How to get to the FINCA LA SACRISTÍA

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.

CHARITY ECO-MARKET

There is very little left for the opening of the Mercado Singular of la Axarquía next November 15 in Restaurante Puerto Niza (Benajarafe). These markets will always be on Thursdays and will last all day -until 18:00h- so that the whole family and children can enjoy healthy organic food, music, storytelling and free activities after school.

This is a charity event to raise funds for the construction of a classroom for the new LEARNING COMMUNITY GAIA (for now between Torre del Mar and Almayate).

INFORMATION OF INTEREST FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING

Remember that the markets planned for November and December will not be cancelled due to bad weather or rain, as they offer us the celebration rooms of the restaurant to be warm.

The room is quite large, but as you are many interested stalls, will be reserved the meters in order of entry of the registration form and payment of the reservation.

Here I send you the link to fill in the registration form to participate in the market.

As for the areas, healing has its own private room and the number of stands is more limited, but there are still free spaces. Therapies, massages can be offered, and we will be able to make separations with screens and fabrics.
The other areas, children, organic food, handcrafted, second hand and antiques will be clearly delimited so as not to mix new products with second hand.

We have thousands of flyers to distribute. If anyone wants to collaborate in the promotion of the event and distribution of flyers please contact by phone at 659 10 98 09 to arrange delivery place.

If you know of a music group that is interested in playing and promoting itself and, at the same time, supporting the cause of the market, I thank you for passing on my contact.

Thank you for promoting this new market located in a luxurious place - with a large car park - and very strategic location for its proximity to Malaga and Torre del Mar. And, above all, great capacity to welcome both a large number of tourists, as well as all the people in the area that we like to do or visit markets, exchange products and support local producers and artisans.

SaLUZ and good food for everyone

GAIA SCHOOL PILOT PROJECT

The reception of our proposal has been very successful. In just a couple of weeks we created a network of 50 families interested in participating in this new school pilot project and since the first month we are working. In addition to Spanish families, there are many foreign families living in the Axarquía area who are very interested in giving their children a different education where the values of sustainability, community, respect, cooperation, solidarity and altruism are paramount. Some families have started to move close to the school and organize themselves to share cars with those who come from far away.

We started 4 WEEKS ago with a group of 8 children from 2 to 6 years of age in a ceded farm near Torre del Mar, 1 km from the sea and next to a "wild" mountain declared Phoenician heritage.
We are waiting for a couple of more families to register to start in November with the primary group from 6 to 9 years old.
By the way, we are looking for primary school companion with experience in forest school, permaculture, Education for Sustainable Development and/or living methodologies.

The curriculum of Gaia Education in which we are inspired for the development of our pilot school project in the Axarquia of Malaga is in accordance with its key values, which include:

respect the living Earth as our planetary home;
honor unity through diversity;
celebrate the diversity of cultures;
promote social justice and environmental awareness;
empower individuals and local actors;
increase awareness and human potential;

In this pdf (PROJECT GAIA SCHOOL AXARQUÍA) you can see more information about us and our proposal. In addition, you can read a summary about the International Association Gaia Education, and the first European Gaia school approved and subsidized https://gaiaeducation.org/face-to-face/estonia-the-unintentional-testbed-of-gaia-education-in-europe/. International organizations with which we are collaborating to create the first GAIA school in Spain, and the second in Europe!
Although the first 100% Gaia school, recognized and homologated by the government, is in Estonia, there are GAIA schools in Brazil (Gaia Escola), India (Siddharthvillage Kakariguma, Odisha), Thailand (Gaia Schools Asia), Hong Cong, Denmark, Mallorca and others. The Gaia Schools Network and the founders of the first 100% Gaia school are helping us this academic year 2018/19 to create an educational curriculum adapted to the Spanish regulations in order to achieve state homologation.
In short, we have a very interesting education proposal to start in Malaga, adapted to the new challenges we face as humanity and as a planet.
We would like to establish the headquarters of the first Spanish GAIA school approved in the Axarquía area and, if possible, count on your support/collaboration.
This year, in the space ceded in Torre del Mar we do not yet have a closed classroom facing winter and we are looking for formulas and funds to build a dome and / or close a space ceded for our children from 2 to 6 years can learn warm.

The month of October we continue with the adaptation of the children that we have to the space and to the companions.
You are all welcome to try it for free!

Starting this week, we also extend Thursdays to 3 days a week.

Extracurricular activities are still in the process of being studied, but we welcome all spontaneous proposals - even if they only last for one day - to try and share.

On Friday afternoons the activities and workshops are open to adults as well! Proposals are welcome to raise funds for the construction of a closed classroom for the escuelita 😉 and/or to close one of the 4 domes that have been offered to us near the school for rainy days or indoor classes. You can also donate to us 🙂

For the month of November we would like to start with this educational program that we send you, and depending on the number of children who enroll, the monthly fee will be higher or lower.
But, we say beforehand that we don't want to start an elitist project.
