One more abandoned hamlet. 22 00:09:22,330 --> 00:09:25,760 They came to visit and they fell in love for the place. 23 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,010 Then it came the process of contacting the hamlet owners. 24 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:35,150 They explained what they wanted to do here and it sounded great to them 25 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:39,550 Because they already had proposals to make rural tourism. 26 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,500 But for them this would be like to destroy their memories. 27 00:09:45,530 --> 00:09:49,800 So, our idea was to raise again the hamlet. 28 00:09:49,850 --> 00:09:57,300 like we are actually doing.

Well, I'm a very spontaneous person, 68 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:32,800 and where I was living, the entire neighborhood knew me and I used to talk with everyone 69 00:13:32,830 --> 00:13:36,450 and I told everyone about the project that I was creating here. 70 00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:40,300 And of course, they manifested their questions and fears. 71 00:13:40,450 --> 00:13:50,450 For them it was like stop having good conditions and comfort in my life. 72 00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:59,200 And what I used to say was: I'm going to the montain, 73 00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:02,800 to have my freedom, to work for me, 74 00:14:02,830 --> 00:14:06,300 to give health and freedom to my kids... 75 00:14:06,330 --> 00:14:09,300 Connect myself again with Nature. 76 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:13,250 What I'm living at the city is: The stressing routine 77 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,300 of making money to pay the bills. 78 00:14:16,330 --> 00:14:23,300 And sometimes I had no money left at the last week of the month. 79 00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:29,900 So I used to ask them: "don't you think, that here at the city 80 00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:36,300 with all the stress and routine of making money to pay the house, the car, the fuel... 81 00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:41,600 We live in the city to make money to pay the bills. 82 00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:47,350 Because being at the city is like a living circle of making money, to keep yourself there. 83 00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:53,950 You spend one year expecting those fifteen-day vacation 84 00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:57,300 and those 15 days aren't actually 15 days of vacations. 85 00:14:57,330 --> 00:15:00,300 Because you already know you only got 15 days, 86 00:15:00,330 --> 00:15:04,750 that you realize you won't enjoy of all this in 15 days. 87 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,620 So it's kind of dying slowly. 88 00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:08,980 Working all day, no time for family, 89 00:15:08,990 --> 00:15:12,790 Everybody used to tell me: โ€œWe have no time for our childrenโ€. 90 00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:16,500 This is the first time that I'm raising a child. I have three kids 91 00:15:16,530 --> 00:15:20,270 And the other two were living at my house 92 00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:23,300 but I was with them just for a short time at breakfast, 93 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,540 I'd take them to school, and I'd only be with them again at night. 94 00:15:26,570 --> 00:15:30,510 On the weekend too, but that's when you have the housekeeping tasks 95 00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:33,110 and you're so tired because of the week's looping 96 00:15:33,130 --> 00:15:37,780 that most of the time you have no energy to play with your kids. 97 00:15:37,820 --> 00:15:44,790 So I realized that who has raised my kids were the institutions, like school, 98 00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:48,860 and other people. My mother, who helped me a lot 99 00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:51,960 and their babysitter. 100 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:57,540 So, now I have the privilege, the incredible privilege and gratitude 101 00:15:57,870 --> 00:16:00,310 and that's why i decided to have another kid 102 00:16:00,310 --> 00:16:02,310 to raise a child. 103 00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:05,580 And now I know what is like to be a mother in full time. 104 00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:11,150 Being able to breastfeed. He's 10 months old and being able to breastfeed so many time... 105 00:16:11,180 --> 00:16:14,950 It's so good. it's priceless, you know? 106 00:16:14,950 --> 00:16:19,860 This is possible when you believe in life, in the Universe 107 00:16:19,890 --> 00:16:26,800 and you say, "I want to live like this" then, follow that path, you know? 108 00:16:26,830 --> 00:16:31,140 So that's what we did. We all believe that it's possible to live like that. 109 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,610 In general we're all free spirit 110 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,910 We don't want rules but in my opinion rules are needed 111 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:46,590 so things have an organized line. 112 00:16:46,990 --> 00:16:50,890 So we are learning from our own mistakes. 113 00:16:51,490 --> 00:16:56,930 This is something that we're building on. By a trial and error process 114 00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:03,940 The group is forming itself. As habitants we are 16 adults and 9 kids. 115 00:17:03,970 --> 00:17:06,040 Two of them have already born here. 116 00:17:06,070 --> 00:17:09,510 For more than 20 years that no children was born in Cabrum. 117 00:17:09,540 --> 00:17:12,010 It was a very interesting experience. 