    Description

    The reserve was born in 2013. It arose from the meeting of simple families with young children, from the city of Bogotá, who through art, cultural resignification and ecosocial regeneration, decided to weave paths and experiences, they understood that change It arises from the living example, the spoken word - as the ancients would say - and they set out to meet knowledge, efforts, ideas, experiences and dreams, in the vision of the collective design of a sustainable settlement, in a cloud forest in Silvania Cundinamarca, which became a home and living space for experiential learning for the good life. We weave ourselves with the forest, we learn from it, we co-create a space in which to experience life in another way, raise in another way, weave relationships in another way, to find ourselves and be part of the EcoSocial transition that Gaia pulses.


    Reserva nace en el año 2013. Surge del encuentro de familias sencillas con niños pequeños, provenientes de la ciudad de Bogotá, que a través del arte, la resignificación cultural y la regeneración ecosocial, decidieron tejer caminos y experiencias, comprendieron que el cambio surge desde el ejemplo vivo, la palabra caminada -como dirían los antiguos- y se dispusieron al encuentro de saberes, esfuerzos, ideas, experiencias y sueños, en la visión del diseño colectivo de un asentamiento sustentable, en un bosque de niebla en Silvania Cundinamarca, que se convirtiera en hogar y espacio vivo de aprendizaje experiencial para el buen vivir.

    Nos tejemos con el bosque, aprendemos de él, cocreamos un espacio en el cual experimentar la vida de otra manera, criar de otra manera, tejer relaciones de otra manera, para encontrarnos con nosotros mismos y ser parte de la transición EcoSocial que Gaia pulsa.
