STEPPING FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE

LANDING IKI-GAIA ON THE GROUND

Closing contracts, last days to benefit from the 20% founder's discount bonus

IKI-GAIA SEED GROUP

It has been 15 months of great effort and full dedication since we made the call to find the guardians of the IKI-GAIA vision that has been 8 years in the making from our Association Semilla Monte Alegre.
To consolidate a group of pioneers with economic and emotional stability ready to take the step and continue with our monthly meetings and great common dream in the middel of this systemic crisis we are going through, has been an adventure full of learnings !

WE ALREADY WANT TO THANK YOU FROM THE HEART, for having approached and resonated with our proposal, even if you only formed part of our process in a meeting or a call.

Like everything in these moments, it can be overwhelming, but we feel that we have enough RESOURCES, CONFIDENCE, and enough economy gathered NOW!!! and above all, with a wonderful and sincronized IKI-GAIA SEED GROUP!!! Strong and determined to bet on co-creating this Healing Biotope in Malaga. An opportunity for our chikis and all generations where care for GAIA, life and relationships are back at the center.

LET'S GO FOR IT! WITH CONFIDENCE!!!

We want to start 2022 creating the foundations that encourage the entry and participation of more beings that are approaching and all those who want to join us to create our parallel reality in the near future. An opportunity for our kids and all the generations where the care of GAIA, of life and relationships will again be at the center.

For this, we would like to hear from you, to know what your current moment is, how you imagine your approach with us, and above all, what you can collaborate with it now if NOW IS YOUR MOMENT.
…every little grain adds up to the great CAUSE

UPCOMING MEETINGS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IKI-GAIA

We would like to invite you to an intimate online meeting and introduce you to the new models of participation that we have been fine-tuning this last month, detailing all the variables and casuistry that may arise, as well as the timeline of IKI-GAIA so that you can assess your involvement and project yourself in this great communal dream WHICH ALREADY HAS SOLID FOUNDATIONS.

We have 6 different types of contracts to welcome all the profiles and to guarantee your rights and your reimbursement in case you want to leave.

If you would like to know more we invite you to fill in our questionnaire to start the process.

ONLINE MEETINGS

 

Send us an  email to semilla@semillamontealegre.org and fill this questionarie if you can participate in any of the meetings so that we can send you the invitation link to the meeting or tell you more details about the meeting face-to-face (very limited vacancies!!).

We would be grateful if you could share with us how is your present moment, as well as your doubts and concerns so that we can answer them privately or in the meetings.

We invite you to read all the information we have published in the ecovillage section of our website to come with as much information as possible to our meeting. If you haven't read anything yet, you can start with this post.

LAST DAYS TO BENEFIT FROM THE 20% DISCOUNT AS FOUNDER OF IKI-GAIA

Just one step away from closing the purchase agreement, we remind you that if you confirm your participation as a collaborator or AME (aspiring stable member) of the project, you will benefit from a 20% discount on the established fees and you will enjoy all the advantages that IKI-GAIA founders acquire. Ask us for more information to find out about them.

HAVE A LOOK AT THE OPTIONS YOU HAVE TO ADD YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO IKI-GAIA AND COLLABORATE WITH THE FIRST PROJECTS OF THE BIOTOPE

We would like to use this internal communication to let you know that we are working on the launch of the first open crowdfunding to cover the minimum investments that the project needs in this Phase I to take off with force, and that we have calculated in 300,000 €: reforms of some infrastructures of the farmhouse that allow us to have larger communal rooms for the educational project and the Music Academy, tanks to store the water of the fountain, implementation of the food forest, earthworks to prepare the space where we will install the first caravans, etc.

From the IKI-GAIA motor group we feel that we can reach at least 225.000€ of the 300.000€ we need with your help. On the one hand, we would like that this first economic impulse that we need arrives blessed from this closest circle, with money coming from your hands. And on the other hand, we are aware that launching crowdfunding campaigns of more than 75.000€ are very difficult and there is a risk of having to return everything if it is not reached.

!!For us it would be wonderful to undertake the first investments with the economy gathered by our motor group and your trust before launching the more open campaign that we are preparing!!

To support us and/or take steps towards IKI-GAIA, you have the option to donate, or to contribute as a collaborator or lender of IKI-GAIA.

To make it easier for you to understand the options, we have created these simple cards that we invite you to take a look at here

Alternativas educativas en zonas rurales

We look forward to seeing you at this special event where you can learn about inspiring initiatives from Spain and South America that will confirm that your dream is possible.