118 00:17:13,010 --> 00:17:16,480 So we also want to prove to ourselves and the world 119 00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:21,720 that it is possible to live without the Money God. 120 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,490 We truly believe in this, but of course we can't achieve anything without working, 121 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:34,100 so we are here for 2 years now, and we have worked a lot. 122 00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:37,800 It's also a hard emotional work. 123 00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:43,910 Because when you live in community you're living with people and Egos. 124 00:17:43,910 --> 00:17:47,780 So for this reason, there's a very powerful and emotional work to do... 125 00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:50,180 Which is a very enriching experience 126 00:17:50,350 --> 00:17:52,350 I'm in the process of being myself. 127 00:17:53,650 --> 00:17:57,490 Free from prejudice, free from blockages, free from fear, 128 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,060 free from insecurities, free from disbeliefs... 129 00:18:00,090 --> 00:18:03,700 So I'm working my self-confidence, 130 00:18:03,730 --> 00:18:08,530 the love for myself, my own truth... 131 00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:15,810 and this is the process of going deep into my roots. 132 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,010 And the deeper you get, the higher you'll go at your expansion. 133 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,890 This is today's message. To love yourself... 134 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,320 It starts from the inside. Like meditation. 135 00:18:30,490 --> 00:18:32,490 Go inside, search for your truth, 136 00:18:34,290 --> 00:18:40,500 put your shadows out. Your fears, insecurities... everything! 137 00:18:40,530 --> 00:18:46,100 Look at them. Love them. Work them. And turn yourself into a free being. 138 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,210 Because we live in a multidimensional world. Everything is possible. 139 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,380 You create your own reality. 140 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,780 So, if you create your own reality, 141 00:18:54,810 --> 00:18:57,480 What is that everyone wants? To be happy! 142 00:18:57,550 --> 00:19:02,890 So, your way, with your own truth, be happy intensely every day. 143 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,160 And... 144 00:19:08,990 --> 00:19:13,000 Be yourself aware of not hurting what is around you. 145 00:19:13,030 --> 00:19:20,110 It's the opposite. Be yourself, so you can amplify the best of each one around you. 146 00:19:20,210 --> 00:19:22,110 And this is my challenge. 147 00:21:06,810 --> 00:21:14,190 Now everything is clear, you know? Now she is like following me every step. 148 00:21:20,490 --> 00:21:23,830 Now she should trot after me. She should do anything that I do. 149 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,480 - Grapes! - Grapes! Grapes! 150 00:23:32,490 --> 00:23:36,490 Is it good? Give me one. 151 00:23:49,510 --> 00:23:50,510 Thank you. 152 00:23:52,010 --> 00:23:55,980 Did you eat ice cream? Your mouth is full of chocolate. 153 00:24:18,340 --> 00:24:24,040 We truly believe that when Man was living this way, was so much happier. 154 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,510 So much accomplished. 155 00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:29,580 Because what we really want is Love! We want to love. Loving is healing. 156 00:24:29,650 --> 00:24:33,790 So, we want to love and to understand the other. Because we are the โ€œotherโ€. 157 00:24:33,850 --> 00:24:36,290 We are all one! We are all connected! 158 00:24:36,290 --> 00:24:43,060 So, if we understand that, we'll know that it's not worth it to compete or to compare. 159 00:24:44,030 --> 00:24:49,500 And that is a big lesson that you learn here. 160 00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:52,800 In my opinion here is when I work more on compassion. 161 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:58,210 For me, compassion is the respect for time and each one's purpose. 162 00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:05,480 It's acceptance. To accept everyone as they are, 163 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,990 and if something affects me I must do my process inside of me. 164 00:25:09,020 --> 00:25:11,490 Why is that affecting me? Why am I feeling angry? 165 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,360 Why am I frustrated? Why can't I even look at him today? 166 00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:19,830 So this is a great gift. This is my experience here. 167 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:22,570 For a year, this was a very intense experience. 168 00:25:22,570 --> 00:25:24,570 Emotionally it was.... 169 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,310 I thought a lot about "what am I doing here?". 170 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,580 But as I'm someone that dives into challenges and never gives up 171 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:42,290 even if I'm in suffer or whatever it comes emotionally 172 00:25:43,290 --> 00:25:46,190 I'm still saying, that is the biggest gift. 173 00:25:47,490 --> 00:25:51,230 It's your very own process. If you really want to evolve, 174 00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:57,500 You truly know that the only way is Love. It gets increasingly clear 175 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,510 and the only way is also your inner work. Because you can't change anyone. 176 00:26:01,540 --> 00:26:06,740 Each one has it's own process and you don't know each one's purpose. 177 00:26:06,740 --> 00:26:10,580 You only know that, the person is reflecting what you need to work inside. 178 00:26:10,620 --> 00:26:12,580 So, for me living in community... 179 00:26:14,490 --> 00:26:16,120 is... 180 00:26:16,790 --> 00:26:18,490 it's to know yourself better. 