What we do

O Sítio Maracananduva, conhecido carinhosamente como SitiOm, é um verdadeiro oásis verde, localizado em Vargem Grande Paulista, a 40km da capital. Um espaço Eco-Cultural, que conta com uma casa colonial datada de 1790, construída em taipa de pilão, em meio a um bosque de jabuticabeiras, protegida pela vegetação do Bioma da Mata Atlântica.
Acreditamos na humanidade como mais um fio na “teia da vida”, onde cada elemento da natureza deve ser preservado e respeitado para garantir o equilíbrio da Biosfera. Além disso, entendemos que os problemas ecológicos atuais estão profundamente conectados aos problemas sociais. Assim, para que possamos seguir o caminho da preservação, ao invés da destruição, é necessário transformar profundamente as relações humanas: Eu comigo mesmo, eu com o outro e eu com o meio ambiente.
Pensando em novas formas de nos relacionar, nossa sede é uma moradia coletiva, onde a complexidade das relações humanas é um desafio para cada indivíduo, que pouco a pouco vai mudando sua rotina individualista e dando espaço para hábitos coletivos. Um aprendizado constante!
Ao abrirmos um pouco mais a visão, vemos que além de nos mesmos e a sociedade, existe também a Terra, o planeta que habitamos. Para transformar nossa relação com ela, utilizamos a Permacultura como ferramenta. São técnicas para se viver se forma sustentável, gerando resiliência e autonomia, por meio do resgate de saberes ancestrais unidos a novas tecnologias.
Nosso objetivo é fortalecer caminhos que nos levam a compreender novas formas de viver em harmonia, pois quando corpo, mente e espírito estão alinhados, o Ser Humano vive em conexão com o todo, se sentindo parte de um organismo vivo: a sociedade e o planeta em que habitamos, gerando impactos positivos na natureza e deixando marcas de respeito e amor na sociedade.
Procuramos prover um ambiente seguro para a criação e desenvolvimento de projetos ligados ao nosso intento de cuidar das relações, gerar autonomia e resgatar saberes ancestrais.

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/

Do you feel called to help co-create a small, newly forming eco-spiritual community?

Old structures are crumbling. New ways of living are calling. We are answering that call. Wild Grace is an eco-spiritual community located in the Sierra foothills 30 minutes from Grass Valley, California. We recently completed new homes for those who feel called to our vision. Currently there are four of us living on this sacred 80 acres of land although we are a hub for an expanded neighborhood community. Many join us weekly for potlucks, expressive dance, Qi Gong, monthly musical gatherings, and seasonal celebrations in our temple, as well as tending to our orchard. We are excited to welcome others to join us on the land who are dedicating their lives to spiritual growth and ready to live in a more focused and intimate heart-centered lifestyle. Might that be you or someone you know? The fundamentals are simple. Spirit. We listen personally and collectively together most mornings, usually starting with a musical offering, a prayer, or a short reading, followed by about 40 minutes of what we call “sacred silence.” Heart Circles. About once a week we gather to share and listen. We are informed by authentic and compassionate communication practices. Nature. The land itself—an 80-acre oasis of field and forest perched above the wild and scenic South Yuba River—calls for our stewardship in the gardens, orchard, greenhouses, and general care. In turn, nature feeds us abundantly, both literally and spiritually. Interbeing. We join with others to share inspiration and connection as we host monthly gatherings of song, story and prayer that draws from the larger community in addition to other events we share with our closer neighbors. As we attend to these fundamentals, Grace flows to and through us—often in “Wild” or unexpected ways. Grace catalyzes through us, but is not something we possess. Because we all are connected, we feel that Grace actively transforms n
