The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context.

Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi

The survival of our species relies on whether or not we act on the cry and the call of the earth we hear in our hearts. We humans, is a feedback mechanism of this self-regulating and living planet, Earth. We can feel and hear the cry and the pain of the Earth and we have the ability to creatively respond to this message in a way that would help the Earth to regulate herself, heal her pain and to thrive as an enlightened planet. As we are doing this, we also thrive in our human potentials. We are now having a wave of new “Earth Warrior” generation, who stands up for the right of Mother Gaia (Earth). They are the ones that care and wonder, the ones that seek to make a change in their own daily lives, the ones that take actions and the ones that unite others around them. Gaia Calling is for these Earth Warriors, warriors like you! We believe that the journey of regeneration might be long, but together we are stronger, wiser, happier and more determined than ever to reply to the call of the Earth. If you hear this call, please act on it! Before the earth stops talking. Key Objectives of the gathering are Healing – Empowerment – Connection – Action – Celebration. Click here to Register.
