Co-creating Balanced Eco-Systems, where
Nature and Humans find their Natural Balance in connection with All the Universe …
- Permaculture – Principles
where we can have some natural structural support, with some plants climbing up the others, and be more stable, to resist better to wind and other weather conditions
- and yet others , used to give more nutrients, acting as Living Fertilizers
where we just help the Nature to find again its natural balance,
and this way , we can get a prosperous Eco-System, with minimum effort . . .
contributing for the co-creation of a beautiful harmonious world …
in a way they create Cooperative Relationships between them, we can create several Eco-Systems, in what is called as Forest Garden (or Food Forest) where , after a while, nature finds its Natural balance, among All the Trees, bushes, and lower vegetation, and all the animals, and naturally, everything starts blossoming and producing fruits and food in abundance, with minimum need for human intervention, and this way , contributing for the co-creation of a beautiful,
prosperous and harmonious world …
- Planting a Tree –
and at the same time, contributing to the Biodiversity in Mother Earth
(and Naturalmente, Mother Earth - Gaia, are very thankful ...
and, who knows, soon you can be collecting the fruits of what you planted ...
Our Vision is to be 100% Self Sustainable,
Focusing in producing most of what we need,
and reducing consumption of what is not possible to produce locally,
In a balanced exchange trade
- and balanced energy trade
such as: some food, money, materials, and other forms of energy...
so, in order to keep the flow of Harmony,and to have a balanced energetic trade ,
we suggest each person proposes what he/she considers to be a fair energy trade:
Whether in the physical or energetical form, such as helping in the daily tasks,
making handicraft / hand made products, or art creations, that can be sold / traded in the local market
sharing knowledge and experience (e.g. proposing workshops / practices that promote the expansion of consciousness / Union with All-That-Is,
and together we can organize events, retreats, workshops, where everyone can share what he/she knows, and helping each other to evolve, and expanding our consciousness ...
and, of course, monetary contributions are very welcome (we visualize ourselves completely Self-Sustainable, but while we are in direction into that goal,
meanwhile we still use money, So, Donations are very welcome…
And, we are Deeply Thankful for your Contribution
infinite Gratitude Blessings
Community Living
We have long forgotten, how it was to live this way, So now, we are gradually remembering, and finding ways how we all can Live together in harmony…
Here we share some ideas for harmonious community Living:
“ Community is a way of life which leads us to the experience of Unity. There was a time on Earth when people lived in tribes. All indigenous peoples have had a connection with all living beings. They knew that the planet is interconnected, that what happens at one point that concerns everyone. They were stewards of the Earth. Today we have to reinvent the tribe or community. A group of people forms a community if they have a common goal and when their relationships with each other are based on trust. Trust among people, especially between men and women, trust in the nature, trust in creation. In a milieu of trust, we can again meet truthfully and tell each other what we like in the other and what not.
In a community we can take back the power which we have so far submitted to an anonymous society. We can take our concerns into our own hands and build a material basis of life that cooperates with nature and its beings. Community includes all beings, even water. Birth, sickness and death are part of life, and being so are also the part of the community. When one experiences true security and home, the inner steering impulses of anger, hatred and violence release from the system. A future culture of peace emerges from a network of autonomous, decentralized communities.
Community is a whole, which only works as well as its individual parts work toward cooperation with one another and toward serving the whole. It is a deep desire of the human being to belong to the whole again. In a trust-based community, every person develops their own unique gifts for the benefit of all. Communities are the human breeding ground for a humane society. A future culture of peace emerges from a network of autonomous, decentralized communities. “
Natural Leadership
As
it happens in nature, most of the communities that strive,
have some kind of natural leadership structure.
In an evolutionary
sense, a good leader inspires others to keep motivated
for supporting a common goal, like creating a life together, and face its
natural challenges,
motivating every member to keep connected and in tune,
aligned with the focus on a common purpose
Also, a good leader
inspires every member to be also a leader,
responsible for an area of the project that most resonates with him/her,
like a master that teaches others to
find the mastery within
so in a evolutionary
leadership structure,
everyone can be a leader of the tasks and responsibilities one chooses to take,
making their best, inspired, knowing we are contributing for a co-creation of a
better world,
contributing for a life together that feels great.
So everyone feels empowered, by being a important part of the collective
harmony
Examples of delegating
leadership and responsibility could be for example
one being responsible for the permaculture garden,
and coordinate the making of a garden bed
where his/her experience is put in practice and everyone can learn with it.
Also similar natural
leadership and learnings can happen
with one coordinating a natural construction,
one coordinating the preparation of a
common meal,
or organizing / focalizing an event or
workshop
So we can have holons –
areas of coordination with its leaders responsible,
and then a core team that coordinates all areas in harmony.
(and everyone is a potential member of the core team,
when everyone feels that member to be in tune with the vision and principles
that hold the community together.
– Possibility of coordinating and
leading project areas
When people stay longer, it’s possible to have some areas of responsibility and become coordinators/leaders of those areas, according to their skills and talents (with some degree of decision capability on those areas.
So,
anyone can choose to organize or lead a project (task or mission),
or join an already existing project (according to your skills and motivations),
- to be your focus / mission, and to be responsible for ( together with your team),
taking care of that mission, from the beginning to the complete manifestation
(for example, one can focalize or co-organize a workshop or event, coordinate a construction or garden bed, or someone responsible to coordinate a common meal, etc…
and ideally we could live by doing what we love, following our passion, for example organizing events or workshops where we can share our experience or knowledge, and if there are people interested, and willing to contribute for that with a fair energy trade, we can life in a sustainable way and doing what we love.
So, do you have any skills
/ experience in the area of self sufficiency, permaculture,
natural construction, workshops and
events organizing, etc?
- Any knowledge and
experience that you're willing to share
or project that you would like to support in Naturalmente ?
- making a water based landscapes ( Lakes, plants / trees, water channels)
- food forest garden
- natural bee hives (example in the multimedia gallery)
- communal spaces for living and for activities
(sharing what you know - your skills and experience
Decision making in Naturalmente
Naturalmente on this moment is using a consent based decision making,
which
means when joining, everyone gives their consent with what is already
existing, related to the principles and decision making.
So,
although we make our best efforts to always reach solutions where
everyone agrees, occasionally in some situations, when it’s being
difficult to reach consent agreements, and for a decision that serves
the best for all the people involved in the project, according and
respecting the Principles and Vision,
the Core Team or the Founders may have in those cases, the final decision.
always taking in consideration all perspectives,
and with the highest purpose for serving the best for all the people involved...
And
eventually everyone has the possibility to become a member of the core
team, where one can have an important role and influence in important
decisions that may affect all the project.
Some ideas for the
harmonious Living in Community
to mention it during a circle, and to do it if you can.
