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…)

Instalación basada en Reggio Emilia.
Para todas las edades ( menos para los que les den miedo a la oscuridad). Entraremos en un mundo mágico de luces de colores. Juntoxs pintaremos un gran mural con pinturas florescentes y quién traiga algo para pintar puede pintar lo que quiera ( piedras, máscara, camiseta, estrellas, incluso en la cara si no eres alérgicx).
No te olvides de traer algo para pintar y también si tienes ropa florescente, traela ! Brillarás en la oscuridad!

Para todas las edades ( niñxs menores de 6 con ayuda de familiar)
Elaboración de este instrumento musical ancestral con cañas, antiguamente lo utilizaban en África para imitar sonidos de animales. Hoy en día se utiliza para carnaval también. Nosotrxs lo construiremos y cantaremos juntxs !

Se basa en la capacidad de aprendizaje del sistema nervioso y en la toma de conciencia del cuerpo en movimiento para descubrir nuevas opciones al movernos y adaptarnos mejor al entorno
en el que vivimos y trabajamos.

Al experimentar el movimiento a partir de la inmersión sensorial en el entorno la danza surge como experiencia del mundo en uno mismo,como una
manera de Ser en la transformación.

A veces te molesta lo que hace tu hijo?
Luego reaccionas molesto y ruidoso?
en tu corazón deseas que todo sea un poco más fácil?

Entonces estoy deseando verte en el taller el domingo. En 90 minutos quiero compartir con vosotros lo básico de la Comunicación No Violenta para que como madre/padre puedeis estar conectados con sus hijo incluso en momentos difíciles, trabajaremos juntos para averiguar cuáles son los pasos más importantes para una comunicación efectiva y una actitud compasiva, y haremos un ejercicio práctico que les ayudará a mantener la calma y a hablar desde el corazón.También aprenderás cómo es posible:
– ver y escuchar las necesidades de todos los miembros de la familia,
– trabajar en equipo,
– conseguir que se satisfagan las necesidades de everyone´s,
– para que todos se sientan bien y se mantengan conectados incluso en tiempos difíciles y confíen los unos en los otros.

Permacultorist, anthropologist, journalist, vegan cook, passionate about healthy food, sprouts and probiotics, and above all MAMÁ, is the initiator of the educational project ECO-COmUNIDAD de Aprendizaje GAIA; which moves next academic year 2019/20 to Cortijo Nidolea in Caleta de Vélez in its second year offering the possibility to 9 families to join the Gaia community project, participate more actively in the learning process of their children and facilitate the upbringing. After more than 10 years traveling and studying other ways of living, sharing, cooking, celebrating and being happy … in many corners of the planet, decided to return to the place where she was born, Malaga, to put her effort to create a sustainable living project and join the change.In the last 7 years she has dedicated herself to promoting Permaculture and healthy living through different activities and events, her main focus being the co-creation of an eco-village in the Axarquia of Malaga together with her partner Daniel and a large network of local, national and international friends, stakeholders and collaborators. 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.

• 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!

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

PERMACULTURE, SEED OF HOPE IN THE FACE OF A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS:

Water retention landscapes, edible forests, soil regeneration and microorganisms.

We live in a world of extremes: very strong winds, times of severe droughts and floods, polluted water and food with almost no nutrients. Every day mankind moves further away from nature.

Fortunately, more and more of us are looking for sustainable alternatives to live in a way that is more in line with our principles and more in harmony with our environment.

“All solutions can be found in the garden! (Geoff Lawton)

We can design a way out of this misery. We have already united knowledge in a holistic science: PERMAKULTUR.

Daniel Stocker is a Swiss musician – double bass player – living in Málaga, who has been working on various permaculture projects in the Axarquía for more than five years. His main project is Monte Alegre, where he designed the water retention landscape and coordinated the permaculture work with his accumulated experience. The Forest Garden Project Monte Alegre is 4 years old and has more than 500 plants that are only irrigated with collected rainwater! After several years of voluntary work in other projects and participation in permaculture workshops and seminars that fascinated him – such as the seminar on water retention landscapes in Tamera (Portugal) www.tamera.org- – he started to advise companies and private individuals. His main focus is on soil regeneration including the reproduction of native microorganisms, the creation of water retention landscapes, reforestation and the creation of forest gardens in dry zones.