Our Gaia Learning Community has been selected to share its experience in this international summit.  The return to the countryside is a process that, as we see, after the Pandemic is happening more consciously among large sectors of the population that yearn for a lifestyle more in harmony with their values, reconnection with Nature, peace and tranquility, and that, when we have children, we have considered more than once.

Many of us feel, as a result of becoming parents, that we have no choice but to be consistent with the lifestyle and values we want to instill in them.

Our children and great teachers help us to reconnect with the source and move mountains if necessary, to take the step. The union in this sense with initiatives and human beings in the same search that want to co-responsible for the education of their children and are aware of the role of referents that we have while we accompany them in this stage, is a guarantee of success and co-creation of the collective experience that we want to live and offer them.

Come and see how other initiatives are being organized

Un regalo para toda la vida!!

In this brief presentation you can see some impressions of our 3 years of journey covering educational and social needs of our children in tribe and community Gaia.

We are currently shaping an educational cooperative of mapadres (mothers and fathers) more focused on what we want with the intention of creating a free educational project that covers the entire period of compulsory schooling. In the great process of joining many of us to a holistic life project with a free school + ecovillage where we can share life projects in a place of our own.

 

¿Te resuena? ¿te animas a conocernos?

And you? will you join or move close to where the new educational project that is being developed these months will be located to start in 2023 in a space without limits to development, creativity and individual and group growth in a tribe of mutual support.

Can you support us with a donation?

GAIA Learning Community

Educational community at the service of children

Letting what is new to emerge

After 3 school years of experience promoting our pilot educational project Gaia through our association Semilla Monte Alegre, we feel we are in a moment of change and transformation. We can say that we are in a beautiful process of decomposition and rebirth, making a similarity with the patterns we observe in nature.

Our educational community that emerged to connect the tribe and grow into an ecovillage needs to grow into something bigger. A new form adapted to the new needs of our continium cambium that involves more participation and commitment of all parties involved in the educational community we dream of.

This coming Friday afternoon, October 17th, we will open a new space to listen to all the parties that want to get involved in the construction of the new educational project that is emerging with IKI-GAIA and that dreams of growing from an association to an educational cooperative and then to a tribe.

Would you like to support a free school based on the principles of Permaculture whose vision is to contribute to the development of the gifts and talents of all the participating parties, and especially of our kids?

IKI-GAIA Free School

Desarrollando los dones y talentos

Growing into a school of life

Our children are growing and more and more families are interested in joining us, giving it a try and participating in a project/school of life where we nurture the interdisciplinary and multicultural exchange of all generations in an environment of nature and mutual support in a tribe. It is for this reason, and because we have more than 8 years of journey working with pleasure to materialize this moment, that our project needs a new space where we can grow and expand the educational offer up to 16 years in a place of explosive and limitless nature!!!

We are now In this exciting process of acquiring the ideal land to develop a Healing Biotope, with a minimum of infrastructures that allow us from the first day to start the best little school in the world for our children.
This school year 2021/22 is a course of transition to the NEW, full of surprises, illusion, meeting of souls, common dreams and a beautiful TRIBE, where every BEING is invited to BE and co-create an educational community that aspires to set the roots for an educational cooperative very soon!!!

To give space for the new to emerge, we must accompany with love and care the cycle that ends , so that from this good soil many sprouts will emerge. Would you like to meet us?

KEY VALUES

Gaia School Introduction here;
More detailed information here)
The Gaia Education curriculum that we follow here in this Gaia School pilot project in Malaga is in line with the following key values:
  • honoring unity through diversity;
  • celebrating the diversity of cultures;
  • promoting social justice and environmental awareness;
  • empowering individuals and local actors;
  • increasing awareness and human potential;
  • respecting the living Earth as our planetary home.

 

 

 

 

PERMACULTURE GARDEN SPACE

Our educational project Gaia, as you will have heard us say more than once ;), puts a lot of emphasis on sustainability and food sovereignty; how we feed ourselves. That's why we have started a school garden in our Almayate space, so that ALL THE FAMILY can participate and learn how to regenerate the land, grow food and process it.
You are invited to participate with your children in the activities related to agro-ecology and sustainability that we have scheduled for Mondays
coordinated by the Swiss permacultor Daniel Stocker
(Spanish / English and German lessons).

