RIE and let’s laugh and get tangled up

The great opportunity to get to know the 240 hectares of our Healing Biotope is approaching,
its key projects and part of the driving group.
In this 3-day open day we will host the summer multi-meeting of the Iberian Ecovillage Network (RIE) to continue weaving the network among the tribe.

After the event we will have 2 sociocracy courses: 1 basic level course of 3 full days starting on September 14th, and another advanced level course starting on Monday 19th (also 3 days).
If you are interested in participating, please write us! Places are very very limited!

 

? HERE & NOW at IKI-GAIA

In IKI-GAIA, since the purchase of the land has materialized last May of this year, we are at full capacity attending processes of removals and arrivals of pioneers, creation of structure and basic infrastructures that allow us to advance with the projects and gradually welcome the more than 60 people who are already part of the project and, of course, all those who are in the process of being accepted.

There are still places available for pioneers and settlers in IKI-GAIA! Here you can see the process of how approaching our project.

 

? ? 3-DAY OPEN DAYS ECOVILLAGE IKI-GAIA (SUMMER MULTI-MEETING)

Despite all the challenges we are facing at the beginning, we welcome the RIE meeting with great enthusiasm as part of our purpose and life journey to continue weaving the web of the emerging paradigm shift and, at the same time, to give the opportunity for all beings who feel called to co-create our Healing Biotope in Malaga to approach us and advance in the process of getting to know us. A Centre of Healing-Action guarded by a large and growing village of beings aligned with a common Dream of manifesting a new model of society.

If you want to know more about the program click here.

We invite those of you interested in seeing if this life project can be an option for you to read all the public information we have on the web and even to become sympathizing members of the promoting association so that we can send you detailed information about the ecovillage and our vision and proposal, and so that you come as informed as possible so that we can make the most of the time on both sides and move forward with details.

And if you really want to get to know us, come and collaborate ;)…. For the preparations of the RIE we still need some volunteer hands ideally with experience in carpentry, bio-construction, dry water construction, masonry, cooking for groups….

?? BABIES, CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS CHILLOUT AREA

Our project’s Rationale: our kids and teenagers and the next 7 generations !

Only they will be able to find the right solutions to the problems that we are facing!

For an ecovillage project to be socially sustainable and for there to be an intergenerational relay, motherhood, childhood and adolescents must be at the center and be the protagonists !!!

In IKI-GAIA all the adults are referents of the youngest and our Biotopo de Sana-Acción is carefully designed to close the cycle of life, from birth to death, with accompaniment and respect for each stage and individuality.

In this meeting we will offer a chillout area for babies and toddlers where mothers will be able to warm up food for their babies, breastfeed or simply rest and enjoy the space.

In addition, on Saturday we want to share with the tribe interested in our new educational project free-forest school IKI-GAIA and create spaces where we can exchange, inspire and nurture us on processes of parenting, motherhood, respectful education and all that is alive among the tribes that visit us. Write to us if you feel like contributing something!

WORKSHOP "INTRODUCTION TO GROUP FACILITATION".

Group facilitation is a set of skills, techniques and tools used to create the conditions for the successful development of group and personal processes. In this introductory workshop we will see the keys that can be observed and attended to in order to generate a healthy climate in groups.

WORKSHOP "THE TRANSITIONAL DICTIONARY: CREATIVITY AT THE SERVICE OF LANGUAGE".

The Transitionary is a dictionary in transition whose purpose is to create words that bring greater awareness and evolution to our lives. In this participatory workshop we will play through theatre to create a simple play after researching and inventing new terms.

