Description
Hello! We are a family with four children aged 16, 14, 11 and 9.
I am 51, born in Spain and Irina, 47, born in Romania.
In the last eight years fully involved in permaculture, edible forests and farm life in the mountains of northern Spain. Our efforts in recent years have aimed at strengthening sovereignty in all its dimensions (educational, food and health specially) because we are very aware of the "hard rain" that is now falling on humanity.
We have witnessed the blessings of farm life in our children. The accomplishments have been astonishing, but we have had to confront with institutional harassment all these years and just said enough is enough.
World is very big. No need to comply with decaying, obsolete and harmful structures. We are the dwellers of a new earth and know our mission is to protect, sow and nourish the seeds...
Our children are not only up to date with what is generally taught in schools and are avid readers and users of the library, but also know how to graft trees, open and cultivate orchards, work with wood and iron, identify medicinal and edible plants, manage a herd, milk and make cheese, harvest honey, make jam, mow and cure grass, etc., and they also have had time to train as musicians, participating in the bagpipe local band, as well as playing other instruments like violin, acordeón, drums and keyboard.
Unfortunately none of this has meant much for the local authorities who still insist in threatening the integrity of our family. So, in the last month, we have been dismantling our farm. It is a very big challenge
Our children have had to let go of almost everything that, until now, was part of their daily references:
The humble cabin that sheltered them, the animals they raised, milked, and herded, the gardens where they gathered their food daily, their swing hanging from the branch of the majestic oak, their wooden swords, their bows, arrows, and shields...
Even so, they renounced it all with a calm countenance; none of it could overcome their innate joy; they continued singing and playing.
Because they still carry with them the most important. Their family and their music.
So, in this new stage we are just entering now, these are clear priorities for us, and yes, we want to show our kids that while traveling, the feeling of family could become very extended!

Hello!!!
My name is Irina and I am mother of four beautiful children. My motherhood made me realize that there is no better place to grow up a kid than nature and It would be great to be part of a tribe so the children can learn different skills from a lot of people.
I love cooking, baking bread, gardening, playing with kids... And learn every day something new. I think I am open minded, flexible and I love travelling ( we travelled with the kids and before also).
I understand that our unique option as human beings is creating spaces of coliving and getting united ... Growing animals, vegetables, edible forest are very important for us.
Hopefully we will find people with similar way of thinking and, of course, with kids!
My name is Pedro.
My background studies involved educational matters and had some experiences teaching philosophy in highschool as well as some valuable forays into early childhood school.
I have a nomadic spirit, only counterbalanced by my passion for trees and plants, who taught me the joys of rooting.
Travelled to many places. Bursted in tears when I finally experienced fraternity. I think it's about time my kids dive deep into it.