THE FOOD IN GAIA PROJECT

As healthy, ecological and km 0 food is one of the pillars of the project, along with learning to share them, our educational proposal includes breakfast and lunch in the price.

Providing food from the project is designed, on the one hand, to cover the needs of children to eat from time to time and, secondly, the need to do so in a structured way from the project; avoiding waste, comparisons and cravings to see their friends eating different things.

The idea is that this daily habit forms part of a ritual-celebration of coming together, giving thanks for the food and sharing it with our friends.

The food will always be balanced, in terms of protein and carbohydrates, with an abundance of legumes, vegetables, sprouts, quinoa, millet and whole grains. In the preparation of the meals, no refined food will be used, -no refined flour or oil, no salt, etc.- nor will fried food be served or prepared with palm oil, sunflower oil, etc.

Menus for diabetics and gluten intolerance kids also possible.

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?

SCHOOL YEAR 2019/20

SCHOOL YEAR 2019/20

Dear families

We hope you are having a good autumn and life continues to bring you surprises.

We finally feel like communicating what's happening to us. After a couple of months of heavy "digestions" due to the news that we share below and search for creative solutions, we share with joy our Autumn program.

 

 

 

IN ALL ACTIVITIES ARE KIDS VERY WELLCOME

 

 

DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE GAIA ECO-LEARNING COMMUNITY OF LA AXARQUÍA.

Pilot project of the School for the sustainable development of the planet around an eco-village in south Spain.

First of all, we are sorry to inform you that the start of this 2nd course of the GAIA Eco-Learning Community will be delayed until November 4th due to unforeseen events and problems arising from real estate speculation on the Costa del Sol.

The space where we were going to move in mid-September 10 families and 2 companions to grow up in ecovillage, was sold a little more than 1 month ago behind our backs without respecting the rental agreement with option to buy 4 years agreed with the owner.

Imagine what moment we are in: total restructuring, lawyers, search for an optimal place to live several families around the school, and so on.

The good news is, that the GAIA school in Estonia has offered us to start with the GAIA homeschooling program approved in their country NOW -for children between the ages of 6 and 16- while we formalize the creation of a GAIA approved center in Spain, so this month we are with the enrollment understanding which are the needs of families to finalize the educational proposal. We appreciate that those interested contact us as soon as possible to plan together the proposal for mornings, extracurricular activities and family excursions.

 

GAIA ECO-SPACES

GAIA ECO-SPACES
While clarifying the ideal space to create a GAIA approved school/centre in Malaga and the eco-village around it, we have decided to make use of different ECO-SPACES where we collaborate as an association. An "Eco-space" is a space, it could be a centre, a farm or a project, where we find examples of Permaculture (ecological orchards, food forests, water retention, etc) and/or good practices related to social, economic-energy or environmental sustainability.

For the age group of 2 to 6 years we have the space of our child companion Tania, LA MANADA, in the Montes de Màlaga, and our farm in Almayate Alto. In addition we have the Vilago Hopi with 4 domes, theater and orchard near Velez-Malaga. You can see it in the photos. Other private properties are offered for activities.

For the group from 6 to 16 years old, besides Vilago Hopi of Velez and our space in Almayate, we have many proposals of spaces and private properties that open the doors to us to celebrate school days from Coin to Almuñecar. So, the idea is to start this 2nd year as "itinerant school" and continue with the methodological educational proposal GAIA- forest-school; counting on our 9-seater van and other vehicles of collaborators for the displacements.

We believe that in this way, our children will receive a very enriching education immersing themselves in different contexts of Permaculture, agroecology and healthy life.

If you are interested in knowing - or enriching with your skills - the educational proposal for this academic year 2019/20, form part of the tribal education group, offer your space for encounters or give us your time/support, or have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us by mail at rakel.ds@gmail.com or by telephone at 659 10 98 09.

Thank you for sharing with the tribe

In the next few weeks we will be selecting the primary companions and volunteers. Welcome also people interested in learning about the new GAIA methodology.

...we continue walking and looking for the best place to grow and develop. Because, GAIA, our PACHA MAMA deserves it and needs us now more than ever.

CROWDFUNDING FOR GAIA

CROWDFUNDING FOR GAIA

Hello Tribe

I hope your lives are full of happiness and your most profound dreams are coming true. Ours are at the point of coming true - “to start living in a Tribe- from the September!! There are still some apartments available so hurry up!

This summer we are preparing a crowdfunding campaign. We are editing a video that we are going to share next month in order  to advertise the project and to get contributions from people, associations and companies, related to our values ,​​that would like to contribute to this great common dream.