Sobre Pablo

I finished my degree in journalism 20 years ago and worked in television for seven years. There I fulfilled one of my dreams: to travel to tell human stories. It was through the programme "Andaluces por el Mundo". Once this desire materialised, I felt the urge to change direction and so I started to travel with my camera on my shoulder to make documentaries. From the beaches of Thailand to the jungle of Indonesia, from the Brazilian mountains to the pre-Amazon jungle of Ecuador, from the temples of India to the base camp of Everest in Nepal. On these journeys I embarked on my greatest life adventure: personal development to get to know myself. This led me in 2013 to Group Facilitation and to delve deeper into the particular way we humans relate to each other and the conflicts that are generated through this interaction. Since then I accompany group processes and give trainings to improve communication between people. I am also passionate about transformation and the power of words. I develop this passion through my project El Transicionario on my YouTube channel. I also live in community in a project called Brilla Sirio in Ojén (Málaga) and I belong to a cooperative through which we run courses, workshops and trainings related to Group Facilitation.

Nicole Schindler

Nicole Schindler

Facilitator in Nonviolent Communication

For more awareness in our communication to build sustainable relationships

The way we communicate can open windows or build walls between people, according to Marshall Rosenberg, creator of Nonviolent Communication.
In this talk-workshop we invite you to become aware of our violent communication - judgements, comparing, "I have to" - and transform them into the language of life based on fundamental human needs.

Sobre Nicole

Committed to educational change and social transformation, my mission is to contribute to generate a healthy, connected and sustainable human culture with a powerful personal and emotional development tool such as Nonviolent Communication.
As a mother, I am motivated by the challenge of re-inventing the educational relationship with children from a place of respect and empathy, in order to promote mutual understanding and collaboration in families and schools.

FRANDS FRYDENDAL

Frands Frydendal

Activist in the Danish and European ecoadea network ...

Towards an integrated sociocracy

For many people it is sufficient to consider sociocracy as a system for organising a community, an NGO or a company, and a variant of it seems more than enough to cope with. However, sociocracy was created with bigger ambitions, and the issues that divide sociocracy into variants can divide a community as well, as a community has even more purposes than a company.

For communities it is useful to be aware of the different variants, as they present the questions and different points of view that divide the sociocracy into variants. It is also important to take steps to integrate and bridge differences and build a community that is more inclusive and able to sustain diversity.

Frands Frydendal's workshop at our EIR meeting will set out the full context, some of these difficult issues and the help that an inclusive approach to sociocracy can provide.

After the EIR Frands will offer a 3-day basic sociocracy course in our ecovillage from 14-16 September and an advanced level course from 19-21 September. If you are interested in participating please send us an email to semilla@semillamontealegre.org

Places are very limited!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The word "sociocracy" was invented in 1851 in the Age of Enlightenment for a future system of government for entire nations, in which reason should rule over all kinds of irrationality.

Endenburg's invention of the "Method of the Sociocratic Circle" (SCM) was an innovative novelty in that sense, even if it was only a pilot project for companies compared to the original vision of a sociocracy for nations. However, the SCM did not solve all the old and difficult organisational problems at once.

Moreover, as Endenburg's invention allowed for much faster processing than anything seen before, new and unforeseen problems arose.

This could not break the intrinsically healthy SCM; but it did lead to a certain division of sociocracy with at least these formalised variants: Holacracy, Sociocracy 3.0, Organic Organisation and SoFA (Sociocracy For All) - and a bunch of non-formal, often disconnected and unhealthy "Ant Sociocracies".

In the image on the left, they are all symbolised as green leaves of a flower, with a red bud, which has not yet unfolded its true purpose: A constitution for a just state.

About Frands

Born in 1956, with 3 children. Retired as a potter and physiotherapist.
Now activist in Danish and European ecovillage networks.
Certified Gaia trainer.
Main focus on processing tensions, what we disagree on, and agreements including a holistic approach to all issues that support this: Organisation, decision making, governance and conflict resolution on top with support from personal and group depth psychology, philosophy and culture.

Frands proposes an integrative sociocratic approach to governance, incorporating patterns from as many variants of sociocracy as necessary. He has studied 5 variants of sociocracy since 2011: SKM/SCM (Classic Dutch) - Holacracy - Sociocracy 3.0 - O2 (Organic Organisation) and SoFA (Sociocracy For All) at practitioner or trainer level. He has also studied Dragon Dreaming with John Croft, and likes to include or teach that.
