    Description

    This is an integrating project of a biodynamic farm, a meeting/retreat space and an artist residence. It is located in the San Isidro Labrador area of the town of Puerto Libertad, Misiones, height 1604 of national route 12, half an hour from Puerto Iguazú, 35 minutes from Cataratas International Airport, 285km north of Posadas.

    It has 8 hectares on the Paraná River (there is a beach), with 1 hectare set aside for biodynamic crops, jungle trails suitable for excursions, bird watching, animals and plants of the native Atlantic forest. It is a small-scale biodynamic farm project, which aims at the production of biodynamic food for self-sufficiency and in which we also intend to produce Spagyric phytomedicines, experimenting and applying biodynamic techniques to the cultivation of medicinal plants.

    The first planned activities are: construction of the domestic garden, construction of a nursery/nursery and improvement of facilities (painting, basic carpentry and basic electricity).

    We are a group of people interested in being closer to nature, betting on the conservation of the Alto Paraná Atlantic forest, learning biodynamic agriculture, seeking self-sustainability through the production of healthy foods and the preparation of phytomedicines, recovering knowledge and respectful practices. with nature, people and cultures. We call for plurality, for the encounter and exchange of knowledge and practices.

    We are interested in the exchange and sharing of diverse knowledge and practices. We are starting and we need that strength, we understand strength in the network. The jungle ecosystem is intense and very dynamic, so any help is welcome at this stage of integrating a productive system into this type of biome.

    Es un proyecto de granja biodinámica a pequeña escala, que apunta a la producción de alimentos biodinámicos para autoabastecimiento y en la que también pretendemos producir fitomedicamentos Espagíricos, experimentando y aplicando técnicas biodinámicas al cultivo de plantas medicinales.

    Las primeras actividades planificadas son: construcción de la Huerta doméstica, construcción de un vivero/almacigo y mejoramiento de instalaciones (pintura, carpintería básica y electricidad básica).

    Somos un grupo de personas interesadas en estar más cerca de la naturaleza, apostando a la conservación de la selva atlántica altoparanaense, aprendiendo agricultura biodinámica, buscando la autosustentabilidad a través de la producción de alimentos saludables y la elaboración de fitomedicamentos, recuperando saberes y prácticas respetuosas con la naturaleza, las personas y las culturas. Llamamos a la pluralidad, al encuentro y al intercambio de saberes y prácticas.

    Nos interesa el intercambio y el compartir saberes y prácticas diversas. Estamos comenzando y necesitamos de esa fuerza, entendemos en la red la fortaleza.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We offer a space for exchange and learning. We are studying and experimenting from biodynamic agriculture, putting our knowledge into practice both in relation to food cultivation and in the production of phytomedicines with Spagyria techniques (alchemy with plants). We know Spanish, English and Portuguese so it will make us all improve our communication skills. Living and being in contact with the jungle teaches about life, about death, about cycles, relationships, and living in the jungle is the best way to learn about the plants, animals, birds, insects, and fungi that They live in this ecosystem. The river and the beach are beautiful places to spend free time, cool off, relax and enjoy.

    Sabemos español, inglés y portugués por lo que hará que todos mejoremos nuestras habilidades comunicacionales.
    Vivir y estar en contacto con la selva, enseña, sobre la vida, sobre la muerte, sobre los ciclos, la relaciones y vivir en la selva es la mejor manera de conocer las plantas, los animales, las aves, los insectos y hongos que vivien en este ecosistema.
    El río y la playa son lugares hermosos dónde pasar el tiempo libre, refrescarse, relajarse y disfrutar.
