Permaculture Slow Tours

PERMACULTURE SCHOOL SEMILLA MONTE ALEGRE

For the whole family

A day at a very inspiring permaculture farm full of unforgettable surprises for big, small and medium. Depending on the group (more beginners, professionals of the sector, with majority of adolescents or children) more or less demonstrative practices will be made, and, the theoretical explanatory part, will be more or less technical.

Good for the environment

This route of "slow tourism" with small groups and in a rural environment of the Axarquia of Malaga, is designed to generate the minimum impact between the community of people who inhabit it, and the Nature around which they are hosted. In addition, all the food and gifts offered to the visitor are organically produced, vegan and as local and seasonal as possible.

Educational and environmental awareness tour

Seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and feeling why certain practices collaborate to take care of the planet, while we take care of people, will be an unforgettable sensory experience that will help us understand why we have reached the state of declared climate emergency and reflect on what we can do to reverse the situation in our daily lives; at home, school, work, holidays, etc.

SENSORY JOURNEY

"Learning with the 7 senses about Permaculture and its advantages for humans, their environment, and the next 7 generations", is a sensory journey that immerses the visitor in an integral life project; an invitation to co-create a better future.

"Eco-Experience on an Inspiring Sustainable Permaculture Farm", is without a doubt, a very inspiring educational route that will captivate and make us reflect on the simple solutions that we can implement in our daily lives - at home, at work or on the farm - to live more in tune with Nature; contributing, at the same time, to do our bit to reverse the state of climatic emergency and minimize our ecological footprint.

Through the explanation and vision of different regenerative practices -compost, edible forests, etc.-, techniques of water retention in the landscape -Swales- and recycling of grey water, the visitor will develop the 7th sense, -the capacity to recognize which practices and actions are in our hands and contribute to a better world; besides receiving a holistic formation in the world of Permaculture and sustainability.

ROUTE OVERVIEW

After a brief introduction about the educational day and the place that hosts it, the guide, a renowned Swiss permacultor and musician based in the Axarquia, will offer several tours/sessions that will introduce the visitor to the world of Permaculture and holistic design through the viewing of the different areas of Permaculture, water retention techniques in landscapes; creation of compost, etc.

The highlight of the day will undoubtedly be to share the impressions/reflections of the inspiring experience by tasting a vegetarian-vegan lunch with seasonal organic produce grown largely on the farm.

IMPRESSIONS OF PERMACULTURE TOURS FROM LAST YEAR

[embed-google-photos-album link="https://photos.app.goo.gl/6z1xNmfahQ7Tx4Cv9"]

ITINERARY

After a dynamic welcome and introduction of the Permaculture day in the upper part of the farm, - enjoying the wonderful views of the Sierra de Tejeda and Almijara and the sea - we will go down to the kitchen area to get to know the history and the owners of the place.

We will start the immersion tour by recognizing the different "Permaculture zones" as a game; as well as some "Water Retention" techniques that help the aquifer to regenerate, while avoiding erosion.

Afterwards, we will taste some products from the farm while enjoying a drink. Depending on the season, we will try roasted acorns, fig bread, smoothies with Aloe Vera and Moringa, products derived from almonds and olives, etc.

We will continue to walk down the paths of the farm to the Yoga centre and discover different techniques for creating compost to regenerate life in the soil. We will pass through magical corners with edible forests where we will try wild and cultivated plants, bushes and fruits that feed the senses and nourish the human being and biodiversity.

In the Yoga Center we will do a small group dynamic to enter the theme of Bioconstruction. We will explain how this Center was built, its wonderful rocket stove, as well as other spaces on the farm with sustainable materials.

The morning's educational day will culminate with a visit to the farm's greenhouse where the visitor will be able to recognize samples of fast-growing, pioneering tree and plant seedlings with minimal water requirements that are ideal for reforestation and nitrogen fixation in the soil. And, depending on the season, we will make a practice of sowing seedlings, pioneer or fruit trees etc.

At 14:00h it is time to share impressions around an original vegan lunch full of km 0 flavours, smells and colours of the season.

To finish, the visitor will receive a small gift along with the educational material of the day and it will be the moment, for those who wish, to acquire home made products from the farm.

FEBRUARY'S PROMO GAIA SLOW-TOUR

Next Friday 14th of January we will visit a singular place of the Axarquia of Malaga in the surroundings of Periana near the mountains of Alhama - 1500 m- and Enmedio -1416 m.

During the visit, we will drink from pure water springs, eat nuts and pick up walnut seedlings, harvest wild plants and fruits and visit charming and historical villages of 1 inhabitant that are in the process of being depopulated.

After an energetic breakfast, we will get to know some very old cortijos and haciendas in the sierra where hundreds of sheep graze in a forest of basophilic oaks, gall oaks, oaks, musks, hawthorns, and bushes such as kermes oak and piornal.

