Radical Friendship & Intercultural Community Building

Comunidad Acuario: Committed Friendship & Autarky in Colombia. We build a resilient village based on deep social connection and off-grid independence. We avoid "expat bubbles" through true intercultural symbiosis with our local neighbors. Our goal: a safe, hierarchy-free environment supported by permaculture and a shared workshop concept. Using Sociocracy & the CBW method, we ensure clear, honest co-creation. Looking for partners to build this social immune system from the ground up.

As a community organizer and FIT at community building international, I focus on the social architecture of intentional communities. I facilitate Community Building Workshops (CBW) based on the Scott Peck method to establish deep communication of truthfulness and extraordinary respect. My work bridges the gap between individual personal growth and collective structural stability, ensuring that community life remains healthy and resilient even during challenging times

Primary interests: Radical Friendship, Social Architecture, Community Building (M. Scott Peck Method), Intercultural Symbiosis, Permaculture, Off-grid Autarky, Alternative Economic Systems, Conflict Resolution, Regenerative Agriculture, Sustainable Manufacturing
