What we do

Schweibenalp is a community, whose members by mindfully dealing with oneself and others make an active contribution to the strengthening of the field of consciousness of love, in which every human being can unfold its true potential.
The community at Schweibenalp explores and lives sustainable ways of living together and acting in the areas of community, spirituality, economy and ecology as possible models for a new world.
As a living and working community we manage the seminar business and the permaculture gardens of Schweibenalp. Depending on the season up to 30 people are living in the community. Additionally, every year numerous volunteers come to join us and support our work. As a part of the Global Ecovillages Network, we consider ourselves as one of the emerging models for a holistic cultural transformation. Therefore, a conscious lifestyle design considering the aspects of ecology, economy, the social and spirituality are important to us, influenced by values like respect for natural cycles, a fair economy and mindfully living together. In everyday life we connect in meetings, communal meals and by singing together as well as in special events such as rituals of thanksgiving, fire ceremonies, sweat lodges a.s.o. Mutual support and collective intelligence help us to overcome challenges and solve conflicts. The community encourages the members’ personal development.
Current members: 30
Current volunteers: 5-25
Ecological issues and permaculture are also very important to us.

BioconstrucciĂłn de TALLER con carpinterĂ­a de armar

La Escuela de BioconstrucciĂłn Los Guindales propone un aprendizaje practico de bioconstrucciĂłn durante todo el año, en la finca de la ecoaldea Los Guindales (AlgatocĂ­n – Málaga). Para mejorar las instalaciones del proyecto, vamos a construir un taller de carpinterĂ­a. Durante el mes de agosto, lanzamos un llamamiento excepcional para poder avanzar la armadura con madera redonda. Se van a cuadrar troncos, a trazar en el suelo las varias piezas para luego trazar en las piezas mismas las cotas importantes, a cortar las piezas haciĂ©ndoles encajes tradicionales, a montar y a levantar los cinco pĂłrticos previstos. Vamos a seguir la misma organizaciĂłn grupal que solemos tener ; hacemos turnos diarios de cocina, trabajamos de las 8h a las 10h, desayunamos hasta las 11h, y seguimos luego hasta el almuerzo a las 14h. Por la tarde seguiremos trabajando unas dos horas. Paralelamente, estamos cuidando una huerta y tres cabras. Para mas info sobre nuestra rutina y condiciones os dejo el enlace a seguir. https://escueladebioconstruccionlosguindales.wordpress.com/formacion/ AquĂ­ somos un equipo fijo de cuatro personas llevando la escuela. Siembre habrán un mĂ­nimo de dos personas con experiencia para llevar el taller del mes de agosto. TenĂ©is a disposiciĂłn un terreno grande para poner tiendas de campana, tambiĂ©n hay una yurta segĂşn las disponibilidades. Pedimos una aportaciĂłn de 120 euros para el mes entero o 70 euros para dos semanas para cubrir los gastos de comida. Caso tengan cualquier duda, no hesiten en hacĂ©rnosla saber. Pueden contactarnos a travĂ©s de: bi*************************@***il.com