Between the Sierra de Alhama and the Sierra de Gallo-Vilo we will go up winding on the road that goes up to Alfarnate to visit one of the most attractive places of its territory: the Puerto del Sol.

To end the day, we will have a picnic lunch at around 13:300h near the highest point and take an unforgettable walk around the sunny terraces near Puerto del Sol where hundreds of mountain goats, wild boars, rabbits, hares, foxes, etc. come down to drink from a natural spring every day. Spectacular sunny viewpoint protected from the north face by the mountains, from where you can see all of Axarquia and its spectacular Sierra de Tejeda and Almijara, Africa and the beyond...

On the way back, descending from the Sierra, we will visit one of the few remaining spas with sulphurous waters in the peninsula. These famous Baños de Vilo, came to be considered in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as one of the most important in Andalusia due to the important medicinal properties of its waters.

From the hamlet of Vilo to that of La Muela, we will pass through the nucleus of Guaro where the gentle slopes are covered with olive trees, pastures and cereals, and, where water is available, we will see varieties of fruit trees (especially peach trees) that are increasing as the orchards approach the banks of the river where orange and lemon trees abound, making this area one of the most productive.

29.02.2020 INTIMATE MEETING OF THE ECO-VILLAGE PROJECT

INTIMATE MEETING OF THE ECO-VILLAGE PROJECT

February 29th from 10:30h

Buenas familias soñadoras ?

First of all, I wish you a wonderful start to February, the decade and year 2020 of dream manifestations.

We have started the year with great clarity by reviewing visions, dreams and… all the lands we have researched this last decade for the Eco Village project in Axarquia with the Gaia School and Socio-cultural and Healing Center as the focus! And, well, I would like to share with you that this last year has opened up a couple of very interesting new possibilities…

The project of Escuelita GAIA has been taken up again after Christmas in our space in Almayate and we are at full capacity, growing as an Eco-community of Learning.

We are also looking for a bigger space for the next school year so that we can include more families in the project!

We have several real proposals to start the “big” project very soon, if everything keeps flowing. Some proposals are smaller, and others are bigger that could include more people and dreams.

We would like to invite you on Saturday, February 29th from 10:30h – until 18:00h in our space in Almayate to an intimate day to tell you how we are and how we would like to collaborate and support each other to fulfill dreams.

We feel ready to take the step and buy/rent with option to buy – depending on the case – and, above all, to commit ourselves.
It will depend on how many of you are prepared to manifest your dream this year or next year with us, who will choose one or the other. The strength, human and economic resources that are generated with a small group is not the same as with a large one.

Call us at 659 10 98 09 or send us an email to confirm attendance, know the details of the day and send you the location.

✨✨… unique transformative opportunity in southern Spain to develop your emotional intelligence, acquire powerful tools to connect with yourself and others, integrate keys to conflict resolution, and create a world where the needs of all count. ??????

 

EL RENACER DE LA MADRE GAIA

 

Our Gaia educational project began to take shape more than a year and a half ago when we started with the family meetings.

It has been a very very long pregnancy, with several attempts to give birth that didn’t finish blooming; apparently GAIA was premature, that’s why the space we wanted to buy, Nidolea, didn’t come out.
…Now, after several months of hard work and adaptations to the unforeseen events that occurred in August with the other space 1 month before we moved in, our baby GAIA is now mature and has decided to be born in our home in Almayate. Luckily, the mango farm where we live has more than 2 hectares , already had several small wooden houses, etc.. ideal for a small educational project ;

Thanks to the families that continue to believe in GAIA and make the effort to also start contributing economically so that the project takes shape and try to be sustainable economically also!

We are happy to start small and very very grateful for all the contributions and learning we have experienced so far in this TRIP?

PROGRAMA DETALLADO

Una Introducción a la agricultura ecológica sinergica biodinamica con las plantas medicinales con Alonsi

Y presentación del tercer cuaderno de campo. Plantaromed
por Alonso Navarro Chaves..

 

Agricultor sinergica biodinamico y fundador de Plantaromed.
Dedicado a la recuperación y al cultivo de semillas campesinas antiguas, Alonsi es un apasionado y gran coleccionista de plantas auxiliares, medicinales, y culinarias.
En el Taller “Siembra tu semilla antigua”, toda la familia podrá participar de una clase magistral sobre las semillas antiguas y llevarse algunas semillas plantadas. Se recomienda traer vasitos de yogurt, macetitas o recipiente pequeños para sembrar, aquí te ofrecemos la tierra y la semilla antigua.

Plantaromed es un proyecto de agricultura sinérgico-biodinámica” impulsado por ALONSO NAVARRO, agricultor investigador.

