Aprendiendo a ver de Nuevo

Por Fritjof Capra y el Centro para Ecoalphabetizacion, Trucido por America Paz

Si deseamos vivir en un mundo diferente, tenemos que aprender a ver de nuevo. No podemos resolver los problemas sistémicos del mundo con el mismo pensamiento que los creó. Necesitamos cambiar nuestras percepciones y valores, nuestros paradigmas, a una nueva comprensión sobre la base de las reglas de los sistemas vivos.

Crear comunidades compatibles con los procesos de la naturaleza para una vida sustentable requiere conocimientos ecológicos básicos.

Necesitamos, dice el co-fundador del Centro de Ecocultura Fritjof Capra, enseñarle a nuestros hijos...

Green Building & the Permaculture Master Plan in Chile 

El Manzano sets out to build a campus of the great reskilling, implementing a permaculture master plan, and a summer of bioconstruction. So ends a cycle of change, and another cycle begins.

Since 2009 we have been working on the plans to make El Manzano a world class centre for sustainable education that equips people with the values, knowledge and skills needed to make the transition from an unsustainable growth culture to resilient human communities. As we begin to attract more and more visitors students and interns our facilities are often found to be lacking, and not of a quality befitting a green campus.

The Permaculture Research Institute has made a phenominal gift to the worldwide permaculture community; the facebook of permaculture. The database will give more exposure to the globl Permaculture project and our international network of actionists working for the transition. Craig Mackintosh of the PRI had this to say "We want to see people driving permaculture into the mainstream everywhere, and this system will be an important collection of tools to help bring this to pass — what some have termed a game changer."

The Third Skin, A Healthy Home

Improving and Refining our Knowledge

The construction of a new home for me and my family began in Ecoescuela El Manzano, September 28th we embarked on the adventure of eco-construction and bio-auto opening a door to the world of creating with his hands and effort, the physical structures we see. All learning in action, day by day we are improving and refining our knowledge. Concern prompts us to learn what we need, the effort is maintained by the reward of seeing the work progress, and the mood is maintained by the teamwork that is essential.

Investing in Transition Towns

The Instituto de Permacultura Chile held its final meeting for the year with our friends from Maiwe Ecovillage. El Manzano extends a heartfelt thanks to this team of pioneers in Chile; changing the world one mind at a time. 2009 has been a very busy year getting organised, and we have achieved many positive things!

In 2009 we formed a team, developed a shared vision, created a culture of working together, created public events and explored being in economy together, designed a website and logo, we mobilised a network, made many more small and large steps, sin prisa sin pausa. The team have defied the odds and deflected the criticisms, to maintain a positive and dynamic group experimenting with organisational structures and decision making processes.
