Description
For 16 years we have worked on the creation of diverse agroecological experiences, promoting peasant self-management and food sovereignty; generating spaces for dialogue, reflection and action regarding social and environmental problems in the Municipality of Cáqueza Cundinamarca.
In turn, we have developed experiential workshops, popular education meetings, wellness spaces, cineforos and artistic interventions that have helped us strengthen our goal.
We live in a farm that has an agroforestry design based on a coffee plantation, protein bank, native forest recovery, living fences and home garden.
We are also interested in sharing with people who are interested in a community living experience and with artists who want to do an artist residency surrounded by nature.
Durante 16 años hemos trabajado en la creación de experiencias agroecológicas diversas, promoviendo la autogestión campesina y soberanía alimentaria; generando espacios de diálogo, reflexión y acción respecto a problemáticas sociales y ambientales en el Municipio de Cáqueza Cundinamarca.
A su vez hemos desarrollado talleres experienciales, encuentros de educación popular, espacios de bienestar, cineforos e intervenciones artísticas que nos han ayudado a fortalecer nuestro objetivo.
Vivimos en una finca que cuenta con un diseño agroforestal basado en una plantación cafetera, banco de proteínas, recuperación de bosque nativo, cercas vivas y huerta casera.
También estamos interesad@s en compartir con personas que estén interesad@s en una experiencia de vida comunitaria y artistas que quieran realizar una residencia artística en medio de la naturaleza.
