About the Organizations

What we do

CASA Latina is the Council of Sustainable Settlements of Latin America, which coordinates and strengthens regional and national networks that promote, educate, investigate and disseminate sustainable lifestyles.

The CASA formation process begins in the Call of the Mountain – Ibero-American meeting of ecovillages in Colombia, in January 2012, which was joined by ecovillagers, representatives of sustainable settlements and promoters of rural and urban initiatives, which made us understand that it was time to recognize the articulation of sustainable settlements.

CASA Latina seeks to create and visualize living examples that can inspire the change towards life patterns that rescue and regenerate the ecological, economic and social systems, which we consider vital to guarantee the permanence of the human species on Earth. We define sustainable settlements as those that practice and cultivate creative habits of care between human beings and the diversity of life forms and entities of nature.

We operate by local nodes, we work remotely and we organize face-to-face meetings. The most far-reaching ones are Llamado de la Montaña (Colombia) and Consejo de Visiones México – Guardianes de la Tierra.

School of self-sufficiency

Communal Camp-out, Learn new skills and get amongst nature for the weekend. This is a unique program that allows participants to learn 8 new skills over one weekend from a variety of self-sufficiency categories whilst camping out and experiencing community living at one of our farm or outback locations. We invite eight great teachers to come along and pass on their specialty skills and/or knowledge in a two hour session each. Some classes will be very high energy, hands-on and practical and others will be at a slow pace, relaxed and engaging, and there will also be plenty of time for socialise and have a great time with the other participants. It’s like a mixture of TED talks, ConFest skill-shares, Scouts, practical classes and all round communal good times. FEBRUARY WORKSHOP WEEKEND PROGRAM Creative Collective Workshops 1.

Upcycling Cardboard Boxes (Box Craft), with BoxWars founder Ross Koger. “A network of cardboard warriors who are engaged in an epic struggle for the liberty of corrugated creativity.” One of our main goals is to bring cardboard back to the consumers who discarded it in the first place without realising its true potential. This we consider a war…..and no war is without conflict. Become a warrior fight the good fight – learn from the master of Boxwars, Ross Koger. He will be teaching us practical techniques on how to re-use cardboard boxes and craft them into new structural forms. Class format: Hands-on crafting. 3.