181 00:26:18,490 --> 00:26:23,590 It's to understand what is the inner work you need to do, so you can be at peace. 182 00:26:23,630 --> 00:26:25,700 About my children's choices... 183 00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:32,700 I would like not to enter on conflicts between generations. 184 00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:37,110 I believe that we came here to experience. 185 00:26:38,210 --> 00:26:41,480 For example, my daughter wants to go back to the city 186 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:42,980 and live with her father. 187 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,780 Ok, I was like... 188 00:26:46,220 --> 00:26:47,620 Now that I'm here at the mountain 189 00:26:47,690 --> 00:26:51,260 I want to share this with her, she wants to move to the city... 190 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:57,360 But I also want to be able to separate what I want 191 00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,800 and what I think that it's better for them. 192 00:27:00,830 --> 00:27:06,800 And to observe what is really important for them. 193 00:27:07,810 --> 00:27:13,010 So... I don't want to be an extremist. I want to be free. 194 00:27:13,010 --> 00:27:16,680 Like I want to be free, I want to give that freedom to my children. 195 00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:23,890 And just like I made some bad choices in the past... And those mistakes are a way of learning 196 00:27:23,890 --> 00:27:25,890 I want to give them that freedom too. 197 00:27:26,690 --> 00:27:27,960 It's like... 198 00:27:28,490 --> 00:27:31,260 It's don't projecting my fears on my children 199 00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:35,030 So they won't need to work those fears afterwards 200 00:27:35,030 --> 00:27:37,940 It's like, "don't climb that tree because you'll fall off" 201 00:27:37,970 --> 00:27:44,640 It should be like "ok, if you want to climb it, I will teach you how to do it with safety". 202 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,050 So, this is what I'm trying to do with my children. 203 00:27:49,850 --> 00:27:52,480 My younger daughter, that is 4 years old now 204 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,190 wants to do homeschooling. 205 00:27:58,490 --> 00:28:03,190 And I think that I'm able to give her that orientation until the 4th grade. 206 00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:12,700 and her father has the same opinion about school. 207 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,540 Now we needed to know if this extraordinary way of life, 208 00:35:27,570 --> 00:35:30,010 could be only be practiced at the countryside isolation 209 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,010 by a small number of individuals, strangers from each other until their relationships. 210 00:35:33,010 --> 00:35:36,580 Or, on the other hand, will the self-sustainable method be sustained 211 00:35:36,610 --> 00:35:39,280 in a completely different environment more typical of XXI century. 212 00:35:39,350 --> 00:35:43,150 And it is precisely for this reason that we are strangely in Barcelona. 213 00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:45,390 Precisely in the center of a large urban center! 214 00:35:45,420 --> 00:35:49,990 Where all the conditions seems now, dear viewers, totally adverse. 215 00:35:50,590 --> 00:35:53,500 Cooperativa Integral Catalana is the result 216 00:35:53,530 --> 00:35:57,330 of many years trying to change the rules. 217 00:35:57,330 --> 00:36:03,010 Rules in what people do not see a possibility for change 218 00:36:03,010 --> 00:36:08,180 That through struggling, people gets harmed. Confrontations generate violence. 219 00:36:08,210 --> 00:36:14,450 So, we thought that maybe, the smartest thing to do is to build. 220 00:36:14,490 --> 00:36:15,950 To build an alternative. 221 00:36:17,150 --> 00:36:20,190 An alternative that is legal. 222 00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:23,960 So, what we do is to search which law 223 00:36:24,090 --> 00:36:28,000 will allow us to be apart of the system, so we can start to work. 224 00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:32,850 Our goal is to create a cooperative public system. 225 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,000 In other words 226 00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:43,500 That the union of people, working on different tasks can cover everyone's basic needs 227 00:36:43,550 --> 00:36:46,500 - Like housing, feeding, health care and education - 228 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,000 that this can be done without economic barriers. 229 00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:55,600 Not because of paying you can have those things 230 00:36:55,700 --> 00:37:01,100 But, in a public way, with everyone's cooperation, we can create a system 231 00:37:01,130 --> 00:37:04,650 in which, no one is exempt by not having money. 232 00:37:05,050 --> 00:37:09,750 Aurea Social is like the heart 233 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,100 where we had the opportunity of placing the different commissions. 234 00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:21,900 The economics management commission, that is responsible for the working partners. 235 00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:27,200 A legal entity that protects the workers, 236 00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:32,200 so they can collaborate with each other, to offer services and products between them 237 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:40,300 without having to allocate 20 or 25% of their earnings to maintain a State, 238 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,400 that might spend that money on war or religion issues. 239 00:37:44,430 --> 00:37:45,700 with which they disagree. 240 00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:52,000 It's also a place where people interested on an holistic health care can gather. 241 00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:56,450 Not a centralized healthcare, focused in individual organisms. 