LIVING IN COMMUNITY


  • The community is self runned and everybody is responsible for what is happening.
  • We share the common spaces (kitchen, dormitories, common maloca…) and any thing that the land offers us.
  • We share the abundance of the earth in 2 vegetarian meals daily, making a food cirle with the family.
  • We share the daily tasks, divided during a daily circle.

There is always something to do: cultivate and clean the fields, clean and organise the common spaces, bring woods and water, filter the water, check the fire, cook and any thing you fell necessary to be done.



               
 


  • Everybody is invited to offer workshops and the workshops depend on what everybody is willing to offer.
  • Sharing creates abundance

The community lives and grows thanks to the collaboration and contribution of everybody.
 

We create together abundance for the community.
 

The magic hat gathers the loving donations.



 
  • We use the circle to communicate, share the visions and ideas, organise ourselves, take decisions and resolve conflicts.  



During the circles, we are all on the same level, and a part of the same family.
We use the talking stick circling from hand to hand. We respect and listen in silence to each other. This is a good way to express ourselves and to be listened.
We can all call for a circle if we feel it necessary, to share our words from the heart.
 

All the decisions are taken by consensus (between the permanent members)


Some practical advises :


THE EARTH OUR BODY

We take care of nature using only natural products.
We use as less as possible non biodegradable products. When we go to the city, we carry on the inorganic rubbishes (papers, plastics, metals…) that cannot be used and cannot be recycled or reused.


We have a compost place for the organic substance and we use it as natural manures. We also have a recycling space for the inorganic things.





We use compost toilets, using dust instead of water, and where the faeces are stocked to be used for planting as organic substance after the decomposition.











WATER MY BLOOD


We have a beautiful creek.
We wash our clothes far from the river.
We only use organic and biodegradable products (soaps, lemon, ashes…), away from the river.


We filter the water from the river to drink.




AIR MY BREATH

The air is our words. We express ourselves with love and respect.
We maintain healthy thoughts.

« That my words are impeccable »


We respect the air of everyone.
We use sacred tobacco and medicinal plants in a special place.

FIRE MY SPIRIT

We cook our foods with firewood.

The central fire and the kitchen fire are sacred, and we feed them with dry wood.


The ashes, after being sifted, are used for hygiene, to wash the plates, the clothes and natural antiseptic.
