What we do

(English below)
Iniciativa de la sociedad civil que conjunta esfuerzos individuales y colectivos de organizaciones, instituciones, movimientos y personas, conscientes de la situación post-desastre a partir de los sismos ocurridos en sept/2017 y que dejaron afectadas muchas poblaciones de los estados de Oaxaca, Chiapas, Morelos, Ciudad de México, Estado de México y Puebla.
Se busca integrar iniciativas y esfuerzos de TODOS los sectores, entendiendo que JUNTOS podemos CO-CREAR un panorama de reconstrucción inclusivo, que respete las culturas y cosmovisiones de las bioregiones y comunidades afectadas, e implementando principios de diseño permacultural con una atención integral de las necesidades de Nuestra Gente y Nuestra Tierra.
Nos enfocamos en respuestas a corto, mediano y largo plazo, focalizando esfuerzos y sumando a otros trabajos e iniciativas que ya se estén realizando, así como abriendo brigadas donde no se hayan organizado aún.
Los ejes donde nos concentramos son:
1- VIVIENDA EMERGENTE (Temporal) a corto plazo, como las yurtas por ejemplo.
2- VIVIENDA PERMANENTE mediano/largo plazo. Conllevan procesos de diagnóstico, consulta con la población, planeación y ejecución de la reconstrucción con esquemas y diseños más integrales. Queremos construir Eco-Comunidades, asentamientos humanos más sustentables con ecotecnias que permitan el aprovechamiento de los recursos lo mayor posible.
3- CENTROS COMUNITARIOS también con ecotecnias integradas, en las comunidades que lo deseen. Funcionarían como un espacio para la capacitación, para aprender bioconstrucción y compartir diversos talleres, habilidades y saberes de población local y cercanas. Funcionaría también como un espacio de refugio temporal y permanece a largo Plazo como un espacio público que fomente por sí mismo, la convivencia y compartir de la comunidad.
Se procurará investigar y trabajar con materiales naturales, de cada región, técnicas constructivas de bajo impacto, con la respectiva investigación que garanticen la calidad y resistencia estructural necesaria que sea segura ante posibles eventos similares. Trabajaremos con personas que quieran y acepten nuestra ayuda a quienes propondremos implementar ecotecnias básicas que pueden ayudarles a ahorrar recursos y servicios, entre otros posibles beneficios que procuren su calidad de vida e incluso ayuden a solucionar problemáticas en comunidades. Las personas además aprenderán participando en el proceso para convertirse en agentes de cambio en sus comunidades. Esta iniciativa de bio-reconstrucción conlleva también un proceso de capacitación y concientización social y ambiental.
ENGLISH:Civil society initiative that brings together individual and collective efforts of organizations, institutions, movements and people, aware of the post-disaster situation from the earthquakes that occurred in September 2017 and that affected many populations of the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Morelos, Mexico City, and Puebla.
It seeks to integrate initiatives and efforts of ALL sectors, understanding that TOGETHER we can CO-CREATE a panorama of inclusive reconstruction, that respects the cultures and worldviews of the bioregions and affected communities, and implementing principles of permaculture design with an integral attention to the needs of Our People and Our Earth.
The axes where we concentrate are:
1- EMERGING HOUSING (Temporary) in the short term, like yurts for example.
2- PERMANENT HOUSING medium / long term. They involve diagnostic processes, consultation with the population, planning and execution of the reconstruction with more comprehensive schemes and designs. We want to build Eco-Communities, more sustainable human settlements with ecotechnologies that allow the use of resources as much as possible.
3- COMMUNITY CENTERS also with integrated ecotechnologies, in the communities that wish it. They would function as a space for training, to learn natural building and share different workshops, skills and knowledge of local population. It would also function as a temporary refuge space and remains a long term as a public space that encourages coexistence and community sharing on its own.
We seek to investigate and work with natural materials, from each region, low-impact construction techniques, with the respective research that guarantees the necessary structural quality and resistance that is safe in the face of possible similar events. We work with people who want and accept our help to those who propose to implement basic ecotechnologies that can help them save resources and services, among other possible benefits that procure their quality of life and even help solve problems in communities. People also learn by participating in the process to become agents of change in their communities. This bio-reconstruction initiative also involves a process of training and social and environmental awareness.

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.
