1
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:47,380
-Everyday it's Christmas here!
-Everyday it's Christmas here.
2
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:12,380
- It was a german guy that was living in Idanha
and he was enjoying so much the food
3
00:06:12,410 --> 00:06:17,300
that he would say
โOh yeah the food is like Christmas everyday!โ
4
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,370
- So nice! Christmas food!
5
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,800
- Daddy I don't want to eat more.
- Don't you want more?
6
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:33,300
- She's so beautiful.
7
00:06:33,330 --> 00:06:37,300
She is the fairy of the fairies.
- She is!
8
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:54,800
- Can you lower the computer sound and come to lunch?
9
00:06:55,300 --> 00:07:02,880
- For who has a vegetarian diet this kitchen is very nice.
Everything's organic...
10
00:07:03,310 --> 00:07:04,950
- Yes I can notice the difference.
11
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:27,000
- Is the pasta good my love?
12
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:34,620
Do you want some more?
With a little bit of tomato sauce?
13
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,100
You ate almost everything!
14
00:07:38,130 --> 00:07:41,270
Uau!
You are eating so much!
15
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,150
Is it to grow a lot?
To get big like daddy?
16
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:09,020
- Enjoy your meal!
- Thanks!
17
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:59,200
First of all there was a tv reportage telling:
"The last Cabrum's habitant would leave the hamlet."
18
00:08:59,230 --> 00:09:05,950
Mr. Manuel, who was living here with lots of goats,
alone for five years.
19
00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:12,300
And a friend of a friend of mine saw it on TV
20
00:09:12,330 --> 00:09:18,650
and told him about it because they were searching
for abandoned hamlets to create this project.
21
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,300
It sounded good for them.
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.
Treating the gardens, restoring the houses...
29
00:09:57,330 --> 00:09:59,550
and living like they used to.
30
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:07,550
it sounded great to them because
it's like bringing back their memories.
31
00:10:07,850 --> 00:10:11,650
And the feedback
we're having so far is very good!
32
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:17,300
And here in Portugal
as we are so connected with the earth,
33
00:10:17,330 --> 00:10:21,200
when you start creating a garden
and cleaning the forest,
34
00:10:21,230 --> 00:10:29,460
it's a major honor you can do
for the people that used to live from the land.
35
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:35,300
Watching the vegetables growing,
the cleaned forest...
36
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,300
And now we are
in the process of renewing the contract,
37
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:48,770
because this is given to us
but we are investing here part of our savings,
38
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,050
almost everything we have,
So, we'd like to have some safety.
39
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:55,050
I lived many years in the City
40
00:10:56,300 --> 00:11:01,300
and it was a great experience
I don't regret it
41
00:11:01,330 --> 00:11:07,250
and everyone here
that came from the City think the same.
42
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:14,300
If we made this choice,
it was completely conscious
43
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:19,300
most of the people here
came for their own choice
44
00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:25,750
not for necessity
or for not having an alternative.
45
00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:32,750
It was an option. A lifestyle choice.
Changing. because we opted for the change.
46
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:39,950
And we chose this place to live...
and I don't miss the City at all.
47
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:47,800
All this peace here in Nature.
Being so close of it, you know
48
00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:54,880
The communication with Pachamama
All this surrounding Nature. It's so different.
49
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:57,900
Obviously the City is also Nature
it was created by Man
50
00:11:57,900 --> 00:11:59,850
and Man is part of Nature!
51
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:05,100
So, I won't say "No to the City" and
"Yes to the Countryside".
52
00:12:05,130 --> 00:12:09,550
No. It's not about fundamentalisms,
it's about beliefs.
53
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:18,300
To want a different life where
the material side doesn't mean much.
54
00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:26,200
I can tell since I came here
there are so many things I stopped buying.
55
00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:31,650
So, this was an intrinsic
reorganization for all of us
56
00:12:31,650 --> 00:12:36,900
In terms of our way to be
and our way to live, to get apart from the material side.
57
00:12:37,250 --> 00:12:43,450
And everyone is very happy about it here
because that's what we believe in.
58
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,480
The union between people,
To create a sustainable life...
59
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,480
The possibility for you to construct your house
your nest, your shelter...
60
00:12:53,510 --> 00:12:55,900
The possibility to eat from the garden,
61
00:12:55,930 --> 00:13:00,150
a community garden
that gathers so many people's energy...
62
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:05,250
Everything is done with so much love
and respect for Nature
63
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,550
So, it's impossible to miss the City.
64
00:13:08,580 --> 00:13:11,300
And I lived in a big
and beautiful city
65
00:13:11,330 --> 00:13:14,750
that I love because it's where I was born
66
00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:18,650
but where I wouldn't ever come back to live.
67
00:13:18,750 --> 00:13:25,770
When I was moving over here...
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:
โWe 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 โotherโ.
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 รfrica.
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,
โEco-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... We got potatoes
from the oven!
554
01:18:48,440 --> 01:18:53,280
And... we also got...
I don't know the name.
555
01:18:53,340 --> 01:18:54,280
- Swiss Chard!
556
01:18:54,310 --> 01:18:55,580
- Swiss?
- Chard.
557
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:57,080
- Swiss Chard!
558
01:18:57,450 --> 01:19:00,250
And bread from the oven.
559
01:19:01,750 --> 01:19:05,220
Like always
we got a big variety of salad
560
01:19:05,250 --> 01:19:07,220
so, enjoy your meal!
561
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:28,070
Here is where we storage the seeds
after worked and processed.
562
01:20:28,270 --> 01:20:32,470
All these boxes have seeds...
563
01:20:32,740 --> 01:20:40,180
Like old seeds
that we call green fertilizer.
564
01:20:40,850 --> 01:20:48,090
And even cereals,
or vegetables and fruit trees.
565
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,590
And also regular trees.
566
01:20:50,690 --> 01:20:55,260
So, the need or the willing
of having this seed's project in Tamera
567
01:20:58,730 --> 01:21:03,670
I think you already understood that
one of Tamera's fundamental questions
568
01:21:04,740 --> 01:21:07,280
is also
how to reach this self-sustainability.
569
01:21:07,440 --> 01:21:09,980
where we don't
depend on a big system
570
01:21:11,750 --> 01:21:15,380
that in a certain way
controls the food we eat.
571
01:21:15,750 --> 01:21:21,520
So, the goal is to cultivate
and to preserve our own seeds.
572
01:21:21,690 --> 01:21:26,730
And typical seeds from this region
and even internationally
573
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,600
because lots of the people that come here
bring seeds.
574
01:21:30,300 --> 01:21:36,940
In order to be self-sufficient
and to preserve this ancient richness
575
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:44,780
that has been destroyed in the last decades
for multinational companies.
576
01:21:47,050 --> 01:21:56,490
So it's kind of taking back the power
of preserving our food.
577
01:21:56,590 --> 01:22:01,100
We use the seeds
not only for our gardens
578
01:22:01,330 --> 01:22:05,200
I mean because of the food sovereignty
and sustainability topics,
579
01:22:05,230 --> 01:22:12,270
but also, our goal
is to have a seeds bank
580
01:22:12,310 --> 01:22:14,740
for the region
and internationally.
581
01:22:14,780 --> 01:22:18,250
There are lots of people
that come here to pick seeds.
582
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,050
Concluding, we use it
for our gardens,
583
01:22:21,180 --> 01:22:24,020
we have a certain distribution
and seeds exchange
584
01:22:24,050 --> 01:22:28,220
at a regional level
with other local farmers,
585
01:22:28,220 --> 01:22:31,490
and also internationally
with the people that come here.