242 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,500 Where people can come if interested in education. Free education. 243 00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:08,000 Not a dogmatic education, but an education that educates citizens instead of workers. 244 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,900 In the educational department we are doing many tasks. 245 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:23,000 Currently we got a big challenge. We are working on teen's monitoring group. 246 00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:28,400 We distribute the tasks for the whole week. 247 00:38:28,450 --> 00:38:34,000 For example, if one wants to learn about informatics, we have people to teach about it. 248 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,500 If he wants to learn permaculture he goes to another project... 249 00:38:38,530 --> 00:38:40,950 If he wants do art crafts he comes here... 250 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,000 And this is a project that we are working on for almost 2 years 251 00:38:45,050 --> 00:38:50,550 and now finally we started it so it's a big conquer for the Education Commission 252 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,000 Well, but how much you get paid at the cooperative? 253 00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:56,450 With how many Euros you survive with? 254 00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:59,400 I would say, Euros themselves worth nothing to me. 255 00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:03,900 If I can exchange 5 Euros for food, it has value. 256 00:39:03,930 --> 00:39:06,000 But if I can't they worth nothing 257 00:39:06,150 --> 00:39:07,250 What do we thought? 258 00:39:07,450 --> 00:39:11,800 What do we need? to eat, a house, being alright with each other... 259 00:39:11,830 --> 00:39:13,700 Do we need Euros? No. 260 00:39:14,850 --> 00:39:17,500 Can we exchange things? No 261 00:39:17,530 --> 00:39:20,300 because maybe you don't have something that I need 262 00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:22,700 but you still need my services. 263 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,010 So, as History shows us a coin is very useful. 264 00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:29,300 We don't want a coin that we don't know where it comes from. 265 00:39:29,330 --> 00:39:35,550 With euros people buy and sell guns or other offensive activities. 266 00:39:35,900 --> 00:39:37,670 What have we done? We created our own coin. 267 00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:43,450 The ECO is a social coin. The coin we use at the cooperative. 268 00:39:43,500 --> 00:39:49,390 It works through a virtual platform called CES "Community Exchange System" 269 00:39:49,450 --> 00:39:54,600 which we have improved doing our own version with free software. 270 00:39:55,200 --> 00:40:01,060 And what this coin does, is to spread and link exchanges between people 271 00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:02,500 without using money. 272 00:40:02,530 --> 00:40:06,300 The CES (Community Exchange System) is a page created in South รfrica. 273 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,550 It makes the exchange of goods and services easier 274 00:40:10,750 --> 00:40:16,200 through an account, similar to any traditional bank account 275 00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:20,080 where you have your number, your balance 276 00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:22,000 and it's totally transparent. 277 00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:25,330 Here for example I'm checking this service: Computer repairing. 278 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,100 Let's imagine that we have a closed-source system like Windows. 279 00:40:29,150 --> 00:40:33,630 And we want to swift for an open-source system like Linux 280 00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:35,400 We can chat with this person 281 00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:40,500 and the price would be set according the service. 282 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:46,100 We have to talk with him, and here is his contact. We can also click the name 283 00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:50,010 and as I said it's totally transparent. 284 00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:54,210 We know this person decided to show that lives in Barcelona. 285 00:40:54,250 --> 00:41:00,700 We are in Barcelona too. So we could meet him to talk about it. 286 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,250 We can see when he created his account 287 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:09,650 And we can see what he offers, what he's looking for and his purchase and sales history. 288 00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:16,800 We believe this is the best way of interacting with people we don't know yet. 289 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,180 And what we are really looking for is some good or service. 290 00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:25,400 But, it's when you get to know the person that the community bonds are created 291 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,150 It's an non-speculative economy. 292 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,190 Because money is created by people, when they do the exchange. 293 00:41:32,350 --> 00:41:35,300 If you sell me a peace of bread for 3 Ecos 294 00:41:35,350 --> 00:41:38,200 I'll buy it. You would take those 3 Ecos from my account 295 00:41:38,250 --> 00:41:41,250 and I would have - 3 Ecos and you would have + 3 Ecos. 296 00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:46,800 So, this generates a local based economy 297 00:41:46,830 --> 00:41:51,150 because we made an exchange by our proximity. 