What we do

Zamukia Ecovillage Project is an ecovillage project located at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Palomino. The project is located in 3.2 hectares with ocean view located in Palomino, Colombia. It is surrounded by mountains, jungle, and a creek. It is a peaceful place where you can breathe clean air and farm organic food. We have learned from a variety of spiritual guides how to find our Great Human Nature and our interconnectedness to all, living beings, nature and cosmos. We apply that knowledge with that of permaculture, and alternative sustainable technologies. We look to practice meditation made out of non-religious elements to relate in harmony to the earth and cosmos.

How to join

If you are interested you can contact us so that we can send you a brochure with the information about our Ecovillage. After that, we can schedule a virtual meeting so that we can learn more about each others interests. After the first meeting we will schedule a second meeting to meet other interested or current members of the community. To be part of our community we sell shares that allow you to construct a house of a max of 150 square meters and you will have a total of 600 square meters for farming (including the house). We provide our members with a basic design so that you can use it to construct a sustainable house, which recollects water, it is water efficient and reuses water. It also produces electricity and has other features such as composting toilets and is designed to be constructed with sustainable materials. The ecovillage has two communal houses already in the property which provides those who want to share washing machines or the fridge, the possibility to do so. One of the houses can be used for a healing/ ceremonial center. There is a reserve and communal garden available as well. The biodiversity is rich and unique.

No: 196/3 Detailed info (Turkish): http://yeryuzudernegi.org/projedetay.php?id=51 Coordinators: SULE GONULSUZ sulegonulsuz@hotmail.com NURIYE KAYALI kayalinuriye@gmail.com We use local seeds and we provided those seeds from people who make organical farming. After we procure those seeds, we put them on a cycle. We organized “Seed Exchange Days”, where people could meet and exchange their seeds, their knowledge and experiences. We tried to take it one step further and we are trying to categorize the seeds. For example, -there is a bean seed. But which type of bean seed is it? Or we try to categorize the seeds according to their durabilty in which city they could grow. We believe that all the seeds in the World are people’s seeds and we want to share them with everyone.

Ecotratamiento de Aguas Residuales

Agua es vida, el recurso más importante de todos. Desde la perspectiva de Sunseed como un centro educativo sobre la vida de bajo impacto nos gustarĂ­a ofrecerles un curso para aprender, profundizar e intercambiar los conocimientos teĂłricos y prácticos sobre el cuidado de agua. El curso va a estar enfocado principalmente en el tema de saneamiento ecolĂłgico de aguas residuales, cubriendo a la vez los aspectos teĂłricos de potabilizaciĂłn de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Vamos a aprender como diseñar y construir un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas grises a travĂ©s de la construcciĂłn de humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial, en cuales se trata de la utilizaciĂłn de plantas acuáticas para depurar las aguas residuales que han tenido un tratamiento primario. Los humedales artificiales son canales de gravilla sembrados con las plantas depuradoras, han sido aplicadas y debidamente reguladas en varios paĂ­ses de Europa y ofrecen una alternativa sana y segura tanto para autogestionar los recursos de agua como poder reutilizar agua tratada en un hogar. Usando herramientas como power point, videos y charlas vamos a aprender sobre el diseño y aspectos claves para tener en cuenta construyendo nuestro sistema casero. En tiempo libre vamos a divertirnos con juegos, mĂşsica y baños en una poza cercana. El curso va a estar dividido en partes teĂłricas y prácticas. La parte práctica va a incluir – Diseño de un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas residuales – las tuberĂ­as, tratamiento primario (trampas de grasa y tanques sĂ©pticos), tratamiento secundario (Humedales Artificiales de Flujo Subsuperficial), riego con aguas grises. – ConstrucciĂłn de una trampa de grasa como el tratamiento primario – PreparaciĂłn de un humedal artificial de flujo horizontal – impermeabilizaciĂłn y conexiones. Parte teĂłrica va a cubrir la introducciĂłn a la potabilizaciĂłn de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Para mejorar nuestra experiencia educativa vamos a definir los aspec
