The philosophy of the village

• Working for a future in which humanity can understand a great lesson, of impermanence and transience of life, which will no longer be borne by the rich heritage of its rampant consumerism and the subject of his savings, but will be supported only by ' expression of itself, of his personal power, its essence, the consciousness of personal responsibility and family and social life.

• The patterns, structures, on which we had relied until recently, seem to collapse, increase efforts to realize the truth in the heart of ourselves, like a secret, like a pearl in the sea.

• The lesson of this historical moment is not to identify with what you have, not to lose your sense of yourself to not fall into a sense of emptiness and loss, depression or existential void.

• The desire to break down barriers, to believe in his dream to break free from the limits of splitting structures of a consumer society and run towards their freedom will be a growing sentiment shared.

• Breaking with the old and the past for insight into the forest of tomorrow, where everything is still unknown, but terribly attractive.

• Working for a future of hope in the knowledge that it is time to allow the wind to blow on the sails of our ship Earth, to create a better world.

• Joint projects, care of mother earth, dream awareness and shared values in renewed faith in the spirit of freedom are the pearls that these experiences in the future may offer.

• Living and experiences in contact with shamans and curanderos will allow us to educate ourselves to honor nature and cure us with his gifts, awakening in us the contact with the source of all things.

• Live and walk the way of the warrior of peace, starting with us to "be peace", to create world peace.