298 00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:55,000 And with this proximity, the product or service tends to be of a better quality 299 00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:59,610 because there is no company between us or taxes to agravate it. 300 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:07,300 It will promote an exchange economy and not a capitalist based economy. 301 00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:12,700 Because If I want something you have but I have nothing that you need, 302 00:42:12,730 --> 00:42:15,900 You can use my payment to get something else from other person. 303 00:42:15,930 --> 00:42:18,470 So, it's advantageous to local relations 304 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,200 It's a coin based in trust. 305 00:42:21,230 --> 00:42:30,410 I mean, you can have your account with a negative balance 306 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,370 and this doesn't mean debt. 307 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,600 Because at some time you can offer something 308 00:42:34,630 --> 00:42:36,650 to balance those negative numbers. 309 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,200 This economy is zero-sum. 310 00:42:39,230 --> 00:42:41,400 If you make a sum of everyone's balance 311 00:42:41,430 --> 00:42:42,650 the result will be Zero. 312 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,150 There are some limits for negative numbers. 313 00:42:46,180 --> 00:42:52,900 It depends if you are spending for collective or individual using. 314 00:42:53,100 --> 00:42:56,100 But it's around 50 or 100 Ecos. 315 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,000 Anyway, if you will exchange with a person 316 00:42:59,030 --> 00:43:02,500 that you see that has a huge negative numbers 317 00:43:02,530 --> 00:43:03,940 you are free to trust or not. 318 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:10,520 This is also... what we call "voluntary simplicity". 319 00:43:11,500 --> 00:43:14,300 I mean, It's to realize what we really need. 320 00:43:14,350 --> 00:43:18,800 And personally, day after day I need less Euros in my life... 321 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000 And increasingly I feel that I have more. 322 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,800 The cooperative public healthcare system where we are working on 323 00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:30,000 It's a non-capitalist alternative system 324 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:35,000 And we see that the current public health system fails at many levels. 325 00:43:35,150 --> 00:43:39,200 And it's not an holistic system 326 00:43:39,230 --> 00:43:43,800 because it treats separately the body parts from emotions 327 00:43:44,300 --> 00:43:51,550 And we think that this must be connected in one way or another. 328 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,000 We are aware that there are situations we can't fix. 329 00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:01,700 For example, if an accident happens we can't supply it. 330 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,300 We are 6 people working at this health department. 331 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:14,400 And each therapist follows the same values as the Cooperative. 332 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,900 We charge with our social currency at least some percentage. 333 00:44:19,100 --> 00:44:21,300 And not being the same external market prices, 334 00:44:21,350 --> 00:44:27,950 but different ones, accepting exchanges and following a coherence as the cooperative. 335 00:44:28,750 --> 00:44:32,650 Maybe our proposal, although it looks wonderful to us 336 00:44:32,900 --> 00:44:37,970 maybe it's not the happiest option for the majority. 337 00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:43,600 Let me explain, everyone could live with the minimum 338 00:44:43,630 --> 00:44:45,150 from a material point of view 339 00:44:45,300 --> 00:44:47,700 and with the maximum from a freedom point of view. 340 00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:53,000 But there are people who aren't satisfied with this. 341 00:44:53,050 --> 00:44:56,250 Their satisfaction is about what they consider luxury. 342 00:44:56,450 --> 00:45:03,550 It would be luxury cars, a great house, vacations... 343 00:45:03,900 --> 00:45:09,300 So... we don't choose to tell someone 344 00:45:09,350 --> 00:45:11,550 this is the best way of living. 345 00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:13,950 But we sure choose to show them. 346 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,950 And to show many people as possible 347 00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:20,400 that maybe luxury is to have your own time. 348 00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:25,270 Maybe luxury is to lie down with a quiet conscience. 349 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,820 Aware that you didn't took advantage of cheap labor somewhere else 350 00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:34,250 to get a benefit here... 351 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,800 A practical way so people can see how real this is 352 00:45:39,950 --> 00:45:44,700 it's for example that the food we eat it's paid with our social coin. 353 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,000 We talk with each farmer and we establish a high percentage of Ecos. 354 00:45:50,030 --> 00:45:52,400 Although there's a percentage of the payment in Euros 355 00:45:52,430 --> 00:45:59,630 because at the moment we can't get diesel or some other tools with Ecos. 356 00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:05,330 So, there's a part we pay with Ecos and how does it work? 357 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,830 The producers bring the products here, 358 00:46:08,860 --> 00:46:11,800 we make a balance, then we pay. 359 00:46:11,830 --> 00:46:14,080 Until now we had no problem with this. 360 00:46:14,930 --> 00:46:16,350 And this is the solution 361 00:46:16,380 --> 00:46:21,100 for what many people asks us: "Living in the city is not very sustainable, right?" 