IK Balam Eco Aldea está ubicado a 15 kilómetros al oeste de Tulum, a sólo 11 minutos del pueblo de Tulum y a unos cuantos minutos más de las paradisiacas playas de Tuum, en un área de espectaculares cenotes ~ albercas naturales inundadas de refrescantes aguas cristalinas ~ que pueden ser explorados fácilmente desde la Eco Aldea.!
La Eco Aldea cuenta con 55 lotes de más de una hectárea que fungen como ejemplo de Viviendas Sustentables, puesto que quien adquiere un lote dentro de la Eco Aldea se convierte en guardián de la selva al preservar más de mil árboles en cada lote de una hectárea.!
!
Al 2014 se han construido más de una docena de casas ecológicas dentro de la Eco Aldea, siguiendo la premisa de construcciones sustentables de bajo impacto que incluyen baños ecológicos y sistemas solares alternativos.!

El proyecto cuenta con una hermosa área comunal de cuatro hectáreas que cuenta con una palapa inspirada en el Hunabku, el símbolo sagrado Maya que representa la unidad del todo. Este espacio es el escenario de encuentros comunitarios como mercados orgánicos, actividades para niños, yoga y eventos culturales.!

La Eco Aldea también cuenta con una Milpa, en donde se siembran productos orgánicos locales siguiendo métodos tradicionales Mayas.!

IK Balam Eco Aldea es una experiencia para aquellos llamados a vivir un estilo de vida sustentable en comunión armónica con la naturaleza que resulta el escenario perfecto para vivir nuestro más alto potencial.!

Los terrenos de una hectárea tienen un costo de $40,000 USD y son adquiridos por medio de Usufructo a través del Ejido Macario Gómez.!

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/

Two Homes Available in Cohousing Community - Indianola, WA

The Wise Acres Community is a cohousing neighborhood in Indianola, Washington. We currently have two openings: a 5-bedroom house and a 1-bedroom cottage. In Wise Acres, we gather for dinners, parties, and other events in our common house and tend a community garden together. We look out for each other, make decisions by consensus, and share the work of stewarding the land. One house available for rent has 4 bedrooms, plus a study that can be used as a bedroom. The kitchen and great room face east and south, with high windows that invite lots of natural light. The single-story home has a wood-burning stove in the living room and a whole-house A/C heat pump. Unfurnished. For photos and a floor plan of this house, click here. The other home available for rent is a 1 bedroom 650 sq ft cottage with skylight and a forest balcony. The tranquil, three-story house is suitable for those with good physical mobility. For photos, click here.

Professional Services

Free Training in Sociocratic Governance 🦋

I am a budding trainer of sociocracy and am looking for intentional communities to offer practice trainings to. Once I am a certified trainer of sociocracy, I will go on to meet the requirements of becoming a consultant- so implementation support could also be an option in the future for groups who want to adopt sociocracy as their governance model. If you’d like to learn more about me, you can view my communitarian resume. And, if you are interested in exploring the possibility of working together, please fill out this brief google form to explain who you are and what you’re hoping to get from these trainings. Blessings from the Pacific Northwest, Turtle Island. The land of the salmon, orca, and abundant clouds! 💧
