TUTOR

Daniel Stocker es un músico suizo -contrabajista de jazz- afincado en Málaga que trabaja desde hace más de cinco años en diferentes fincas de Permacultura de la Axarquía. Su proyecto principal es Monte Alegre, donde ha diseñado el paisaje de retención de agua en una finca donde el río seco que la atraviesa creaba mucha erosión, y coordina los trabajos de permacultura aplicando su experiencia acumulada. El proyecto del bosque comestible de Monte Alegre cuenta con 4 años de antigüedad y más de 500 árboles plantados y regados solo con el agua que se recoge de la lluvia a través de estas técnicas!

Además, coordina varios proyectos de Permacultura por la zona y asesora a cada vez más personas, asociaciones y empresas interesadas en gestionar los recursos naturales de manera sostenible.

Su enfoque principal es la regeneración del suelo, incluyendo la reproducción de microorganismos autóctonos; el paisajismo de retención de agua -estudios que ha hecho en el biotopo de sanación de Tamera (Portugal)-; y, la reforestación, especializado en la creación de bosques de alimentos en zonas áridas.

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.

Eco-Learning Community Gaia from 11th September 2020 until June 2021

DETAILLED INFO ECO-LEARNING COMMUNITY GAIA FROM 11th September 2020 - June 2021

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.

PROPOSALS

PROPOSAL OF FOOD:
Possibility of including individual needs in the menu.
 
Vegan breakfast: oats or home-made sour dough bread made with rye flour and/or gluten-free bread + olive oil and/or avocado, tahini, etc. + a glass of home-made vegetable milk or sugar-free juice