362 00:46:21,150 --> 00:46:24,220 But, at the city is where you can find more people. 363 00:46:24,250 --> 00:46:28,790 So, it's easier to promote this lifestyle. 364 00:46:28,820 --> 00:46:31,930 At the beginning of this year the cooperative decided 365 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:39,240 that the provision of meals would be 100% on Ecos. 366 00:46:39,270 --> 00:46:42,140 Even though we pay part of it in Euros. 367 00:46:42,170 --> 00:46:47,210 In order to give it value to start a circle of trust. 368 00:46:48,310 --> 00:46:52,320 So, originally this coin was created as an alternative 369 00:46:52,350 --> 00:46:55,890 since we are in a capitalist society. 370 00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:01,920 But we hope it goes further and increasingly used 371 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,530 to achieve the moment when we can drop the euro. 372 00:47:05,630 --> 00:47:11,030 I'd like to say that what we are doing here 373 00:47:11,070 --> 00:47:13,240 can be done anywhere in the world. 374 00:47:13,270 --> 00:47:18,040 Actually it's all about self-management and communication. 375 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:23,310 We are working on the integral revolution that will come soon 376 00:47:23,350 --> 00:47:30,320 and the more we are at this networks the better we will build this world. 377 00:47:30,350 --> 00:47:34,320 Today and for tomorrow. Thanks! 378 00:47:39,830 --> 00:47:42,930 We are back to Portugal. We had to talk with Rui Vasques. 379 00:47:43,030 --> 00:47:45,130 Not for being a 20 grade student on his master's degree. 380 00:47:45,740 --> 00:47:48,340 Not for it being adaptable globally. 381 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,870 Not for being the best student of Industrial Production Design from his time. 382 00:47:51,970 --> 00:47:54,710 Not for believing in self sustainability as an emergency... 383 00:47:54,710 --> 00:47:57,610 Neither for being only 26 years old and being enterprising at this and that. 384 00:47:57,650 --> 00:47:59,620 But for all of this reasons and a couple more. 385 00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:03,320 I'm Rui Vasques, I'm a 26 years old designer 386 00:48:03,350 --> 00:48:06,690 and I chose the sustainability path. 387 00:48:06,790 --> 00:48:13,030 When I did my master's thesis, โ€œEco-Village Communityโ€ project 388 00:48:13,260 --> 00:48:17,800 I approached topics like the current problems in the world, 389 00:48:17,830 --> 00:48:22,840 also neuroscience issues, to understand how the Man works... 390 00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:28,310 I approached ecologic topics to understand how the world functions like a super organism. 391 00:48:28,810 --> 00:48:34,320 And other subjects like sustainable constructions, life in communities... 392 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:41,090 I tried to discover many subjects way ahead of the design project range 393 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,060 which was about sustainable buildings. 394 00:48:43,090 --> 00:48:47,130 And my mind started to open so I realized that 395 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,670 I could follow another path at my job 396 00:48:50,700 --> 00:48:57,170 and not only to design products like a regular designer 397 00:48:57,210 --> 00:49:02,310 but instead, create more sustainable and permacultural design. 398 00:49:02,350 --> 00:49:05,610 Thinking about the natural elements, people's relationships... 399 00:49:05,650 --> 00:49:08,480 Well, to enhance all that knowledge. 400 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,620 So, the project came out which was my master's thesis 401 00:49:12,690 --> 00:49:20,330 because during my research, a personal revolt popped up 402 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:26,940 and I wanted to take the tools I had, the talent and creativity 403 00:49:26,970 --> 00:49:35,680 in order to create a visually appealing solution and functionally perfect 404 00:49:35,710 --> 00:49:41,320 to show people a new vision and a new way to live on Earth. 405 00:49:41,580 --> 00:49:46,320 I tried to apply in that eco-village the solutions I found and which are already used, 406 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,820 like super adobe constructions 407 00:49:47,860 --> 00:49:56,800 which is the construction with earth bags, clay and barbwire. 408 00:49:56,870 --> 00:49:58,800 I tried to apply renewable energies 409 00:49:58,830 --> 00:50:03,270 which are increasingly investigated and more efficient. 410 00:50:03,340 --> 00:50:06,310 I tried to apply composting systems... 411 00:50:06,340 --> 00:50:09,910 I tried to close the most cycles I could inside that space 412 00:50:09,950 --> 00:50:13,920 to show that solutions are there but they are not being used. 413 00:50:13,950 --> 00:50:17,150 And today it's urgent to deepen them. 414 00:50:17,220 --> 00:50:20,090 In that way I created that circular model. 415 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:25,730 It's circular because I was inspired by other projects. 416 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,370 So I opted for creating a mandala shape to inspire people more 417 00:50:29,370 --> 00:50:33,270 and to show that it's possible to create something optimized from zero 418 00:50:33,340 --> 00:50:36,310 where all points are at the same distance from the center; 419 00:50:36,340 --> 00:50:39,910 all the infrastructures would be easier to build 420 00:50:39,910 --> 00:50:41,910 because it obeys just to one standard; 421 00:50:41,910 --> 00:50:45,680 it would be easier to expand it by adding modules; 422 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:53,020 So the center would be for the community and growing it in layers for other functions. 423 00:50:53,420 --> 00:50:59,030 So I created a space with this new perspective of future 424 00:50:59,060 --> 00:51:03,830 with everything what people need to be happy and to have good quality of life. 425 00:51:04,070 --> 00:51:07,800 This project has some inspiration from The Venus Project 426 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:13,510 developed by Jacques Fresco, a thinker and social engineer 427 00:51:13,540 --> 00:51:17,310 a lot of years ago, like 50 or 60 years... He has more than 90 years. 