AIMS:

  1. get grants / sponsorships and offer at least 10 scholarships for this first year; since the La Caixa grant of 20,000 euros has been denied. We already have 1 scholarship. A friend    has offered us to sponsor a child for 10 months, so the fee for child with food included will go for 200 euros instead of 350 euros / month.
  2. Get PATRONS and donations through the “GOTEO” platform, Triodos, etc. for:
    1. lower the monthly fees and/or subsidize ecological canteen
    2. construction of the clasroom dome
  3. construction of a greenhouse for school
    1. And, most of all - to find Investors interested in     the project so that we would be able to buy the farm and develop the project in our own place

 

THE PROJECT NEEDS YOU

 

We need to establish this wonderful and so needed educational project in our OWN SPACE that  would allow us to grow and develop in order to develop and inspire our environment.

We want to promote the RURAL REPOPULATION and the replication of the model of coexistence project in the environment of  an educational space co-created by several families across the country. In the short-medium term, the vision is to obtain homologation also in Spain, and to help to replicate this model, to avoid the massive rural depopulation caused, among other factors, by the centralization of education and the absence of educational services in rural zones.

.

We want to help many other alternative educational projects that end up dying in the first 2 or 3 years of existence because of the lack of human and economic resources, and, above all, because of the legal situation of the alternative education in Spain.

Because of this reason, many parents of the children who turn 6, abandon projects like this, as they are afraid to continue with project without homologation.

We are urgently looking for investors who identify with  the project, and who want to support this model of sustainable holistic education and contribute to a real change in the current education system.

 

For more information, business plan, call us on 659109809

 

More information about educational project...

If you can make a contribution NOW !, before the official crowdfunding campaigns  of GOTEO start helping, we would really appreciate it.

 

With your help we could start paying the materials for the school, contracts,  lawyers and cover the other costs that are necessary to start a project in the new place.

Concept: donation Gaia

Or click on donate below to use your credit card!

If you are interested to be an investor of the eco educational project, please feel welcome- we really need you, and do not hesitate- tell us of how much you could help us and on what terms.

All help counts at this moment.

We also need a lot of hands and hearts for a project like this. We are open to receive volunteers for long and short term. For more information about the volunteer program please call us on 0034659109809

We are also looking for campers for the volunteers’ accommodation,  materials, yurts, non-permanent structures to create classroom dome and workshops for the school.

All the little pieces that would sum up for the project….

 

GUARANTEE of the refund of the investors. 

Given that the space has 10 apartments that are rented to families interested in actively participating in the Eco-learning community, the payment of monthly fees would be guaranteed, without this impeding the need to generate savings for the project itself through events, courses and festivals that we have planned for the next course.

 

TRIBU HEART

Let me share this text about TRIBE by Laura Posada -with some touches of mine- that reflect the heart of this project and inspired me to write this post and ask for your help.

"When we stopped being tribes, the unity split.

We believed that the couple, or the family nucleus, would be enough, while friendships and circles of belonging gave us the crumbs of ephemeral coexistence.

The tribe is much more than friends and blood brothers. The tribe is the spiritual belonging to a brotherhood that sustains and invites us to sustain.

The tribe is where natural roles are shared, exchanged and interacted. Mothers today mother alone without the containment and support group. The children have siblings who are always the same, the blood brothers. What about the spiritual brothers with whom they should be playing together, co-creating?

We separate into small private properties, running from one side to the other in search of sustenance for the family nucleus.

The natural thing is to group ourselves and, while some sow, others educate, others build, some cook, and at the right moment we gather to eat, to celebrate, to continue the tribe.

The love that we seek so much, besides the love for oneself that is cultivated, is not that of couple, children, family... Rather, having no tribe to practice love in infinite facets, we overload the idea that the couple, the children, and the family, will give us the ground to channel love.

Without tribe we are like a dismembered human body trying to function, each member separately.

We have to go back to the tribes where grandparents are dignified and you are all.

Trade, private property, and individualism ripped us off as branches of the trunk that unites us.

In the tribe all gifts are welcome, and roles, being rotational, do not create boredom or saturation. In the tribes there are so many brothers and sisters that sharing is very rich and models alternate.

Now we begin to use the term grow old among friends, and that is to appreciate the tribe.

We can start earlier, from YA and give our children a healthy environment where sharing is natural and where there are many references from whom to learn.

The tribe: It is to create love.
