The Cerchio Rurale project aims to rebuild a local community that is involved mainly in the preservation of the local natural resources and in making out of them a base for a sustainable living.
At the moment there's a group of people not living in the same place, but already sharing a lot and helping each other.
In Casetta del Nibbio, the place where I'm writing from and where I live, there's space to host people who want to come and visit the area, offer some help in the daily works, learn anything that we will be doing in that period, from building with earth, wood, canes and straw to gardening, basket weaving, dancing, singing, practice any kind of therapeutic work (as we always need to be fit and strong in our body and soul and in deep contact with ourselves and the surrounding Nature).
There are already a finished earthen house and a guest room that are indipendent. A new earthen house will be hopefully finished in the coming spring and summer. (see the Archintreccio project).
That means that there's space for other people to live here and share the community project.
Toilet and kitchen are shared. An outdoor compost toilet and shower will be built in the coming months.
I'm equipped with solar cooker, solar oven, photovoltaic electricity (just for small appliances), wood stove and wood oven for bakery products.
There's also enough space for gardening, a young orchard with old varieties, two water tanks built in 2012 with the ferrocement technique and that can hold already half of the needed water for the summer garden. Another water tank is planned to be build next year.
The property now is probably large enough just for a couple of families, but it could be a good base to start a common project and buy other land in the area. This is not so difficult as prices are still quite low and there are many plots to be sold here. In the local group of friends we're already talking about a common place where we could live all together, but we need more energies to start this new adventure.
For me it's important to create a larger and stronger community in order to have some influence also within the local administration and among the local people with better choices for an ecological approach to life.
My two children, 5 and 8 years old, comes often to stay with me. They choosed homeschooling. So other children are really welcome, especially if of the same age.
The adult environment should respect the development of self-regulation in the children and any kind of sharing in that direction will be appreciated, as a person outside the family can better observe the fine details in parents-children behaviour.
My philosophy:
Since there's always work to be done and things to learn, people should not care too much about that, but mainly about the building of the community. If people get together anything can be achieved and together there could be a better planning and a joyful moment of creation in group.
It's important to be connected with all the beings around here. And one just needs to open one's senses and get involved. The bird's singing will echoes in one's heart and trees around will speak clearly to one's soul; and together with them all living and non living beings in the air, in/on the earht and in the water.
I'm personally keen on any kind of therapeutic work that can help to reach a deeper contact with one's self, the other people and the surrounding environment.
Together we can sing, dance, work on a theather piece, do some massage, voice training or playing a game and it all will help to develop a finer awareness.
For about ten years I've been studying orgonomy and orgonetherapy and this is an excellent tool that can enhance the possibilities offered by any other kind of therapy and I would be glad to share it with anybody who is involved in self-healing. Since we all come from an ill society that needs much healing, it's never a waste of time to work on one's phisical and emotional blockages that often causes us an unbalanced way of behaving.
I reject any use of drugs that cause a disfunction in the living energy pulsation inside our body. If you use any kind of drug, but you're sincerely motivated to stop, we can work together on it.
You're really welcome to join me and the rest of the group, possibly coming for at least one week.
