What we do

GAYA community of consciousness
We share a common core focus: to realize ourselves in full self-awareness to manifest a truly human society.
PRINCIPLES
• We integrete various levels of consciousness: physical, emotional, psychological, social, environmental, quantum, galactic and spiritual.
• The way of living facilitates individual and collective transformation in order to achieve a fully conscious humanity in harmony with the Earth.
• Individually there is a yearning for enquiry and inner realisation, a work of selfrecognition of the traumas, wounds, conditionings and masks of the ego/character.
• Collectively there is a renewal of habits and customs given by planetary socioenvironmental consciousness: conscious food and consumption; very low or zero industrial, chemical and electromagnetic pollution; very high capacity for selfmanagement, cooperation and resilience.
• Non-violent, sincere and honest communication, deep dialogue beyond egos, awareness of the power of language and silence; respect for the expression and needs of each individual, without fear of living and managing crises.
DISTINCTIVE FEATURES
• Solar culture: Sunlight and temperature guide and organize us on many levels, half the day is community time, the other half is personal time.
• Healthy and simple organic food, without fried foods, flour, refined sugars, etc.
• Great domestic care, maintaining the beauty and harmony of spaces.
• We minimize industrial waste: we don’t use tetrabriks, cans, very little plastic, etc.
• Low dependence on electricity, we do not use refrigerator, freezer, blender, etc.
• 5G-free space with little electromagnetic pollution.
• We are friends of all spiritual traditions and practices that help us to understand and integrate the polarities and to life in harmony.
