Arenalejos, 2001

About the event

Y van cuatro. Y siempre nuevas caras. Mujeres, hombres y niñ@s de procedencias dispares, probablemente con distintos intereses, pero en cualquier caso dispuest@s a participar en un evento que tiene un aglutinante común: la búsqueda de una forma de vida más simple, más ecológica y sobre todo más humana.

Más de cien personas, la mayoría provinientes de Andalucía, algunas del lejano Norte como se ve desde allí, se reunieron en la ecoaldea Los Arenalejos (Alozaina, Málaga) para conocer el estado actual del movimiento de ecoaldeas, para intercambiar impresiones con nuevos y viejos amigos, para saber de posibles proyectos en marcha, para ofrecer el suyo, para celebrar juntas su apego a la Tierra, su preocupación por la gente, para divertirse y gozar de un hermoso lugar, una estupenda comida y el abrazo cálido de los anfitriones.

Los Arenalejos

En 1987 nueve personas, que en pocos meses pasaron a ser sólo cinco, compraron 18 has. de tierra para iniciar un proyecto de colectividad rural. El lugar incluía un antiguo molino de aceite en bastante mal estado que tras mucho esfuerzo se reconstruyó para convertirse en la casa principal. La finca se halla a 350 m. de altitud, cerca de la Sierra de las Nieves. La tierra y el clima son ideales para la agricultura, y en particular la fruticultura es una de sus actividades principales: tienen 4 has. de frutales que producen aguacates, lichis, nogales, guayabos, nísperos, caquis, mangos, granados, chirimoyos, melocotoneros, etc. También disponen de 12 has. de olivar en mal estado de conservación para el que se necesita ayuda.

Las dos familias (cinco adultos y cuatro niños) que viven ahí actualmente obtienen todos sus ingresos de actividades que realizan en el lugar. Aparte de la fruticultura, también venden cerámica (muy bella, por cierto) y disponen de una carpintería. Tienen una huerta biológica para autoconsumo, quieren terminar una casa para turismo rural y van a hacer un sistema de lagunaje para la depuración de aguas.

Nature Connected Community Design

During this week we will explore what it means to create and to be community. We will use permaculture principles, permaculture design and practices from indigenous cultures worldwide as our main toolbox. At the same time we will be experiencing community life first-hand in the new eco-community of Haslachhof, which will be our venue, our village and our social landscape to design for and with. We will also be sharing practices of cultural repair as they have been gathered over time by earth-based people worldwide and spread by the 8 shields community. On top of this connecting with self and others we will also connect to the land and its creatures – we are blessed to have forests and a creek nearby. We will practice nature connected community design by working on design exercises relating to the Haslachhof community. This course is for everyone interested in community design and suits people who have already done a full 72 hours permaculture design course and want to deepen their social permaculture skills as well as for people without any previous permaculture or nature connection experience who want to learn about community design and deep nature connection. Come and… Live a week in an evolving community! Learn about community building! Practice permaculture principles and social permaculture design! Explore techniques for cultural repair! Deepen your nature connection! Course facilitators: Lien de Coster Lien is an inner tracker who guides people on their path towards nature and soul connection.
