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
