PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COLLECTIVE SPACE OF THE AYRUMÃ ECOVILLAGE IN MINAS GERAIS

​

It's time to co-create!

This delicate moment we are going through has awakened in many people a deep need to belong to a cause, and a strong need to be more integrated with nature.

You who feel this longing to live experiences in a welcoming space, which is healing, accompanied by creative and loving people, this dream is getting closer and closer to becoming possible with the support of everyone.

In the 7 years that Ayrumã has been working with projects with the community in Capivari, Serro / MG for 7 years, there is no covered space in the ecovillage (nor in the region) for this purpose, only open air, for the development of social, environmental and cultural technologies.

Besides this, the community where Ayrumã is located is located in a region of great environmental importance that is threatened by mining enterprises, which makes it increasingly vulnerable. To make the situation even worse, there is a lack of support from the state and public policies for socio-environmental needs.

OPEN ARMS
We are building the Mother House, as a collective space, to enhance group activities for: courses, seminars, festivals, meetings, experiences and joint work.

Once this space is materialized, art, science, education, and the potential of each member will proliferate and continue to generate abundance for the association and all its surroundings, in the communities where Ayrumã operates.

We will be with open arms for all those who want to experience this exchange, volunteering, and living in a place of rich biodiversity and beautiful nature, which provides healing for all who visit.

OUR IMPACT
We have been for 7 years in an immersion of group development through social technologies, permaculture, non-violent communication, protection and conservation of native vegetation, the construction of internal organization by sowing knowledge and experiences in the formation of a community.

We contribute through the articulation of joint actions among community associations, schools and universities, third sector entities, and public administration, developing actions based on three pillars: Biodiversity and Conservation, Education and Culture, and Sustainability and Permaculture.

​

In addition to caring for a 132-hectare reserve, we support biodiversity conservation through scientific research and environmental education, and seek to intensify the neighboring network of conservation units with the Pico do Itambé, Rio Preto and Biribiri State Parks, the Várzea do Lajeado Natural Monument, and the Águas Vertentes Environmental Protection Area.

We have supported actions in the region such as: the creation of the Sempre Viva school, to teach young people and adults to read and write; the recovery of cultural traditions; support for community-based tourism; food autonomy and the complementation of family income; popular courses for the learning of low-cost technologies.

This whole process has already had a positive impact on several lives, from the members of Ayrumã, everyone who visited, to the surrounding communities. By having our infrastructure established, we will be able to greatly expand these actions, and receive people interested in making this immersion, and living new experiences.

OUR CHALLENGE
We know the challenges of making a transition from the current capitalist system to a collective way of living in communion with the planet earth, perceiving it as a living being. Migrating from a feeling of separation, to understanding that we are Nature.

The demand has grown a lot for spaces like Ayrumã, which are in a place of abundant nature, with pure waters, and spectacular landscapes, of a rich biodiversity, and with a group of members full of talents to offer the world new paradigms of cooperation and engaged spirituality. But we are limited in sharing all this wealth, for lack of infrastructure.

We need resources to build these structures, to enable the group to establish itself, with well-integrated conditions of living on earth, being able to offer living spaces for all who intend to arrive.

YOUR DONATION IS VERY IMPORTANT
We receive many requests for visits and volunteering, who are looking for a substantial change in life that connects them to a collective, that gives them hope to be part of and learn new ways of acting in the world, to exercise their conscious citizenship. But for this to become possible, the collaboration of each one of us in this campaign will be fundamental.

Your donation will be essential to make this dream of living together in community come true, and to open the paths for everyone who wants to live this experience.

Goals
Each phase will take place according to the resources raised. Each phase encompasses the previous one.

1. Phase 1 - R$30,000 to close the house, with floor, walls, windows and doors

2. Phase 2 - R$60,000.00 phase 1 + annex office and dry toilet

3. Phase 3 - $100,000.00 Phase 2 + dinning room and dormitory

4. Phase 4 - $130,000.00 phase 3 + veranda and deck

 

Everything that passes this value will be channeled to infrastructure. We also have plans to build a school, an atelier, space for meditation and ceremonies, a carpentry shop, and a laboratory for natural products.
If you donate an amount different from the ones indicated on the site and want to choose a reward, please contact us directly.

Who We Are
We are an intentional community and a non-profit civil society organization that promotes the holistic integration of the ecological, economic, social, and cultural dimensions of sustainability through participatory processes, fomenting actions and relationships of cooperation, solidarity, and integration with nature, to ensure the well-being of all life forms and their future generations.

OUR PRINCIPLES: Biodiversity, Conservation, Education, Culture, Sustainability, Permaculture
