teniendo un ambiente sano rodeado de muchas especies naturales y animales.

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