La finca donde trabaja “el Viso de los Romeros” está situada en la Reserva de la Biosfera “Sierra de las Nieves”, entre las localidades de Alozaina y Yunquera (Málaga) donde desde hace casi 20 años inició con su compañera su actividad.

Los métodos de cultivo que practican en la finca han ido evolucionando a partir de la agricultura tradicional a la ecológica, a la agricultura sinérgica y, finalmente a la biodinámica. Ha sido, como cuenta Alonsi, una progresión natural, fruto de nuestra pasión por la naturaleza.

El proyecto de Alonsi se desarrolla con un profundo trabajo de investigación con la tierra, con las semillas y las plantas, donde estudiamos como crear nuestros propios insumos, cómo ciertas plantas pueden curar a otras plantas y a otras personas, o influir en las propiedades de los cultivos (aromas, sabor, nutrientes, etc…)

TALLER: Yoga y Meditación con Javier

En las clases de Yoga y Meditación utilizamos técnicas de concentración, movimiento, posturas (asanas), respiración, vibración y visualizaciones para alinear nuestra realidad física, emocional y mental.

Principalmente hacemos ejercicios de Hatha Yoga y Kundalini Yoga, siempre adaptados a todos los niveles.

Durante la relajación podrás disfrutar de frecuencias y sonidos que inducen a un estado de tranquilidad, reparación y conexión profunda.

Al final de la clase normalmente haremos una pequeña meditación. A veces utilizamos técnicas de psicología u otras disciplinas para ser más conscientes de nuestras emociones y cómo nos influyen en el cuerpo, lo cual tiene un impacto positivo en nuestra vida diaria.

Para venir a las clases de Yoga no es necesario haber practicado antes, lo importante es la actitud de aprender y mejorar.

Sólo tienes que traer ropa cómoda.

An optimal space in Nature for personal and group growth and intercultural, multidisciplinary and intergenerational exchange, where the care of the environment – ecological restoration, reforestation, land regeneration – and of people, as well as their symbiotic interrelation, are the great protagonists.

SPEECH: The new water paradigm

  • The water cycle
  • The history of water mismanagement in cities and in the countryside
  • How to repair the water cycle

Daniel Stocker is a Swiss musician -jazz bass player- based in Malaga who has been working for more than five years in different Permaculture farms in the Axarquia. His main project is Monte Alegre, where he has designed the landscape of water retention on a farm where the dry river that crosses it created a lot of erosion, and coordinates the permaculture work applying his accumulated experience. The Monte Alegre edible forest project is 4 years old and has more than 500 trees planted and irrigated only with the water collected from the rain through these techniques!

TALLER Musical: Mi Caca

Con mucho juego y diversión descubriremos el ciclo de nutrición permacultural de los humanos: Comenzando con la caca para hacer compost, cómo las semillas se alimentan de ella y cómo absorben los rayos del sol convirtiéndola en azúcares y compartiéndola con microoranismos e insectos…. ¡hasta que comemos una fruta sana y densa en nutrientes!…
¡Y hacer caga otra vez!

Como el título obviamente muestra, este musical está hecho para nuestros pequeños, será muy participativo con teatro, música y juego.

Daniel, músico y Permacultor, guiará esta aventura para niños y padres.

 

 

Balance of the event last March 31st

Despite the rich rain that accompanied us all morning, about 200 people came to the festival to enjoy the space, the activities for the whole family and, above all, to eat the vegetarian delicacies and vegan tortillas that we had prepared and on the way to know each other!

It was a wonderful day with many familys in an eco-village atmosphere with small squares, small streets and a lot of nature, where, without a doubt, the protagonists were children from 0 to 14 years old. It was hard for the parents to convince the children to go home with them…

Of course, we had prepared the space that will be the eco-school from September with different environments for games, readings, arts and crafts, and the children were very amused.

In the squares of the cortijo Nidolea we enjoyed musical peformance, painting and free play. In the big tent of the event and one of the houses of the cortijo the workshops of contemporary dance, circular song, circular dance, and the talks on Permaculture, Nonviolent Communication and on the educational project Gaia were carried out. This last talk was attended by many new families interested in knowing about the infant and primary education project -which begins in September in this space-, and even in coming to live in the Eco-Aldea Gaia Nidolea to become part of this Eco-Learning community.

After the beautiful event, 8 apartments were reserved for families interested in becoming an active part of the project and we have started with the selection of children and families who will be able to participate next year in the Gaia eco-school. Limited places!

Since the last event was not a success, since we had food prepared for around 400 people and hardly any donations were collected, we decided to repeat it on a sunny day with many more visitors. We look forward to seeing you next Saturday, May 4th at our Gaia (Mother Earth) Spring Festival.

It opens the period for submission of proposals for workshops and artists, as well as to reserve stalls for sale of handicrafts, ecological and second hand. Hurry this time, limited stalls! More information on 659 10 98 09 or at semilla@semillamontealegre.org
