About the Communities

What we do

We are an ecovillage called Giardino della Gioia, that would like to become a comunity. There is already enough structure to host 10 people, we have 3 yurts, 1 straw house, 1 caravan, 1 tipi, a draft of tree house, 4 compost toilets, a kitchen, a meditation circus and a bathroom with sauna, but right now we are just two! All is built with natural material and with the principles of permaculture. We live in an olive garden in a National Park in front of the Adriatic cost (800m walk), the energetic line of San Michele pass through this area, and you can feel it. We consider this place as a healing place, that invites us to work on the awakening of consciousness and to work on yourself.
This project has a lot of potential, but needs energy to evolve.
In this 6 years many people have given their energy and together we worked to try to find new concepts for relationships, based on trust and transparency. We believe in gift economy when it is possible, the comunity provides the basic things, the rest is left to a private creativity. We try to be self sufficient and we make courses in the summer. We have solar panels where we get all our energy, a solar kitchen and we have a well for the water, though it is a little bit salty and we take drinkable water from the city, 16 km from us.
We try to create awareness amongst people around us, such as the environmental problems, cleaning the beach each summer and we also try to produce as less garbage as possible in our daily lifes. We like to do yoga and meditation but we are not stuck on a specific but are open to try different techniques. We believe in the way of the circle to share and take decisions and we are also try to introduce sociocracy and we would like to work on emotions with the forum.
We try to live life with healthy values without drugs and alchool (there is a smoking area for transition) we are vegetarian almost vegan.
This is what ,we have achieved until now, all the rest we will develop together.
The ecovillage need to be lived everything is here, waiting for you and your energy.

Healing Love Healing Money: Trust As The Foundation For A New Culture

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest. Cost: sliding scale Details and registration: https://www.clearskycenter.org/event/healing-love-healing-money-online/
