Creativity will be spread through the valley whilst we live in community. A time where creative people meet, work together or next to each other and share inspiration and knowledge. Artists are warmly welcome to enjoy the creative atmosphere while being devoted to their art works: sculptors, paintors, writers, musicians, … At the same time we are happy when people want to supporte the works on the synthesis of arts “Valle de Sensaciones”. During that time we might treat some questions relevant for creative living in community, like: How much free space do I need within communitarian life to be able to unfold my creativity and dedicate myself to art work? How can communitarian life and work inspire my creativity? What do I need to find fulfillment through joining a communitarian creative project? This projects are planed for this period: * Clay construction on an outdoor shelf * Finishing the mandala roof above the goddess temple * Construction of a sweatlodge with integrated rocket heater * Construction of a cane dome as prototype of our future cultural center * Finishing the mosaics on the compost toilet * Woodwork and painting on our treehouses * Artistic permaculture landdesign

How can spiritual values and beliefs inspire and engage solutions for climate resilience? The rise in the active engagement on climate change of indigenous, religious and spiritual organizations around the world can be harnessed for collaboration, replication and expansion. Listen to stories from different faith movements and organizations around the world practicing and applying ecological design thinking.

Join representatives from the Global Ecovillage Network in conversation with Stuart Scott through which we will address our unique approach to grassroots-led community development, and how our approach of holistic, whole systems design is contributing to local level, community-led solutions to diverse environmental, economic, and social issues.