We learn in a playful way, containing ourselves from within, through play, poses and breathing. We explore Yoga as a couple, Acroyoga, magical trips, gym, greetings to the natural elements with songs and music and much more.

Elisa Caballe is an artist and multifaceted craftswoman lover of the nature.

Magical Passes are the series of movements delivered from ancient shamans of Mexico and transformed into Tensegrity by Carlos Castaneda to unlock, move and balance stuck energy in our bodies. Tense and integration which is hidden in the movements creates strong, positive vibrations use to silence our mind, free our potential, strengthen our bodies, remove all the toxins and give us courage to live our lives full-on. Power of the silenced mind, opens the door to perceive with our Heart. Teaches us to listen to the guide inside, to the healer, the master. What will You tell Yourself?

Gram Russell on FaceBook

Do you sometimes bother what your child does?
Do you then react annoyed and loud?
In your heart you wish that everything would be a little easier?

Then I’m looking forward to see you in the workshop on Sunday.

In 90 minutes I want to share with you the basics of Nonviolent Communication so that as a mother / father you can stay connected to your child even in difficult moments.
We will work together to find out what are the most important steps for an effective communication and compassionate attitude, and we will do a hands-on exercise that will help you to stay calm and to speak from the heart.

You will also learn how it is possible:
– to see and hear the needs of all family members,
– to work together as a team,
– to get everyone´s needs met,
– for everyone to feel well
– to stay connected even in difficult times and trust each other.

Synergistic biodynamic farmer and founder of Plantaromed.
Dedicated to the recovery and cultivation of ancient peasant seeds, Alonsi is a passionate and great collector of auxiliary, medicinal, and culinary plants.
In the workshop “Sow your ancient seed”, the whole family will be able to participate in a master class on ancient seeds and take away some planted seeds. It is recommended to bring yogurt cups, flowerpots or small containers to sow, here we offer you the soil and the old seed.

Plantaromed is a synergic-biodynamic agriculture project” promoted by ALONSO NAVARRO, research farmer.

The farm where “el Viso de los Romeros” works is located in the Biosphere Reserve “Sierra de las Nieves”, between the towns of Alozaina and Yunquera (Málaga) where he started his activity almost 20 years ago with his partner.

The cultivation methods practiced on the farm have evolved from traditional to organic farming, to synergistic agriculture and finally to biodynamics. It has been, as Alonsi says, a natural progression, fruit of our passion for nature.

Alonsi’s project is developed with a deep research work with the soil, with seeds and plants, where we study how to create our own inputs, how certain plants can cure other plants and other people, or influence the properties of crops (aromas, flavour, nutrients, etc …).

A hip hop and contemporary dancer, Valentina has studied and taught contemporary dance in different countries around the world such as Nicaragua, Guatemala, New Zealand, Senegal, etc. where she has had the opportunity to discover different perceptions of the body and representations of the dances.

Lately she is studying contemporary African dance techniques, as well as laban technique.

The workshop proposed by Valentina for this festival is focused on body expression and is adapted for children/young people of all levels.

The idea is to teach you some exercises used in contemporary dance through play, and to create a small coegraphy.

A permaculture woman, anthropologist, journalist, passionate about vegan cooking and, above all, MAMÁ, is the initiator of the educational project ECOCOmUNIDAD GAIA which moves next academic year 2019/20 to Cortijo Nidolea in Caleta de Vélez in its second year of life.
After more than 10 years of studying and travelling for many years, she has been co-creating an ecovillage project – with her partner Daniel and a large network of local, national and international collaborators and interested people – in the Axarquia of Malaga where the care of the environment – ecological restoration, reforestation, land regeneration and water retention – and of people, as well as their interrelation, are the main protagonists.

With lots of play and fun we will discover the permacultural nutrition cicle of humans: Beginning with the Poop to compost, how seeds take up nutrition from it and absorbing the sun beams converting it to sugars sharing it with microoranisms and insects… till we eat a nutriens dense healthy fruit! And Poop again!
As the title obiously shows, this musical is made for our little ones.
It will be very participative with theatre, music and play.

Andrés and Daniel, two musicians and permaculturists will guide this adventure for childrens and parents.

Fares is a French natural health professional, singer and songwriter of singing circles.

During this tallet the artist invites us to create songs with as much spontaneity as possible, in a very simple way, in order to compose a music and make it evolve. All this, a capella.

The public will participate in this wonderful common creativity and will be filled with energy and joy. This will have a positive effect on salud?
