What we do

ALMA is a french acronym that means “Accompany the world that comes after”
Also:
* the scholar in Arab
* the nourishing in Latin
* the soul in latin modern languages
=> Thus the 3 foundations of our vision:
* pass the 21st century necessary knowledges (how to get food from the earth, build a cheap house…)
* nourishing people with healthy food, culture…
* become better version of ourselves with wellbeing, good communication…
But also:
* Create a model scientifically monitored (hence solid argues to defend alt societies models), “open source”, replicable and adapted anywhere, at different scales.
* Reach a good amount of self-sustainability on every life aspects
Some values / goals:
* “classics” of ecovillages: kindness, solidarity, mutual aid, multi-generation-origins-countries, social melting pot, permaculture…
* Open-minded: without any banners, but celebrating pluralities (the founder belongs to LGBT community), accepting differences…
* Festive: from sharing a smile, the living happiness, to the organisation of 4 seasons festivals, always celebrating victories and preparing occasions for it.
* Entrepreneur minded: if we know what and how to do, then let’s do it today and not tomorrow. Having no fear of others, of failures… Evaluate the risk yes, but no stuck minded.
* “0.5”: the opposition to the binary machine 0 1 language. Human being should be a cursor evolving around this 0.5, never radical as 0 or 1, trying to estimate pros and cons, to find the balance for everything.
Our place is awesome !
* 5ha of legal land to install alt houses
* 4500 sqm of buildings to host almost every activities
* 1.3 ha of pond. Source, small river, well, drilling, town water.
* Few ha of wood
* More than 2000 h / year of sun, ocean at 20 min…
For instance only few people are involved in ALMA. A lot of technical stuffs are already done, less exhaustion in the future.
We recruit 20 families with 3 must-have:
* human harmony with us
* skills we need
* at least 30 k€

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/
