    Description

    ____----English-----____

    We are a family of six: Pablo (dad), Melani (mom), and Río (baby); Graciela (grandma) and Jorge (grandpa); Miriam (aunt).
    Less than a year ago, we decided to try life in the mountains of Córdoba. The place is called Villa García and is located a couple of kilometers from Tanti. The land spans several hectares and has three houses.

    As a group, we are currently in a phase of observing the area from a permaculture perspective: where the winds come from, the slopes and how water flows, how the sun hits us during different months of the year, which spots are optimal for a vegetable garden, etc.

    This observation work takes time, so as not to waste natural resources (like petroleum) or human energy unnecessarily.

    Alongside this observation process, we are also renovating the various living spaces and surrounding areas in preparation for the upcoming spring/summer season. This project aims to prepare the place so that those in need can use it for anything from yoga classes to spiritual retreats.

    Somos una familia de 6: Pablo (papá), Melani (mamá) y Río (bebé); Graciela (abuela) y Jorge (abuelo); Miriam (tía).
    Desde hace menos de un año decidimos probar la vida en las sierras de Córdoba. El lugar se llama Villa García y se encuentra a un par de km de Tanti. El terreno tiene varias hectáreas y cuenta con 3 casas.
    Como grupo, nos encontramos en una etapa de observación del lugar desde una visión permacultural: desde dónde vienen los vientos, cómo son las pendientes y la manera en que escurre el agua, cómo nos da el sol en los diferentes meses del año, qué lugares son óptimos para la huerta, etc.
    El trabajo de observación requiere tiempo, para no gastar recursos naturales (petróleo, por ejemplo) y fuerza humana en vano.
    A la par del trabajo de observación, nos encontramos refaccionando los diferentes espacios de las casas y los alrededores para la próxima temporada de primavera/verano. Este proyecto consiste en preparar el lugar para que quien lo necesite pueda dar desde clases de yoga hasta retiros espirituales.
