    Description

    This is a community project in the monutain, that we call "Life Laboratories", developing different experiences and learn areas around permaculture: ecological agriculture, bioconstruction, food forest, relations and convivence space...
    All these "Life Laboratories" are areas that we create in a horizontal way between everyone here in each moment, including volunteers. Now we have our focus in the "Bioconstruction Laboratory" and in the "Food Forest Laboratory", we do agriculture in a family level and we work with aromatic plants, elaborating different types of medicinal preparations, distilling plants and learning aromatherapy.
    At the moment we live one family (two adults and one child), the other family is still finishing to build their stone house and they go to live there early.
    As a project we are open to volunteers who come to stay long time can develop new "Life Laboratories" according to their interests, as well as integrate into the laboratories in an active and participative way.

    Este es un proyecto comunitario en Monutain, al que llamamos "Laboratorios de Vida", que desarrolla diferentes experiencias y aprende áreas sobre permacultura: agricultura ecológica, bioconstrucción, bosques de alimentos, relaciones y espacios de convivencia ...
    Todos estos "Laboratorios de Vida" son áreas que creamos de manera horizontal entre todos los presentes en cada momento, incluidos los voluntarios. Ahora nos enfocamos en el "Laboratorio de Bioconstrucción" y en el "Laboratorio de Bosques de Alimentos", hacemos agricultura a nivel familiar y trabajamos con plantas aromáticas, elaborando diferentes tipos de preparaciones medicinales, destilando plantas y aprendiendo aromaterapia.
    En el momento en que vivimos una familia (dos adultos y un niño), la otra familia todavía está terminando de construir su casa de piedra y se van a vivir allí temprano.
    Como proyecto, estamos abiertos a los voluntarios que vienen para quedarse mucho tiempo, pueden desarrollar nuevos "Laboratorios de vida" según sus intereses, así como integrarse en los laboratorios de forma activa y participativa.