428 00:51:17,380 --> 00:51:20,320 He always supported the idea that humanity should follow a path 429 00:51:20,350 --> 00:51:25,420 where the structures and the appropriation of space would be thought before 430 00:51:25,450 --> 00:51:31,330 respecting the resources from the place in a sustainability long term. 431 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:36,130 We can create self-sufficient social models based on 3 principles: 432 00:51:36,170 --> 00:51:40,270 Local construction, which is used by the super adobe technique 433 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,170 and which can be built anywhere in the world with local earth 434 00:51:44,210 --> 00:51:46,180 or even with tire adding 435 00:51:49,010 --> 00:51:50,910 Local production of resources... 436 00:51:50,950 --> 00:51:53,820 from the biological agriculture, to the profitable use of water, 437 00:51:53,850 --> 00:52:00,520 energy and local raw materials; 438 00:52:00,590 --> 00:52:03,860 And the third principle is the energy self-sufficiency 439 00:52:03,890 --> 00:52:09,060 to do not depend on other places energy 440 00:52:09,130 --> 00:52:14,540 These 3 principles united I call it a "Smart Village". 441 00:52:14,570 --> 00:52:19,480 It's the concept i've been deepen, because it hasn't been studied much 442 00:52:21,110 --> 00:52:28,920 The goal is to alert and to aware for the mentality change. 443 00:52:28,980 --> 00:52:31,620 To show people that there are other ways and options 444 00:52:31,650 --> 00:52:35,620 that the world is not like it was taught as kids 445 00:52:35,660 --> 00:52:38,930 and it's possible to create our own future, resources, energy... 446 00:52:39,330 --> 00:52:47,340 As not every land and region have all the necessary resources 447 00:52:47,370 --> 00:52:49,340 so all of this can happen, 448 00:52:49,370 --> 00:52:56,710 I leaned for permaculture design. 449 00:52:56,750 --> 00:53:07,620 It is to know how to deeply observe a place at least for one year, 450 00:53:07,660 --> 00:53:14,560 studying the cycles of the sun, winds, water, slopes, raw materials, earth... 451 00:53:14,630 --> 00:53:20,570 Then we try to understand what is missing, what can we do with what we have 452 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:27,310 and how can we enhance what already exists. 453 00:53:27,340 --> 00:53:33,050 With synergy and permaculture techniques. 454 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:37,320 The successful permaculturist is that one living relaxed 455 00:53:37,350 --> 00:53:40,820 with his system working without much worries 456 00:53:40,860 --> 00:53:44,730 because he created a cycle that works with synergies and ecosystems 457 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,960 that regulates it self and he just goes there to reap the rewards. 458 00:53:48,260 --> 00:53:53,840 For me, the next step is to explore new economic systems, 459 00:53:53,870 --> 00:53:58,870 new models of making group decision like sociocracy, 460 00:53:58,910 --> 00:54:02,410 And also new group communication alternatives 461 00:54:02,710 --> 00:54:09,320 and there are already tools that have been studied around the world 462 00:54:10,090 --> 00:54:12,990 for alternative systems. 463 00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:19,430 Systems with less money where trust and cooperation are the bases 464 00:54:19,460 --> 00:54:22,230 where people can make exchanges of products and services 465 00:54:22,230 --> 00:54:29,070 or even using new local currencies in order to replace 466 00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:33,510 what traps us everyday which is money. 467 00:54:33,710 --> 00:54:39,420 For me, money is the biggest illusion of all because it was foisted upon us 468 00:54:39,450 --> 00:54:42,380 and now the whole world lives with money bases. 469 00:54:42,420 --> 00:54:44,590 In my opinion it was an excellent tool once 470 00:54:44,620 --> 00:54:49,120 when it appeared it was excellent It was always good for humans. 471 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:54,560 Until some hundreds of years ago, that it has been manipulated and virtualized 472 00:54:54,630 --> 00:55:00,470 in a way that who has access to it can do anything 473 00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:03,340 and who hasn't, will continue to be a slave. 474 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,770 And that's how the system works. 475 00:55:05,810 --> 00:55:09,410 So that's why I gave myself to this life mission. 476 00:55:09,450 --> 00:55:14,220 I want to teach as much people as possible how to not depend on money 477 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,450 and depending more on themselves, on others and their dreams. 478 00:55:17,490 --> 00:55:21,690 Each place is unique and has its own conditions and materials 479 00:55:21,690 --> 00:55:26,330 It's always necessary a previous study of the resources 480 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,930 and their permaculture interactions 481 00:55:29,970 --> 00:55:33,270 in order to design it and to know what to do 482 00:55:33,340 --> 00:55:40,110 In case resources are missing we have to search nearby 483 00:55:40,140 --> 00:55:44,310 and try to exchange some, between interested people. 484 00:55:44,380 --> 00:55:49,890 This is our miraculous combination: earth, clay, sand and straw 485 00:55:50,020 --> 00:55:57,160 combined in right proportions it's our material construction. 486 00:55:58,530 --> 00:56:08,340 For example, at places where the land is infertile we can always use natural fertilizers 487 00:56:08,370 --> 00:56:14,940 by composting. Like kitchen waste, decomposing organic substances 488 00:56:14,980 --> 00:56:21,320 or even the use of compost toilets. And animal or human compost. 489 00:56:21,350 --> 00:56:26,790 So through this process, after 6 months we can use that land to produce. 