What we do

We are an aspiring ecovillage initiative located in the rural township of Fuli in eastern Taiwan. This ecovillage was started by a husband-wife couple with the hopes of creating a healthy and natural space of living that facilitates healing of humans as well as the planet.
We are starting our ecovillage journey by managing a rice farm using natural farming method, selling rice and its derivative products (including miso, rice noodles, and rice cakes) and sell these products to sustain our living and support the ecovillage development. At the same time, we explore, experience and learn about the local social and environmental situation and experiment practical ways to develop an ecovillage according to the local context.
Being new comers to the rural and ecovillage way of living, we are taking a step by step approach towards sustainability. We are aware that our current behavior and way of living have a long way to go from the ecovillage ideals, but we are definitely taking small but concrete steps heading towards that direction. We really resonates with GEN’s idea that an ecovillage is a process instead of a particular outcome.
At the moment, we have grown to having five full time residents (4 adults and 1 toddler) living and working to manage our farm and develop our ecovillage. We have also recently purchased a piece of land and is planing to build structures and move there in the near future.
In the coming future, we are looking to develop our food garden and forest, building our natural buildings, develop courses and programs for people experience this way of living, having a naturopathy healing center, and also nature school.

Liderar la TransiciĂłn

Lo femenino del mundo, de las personas. De Mujeres y Hombres. La TransiciĂłn que nuestro mundo sueña, necesita de una reformulaciĂłn clara de los liderazgos. Reinventarse el liderazgo devolviĂ©ndolo a su lugar: ser una funciĂłn de la eficiencia de los procesos colectivos; y dejando de lado los liderazgos basados en la acumulaciĂłn de privilegios, en la desigualdad y en la dominaciĂłn. 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 inclusiĂłn, 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 indagaciĂłn, 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:
