Nomad Farm

"Regenerative Ecosystems" or "Soil" week just came to an end. Marking two weeks since our eco-living month at Riverside Ecoliving Jericó (Colombia) began 🌴 The two main projects participants focused on this week were: #Permaculture Design and Bio-Construction. 1) Permaculture Design: Final project - design a Permaculture-based proposal for Riverside. To get there, we learned the importance of developing a deeper understanding of the place we are in, including sectors, zones, elements, functions. In groups of 7 people, two quality designs were created, including practical recommendations that multiplies functions and enrich the entire system. For example: a rain water catchment system, a goat manure system, a new solar panel system, multi-functional communal and wellness spaces, plant system for water infiltration along the 'slopey' terrain, & more. We were so impressed how quickly one start thinking like a Permaculturist! 2) Bio-construction: Renovate a wellness and ceremonial space at Riverside built 100% with native Andean bamboo called "Guadua". - Learned about "Guada", the most important bamboo of the Americas due to its quality, for construction & other - Learned how and when to harvest it - How to prepare it for uses of our project - & how to treat it with a natural acid created from smoking coffee bean husks for a long lasting and strengthening effect One-off activities for this Regenerative Ecosystems week: - Cacau + Aluna Documentary by the Kogis - Decolonisation and Activism workshop - Bonfire sharing circle (“We talk from the heart”) - Japanese Origami workshop by Tanvi (a Nomad Farmer participant) On the Weekend:  - Organic Coffee Farm visit and Cold Waterfall Plunge - Hike to "Fin del Mundo" with a flute concert at the top - Amazonian medicine ceremony (known as yagé in Colombia), more commonly, Ayahuasca Next week's thematic: Regenerating the Self, the starting point of #regeneration 🫀

Week 2 and 3 of our pop-up coliving at Traditional Dream Factory are dedicated to learning and practicing Permaculture. On Saturday, we had our first Collective Action - with expert agroecology guidance of Nayã from Rota Agroecologica. It's incredible all that we can achieve with 20 people in 2 hours! - The system: Syntropic Agroforestry System 📈♻️🌳 - The design: 5 nests 🪹 1 spiral 🌀 2 half moons 🌗 - Location: Valley, protected from the wind, plenty of sun light, overlooking the future lake 🧭 🪱What we did - creating an environment for microorganism to return to the soil where we are developing the new system 🪵 We used - existing soil, mulch, ash, wood chips, manure, wood, some basic tools including shovels and wheel barrows, our hands and our hearts This is the magic of coming together, synchronizing for a common purpose with infectious positive energy. This week, we finish the plant design and get planting! #permaculture #syntropic #agroforestry #digitalnomads #regeneration

Congratulations Liora Nuchowicz for having completed the Permaculture Design Course Certification with Ecoversity 🌳 May the permaculture ethics of people care, earth care and fair share be honored, leveraged and carried out through the diverse facets of the Nomad Farm ecosystem.