490 00:56:26,820 --> 00:56:31,360 And so we will start a new circle of production. 491 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:37,630 The more we produce the more earth will have to fertilize in a natural way. 492 00:56:38,070 --> 00:56:44,640 For example, if we don't have water we could construct water reservoirs, lakes, 493 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:50,480 or paths that force water to stay as long as possible on the ground 494 00:56:50,510 --> 00:56:54,180 and even to irrigate the land using gravity to exploit it. 495 00:56:54,220 --> 00:56:58,320 So, there is always a way to obtain the resources as they are abundant 496 00:56:58,350 --> 00:57:01,320 we just have to learn how to collect and make a good use of them. 497 00:57:02,020 --> 00:57:04,630 The solution... I think it is a set of solutions 498 00:57:04,630 --> 00:57:07,160 because there is not only one solution for everything. 499 00:57:07,260 --> 00:57:14,640 About money... The solution... I don't know the exactly solution 500 00:57:14,670 --> 00:57:16,440 we are still looking for it 501 00:57:16,470 --> 00:57:22,680 I think it's about creating models of share, fair exchanges, 502 00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:28,820 harmony and cooperation models and also a good sense and trust between people. 503 00:57:28,850 --> 00:57:33,020 When I talk about exchanges and share models 504 00:57:33,020 --> 00:57:36,020 it doesn't mean that it's always something spontaneous. 505 00:57:36,060 --> 00:57:41,830 These models can be regulated by rules like our system does. 506 00:57:41,860 --> 00:57:46,640 But instead of money we have services that are trade by other services, 507 00:57:46,670 --> 00:57:52,740 Or goods that have a certain value on a place, and a different one somewhere else 508 00:57:52,740 --> 00:57:54,310 because there's not that much of it. 509 00:57:54,410 --> 00:58:02,320 There's a relationship between rarity and abundance that can be calculated. 510 00:58:02,350 --> 00:58:04,920 On our monetary system this isn't calculated. 511 00:58:04,950 --> 00:58:11,330 Money worths more than everything. More than life, values, actions... 512 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:16,530 People kill, steal and do anything because of a paper they say that has value! 513 00:58:16,630 --> 00:58:20,470 And for me what has a real value is the air we breath, 514 00:58:20,470 --> 00:58:25,210 is the sun we have, the land we can produce, the people that can help us. 515 00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:32,980 We live in a time when our illusory economic growth has to stabilize 516 00:58:33,420 --> 00:58:38,320 so that we can perform these alternatives and solutions, 517 00:58:38,390 --> 00:58:42,320 to apply them and stay in a way that we don't need to grow more 518 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,330 So we can use what we already have created. 519 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:54,340 to heal somehow what was damaged and what would take lots of years to be as it was. 520 00:58:54,370 --> 00:59:05,410 One of the main concepts of this project is to combine the ancient knowledge 521 00:59:05,450 --> 00:59:08,880 that has been hidden: our techniques, our connection with Earth, 522 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,150 the most efficient production principles... 523 00:59:12,190 --> 00:59:14,320 Connect all this information that has been lost, 524 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,830 with what we achieved nowadays: Technology. 525 00:59:18,860 --> 00:59:22,730 That gives us a good life quality and the comfort we have nowadays. 526 00:59:22,930 --> 00:59:27,340 Because those ancient techniques are what link us with the surrounding 527 00:59:27,370 --> 00:59:30,110 and with what we can do with the space. 528 00:59:30,170 --> 00:59:33,780 And that's what I think that is closer to sustainability 529 00:59:33,810 --> 00:59:37,410 because they had no oil or coal companies, 530 00:59:37,450 --> 00:59:41,580 they didn't have our lifestyle, they lived with what they had. 531 00:59:41,620 --> 00:59:46,990 Nowadays we have the technology that allows us to live differently 532 00:59:46,990 --> 00:59:50,130 with the possibility to communicate, to have internet access, 533 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:56,130 to have leisure, to create jobs through informatics 534 00:59:56,530 --> 01:00:00,140 and all the comfort and life quality of a home. 535 01:00:00,170 --> 01:00:07,880 So, I think the ideal would be to combine this ancient knowledge, 536 01:00:07,910 --> 01:00:14,180 with technology in order to create efficient solutions as nowadays 537 01:00:14,220 --> 01:00:19,820 but using more simple and sustainable materials and methods. 538 01:00:29,970 --> 01:00:32,470 Dear viewers, I'm resorting the microphone for the last time 539 01:00:32,500 --> 01:00:34,040 to capture your attention. 540 01:00:34,340 --> 01:00:36,670 And I'm speaking from a place that deserves all of your attention. 541 01:00:36,740 --> 01:00:40,280 I'll leave you with extraordinary people, endowed with an extraordinary way of life. 542 01:00:40,310 --> 01:00:42,910 They are not here for two days, they are since 1995 543 01:00:42,910 --> 01:00:45,180 with roots in Germany dating back to 78. 544 01:00:45,310 --> 01:00:48,820 Proving peace, healing love, it goes beyond a community; 545 01:00:48,850 --> 01:00:51,220 it's more than a school, even more than a refuge. 546 01:00:51,620 --> 01:00:53,320 A biotope, as they say. 547 01:11:52,450 --> 01:11:54,520 Then I have some words... 548 01:11:55,620 --> 01:12:01,530 Earth who gave to us this food, Sun who made it ripe and good, 549 01:12:01,930 --> 01:12:07,840 Dear Earth, Dear Sun, by you we live, our loving thanks to you we give. 550 01:18:19,900 --> 01:18:22,740 Hello everybody and welcome to the dinner! 551 01:18:22,850 --> 01:18:31,990 Today we had a very powerful and energizing and loving cook shift. 552 01:18:32,090 --> 01:18:41,200 And... we made a big soup in here with lot of different... things. 553 01:18:43,870 --> 01:18:47,540 And...
