L 'aRtE dI c0lTiVaRe lAsCiAnDo FaRe alla TERRA

Io e Matteo abbiamo partecipato ad un corso tenutosi presso l' agriturismo PRA 'D MILL sull' agricoltura sinergica.
Una breve introduzione sull' agricoltura sinergica:

<< l'agricoltura sinergica è un metodo di coltivazione elaborato dall'agricoltrice spagnola Emilia Hazelip. Si basa sul principio, ampiamente dimostrato dai più aggiornati studi microbiologici, che, mentre la terra fa crescere le piante, le piante creano suolo fertile attraverso i propri "essudati radicali", i residui organici che lasciano e la loro attività chimica, insieme a microrganismi, batteri, funghi e lombrichi.

i prodotti ottenuti con questa pratica hanno una diversa qualità, un diverso sapore, una diversa energia e una maggiore resistenza agli agenti che portano malattie; attraverso questo modo di coltivare viene restituito alla terra, in termini energetici, più di quanto si prende, promuovendo i meccanismi di autofertilità del suolo e facendo dell'agricoltura un'attività umana sostenibile. >>

...AU REVOIR...

AGAIN IN "LE BOST".
A SHORT VISIT IN ORDER TO SAY GOODBYE TO ALL MY FRIENDS WICH ARE GOING IN TO RETREAT 4 ABOUT 3 YEARS.
A COMPLEATLY UNPREDICTABLE TOUR.
A FRIEND OF MINE DROVE ME TO THE PIRENES AFTER THAT RABSEL PICKED ME UP NEAR PAU!
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS I WAS IN LE BOST! IT IS AMAZING HOW MY WAY TO LE BOST IS ALWAYS "EASY GOING!"
I SPENT THERE NEARLY ONE WEEK , NOT MORE, BUT ENOUGHT FOR SHARE NICE MOMENTS ALL TOGETHER.
LA FERME, THE FARM WERE ALL THE GUYS ARE LIVING, WILL BE NEARLY EMPTY. THIS SOUNDS CRAZY TO ME!
JUST BECAUSE I' M USE TO IT.
THE FIRST "SANGHA" WILL SPLIT (FOR A MOMENT). IN THAT SENSE I WANT TO THANKS THEM FOR THE SUPPORT THAT I HAVE AND I HAD IN MY BUDDHIST PATH!
I WISH ALL OF THEM A LOVELY PRE-RETREAT.

... BEFORE ITALY I WANTED TO STOP IN THE ALPS. I COULD NOT CAME BACK STAIGHT AWAY.
I FELT LIKE A "PINBALL-MACHINE'S -BALL" IN EU.
I WANTED TO TAKE TIME FOR MY SELF ALONE. I ACHIEVED THAT IT IS QUITE A LONG TIME THAT I DO NOT SPEND ONE DAY COMPLEATLY ALONE.
(... WHAT DOES IT MEANS TO BE ALONE, CAN WE REALLY BE ALONE!? -> I WOULD NOT OPEN THIS TOPIC NOW...)
I STOPPED IN CHAMBERY. WICH IS NOT SUCH A BEAUTIFULL TOWN!.
I HAD AN AMAZING LONG AND LOVELY WALK .
I ENJOYED THE GREEN GRASS AND THE SNOW ON TOP OF THE CRESTS.
I CLIMBED A HOUSE WALL AND FROM THE TOP OF THE ROOF I SPENT ONE H LOOKING THE SHAPE OF THE PEAKS.
SINCE THAT I ' M IN PORTUGAL I COMPLEATLY FORGOT WAHT DOES IT MEANS TO HAVE A SOFT GREEN GRASS ALL AROUD YOU. WHAT DOES IT MEANS TO SEE WATHER RUNNIG ALL OVER THE PLACES AND HOW DOES IT FEEL TO SMELL THE DARK SOIL!
NATURE IS GREATE. NATURE IS A GIFT. I CONTEMPLATE IT.
OUT OF MY TRAVEL BOOK: "when i' m in nature I AM" .

... THE DAY AFTER I WAS IN MILANO. JAMIANG , HIS MOTEHR AND GRANDMA HEARTFULY WELCOMED ME.I SPENT THERE THE NIGHT . THE DAY AFTER I FINALLY ARRIVED IN NOVARA.
I HAVE TO ADMIT ... NOT SO ENTUSIASTIC ABOUT IT! :p

1° of may in Tamera

TAMERA ,first of may 2008.
About two hundred people gather today , in the Aula, in order to celebrate the beginning of the new Monte Cerro year.
Approximately fourty new students participate in the encounter.
Nine different nationalities (England, Israel, Italy, Holland, USA) will render the new group even more international than the last two last years of university.
Moon Rider, the gospel Tamera's choir, opened the matinèe with a portuguese, perky, rythmic heartful song . Rico , the main singer, pointed out : “ We want to sing a song which reminded all of us why we are here : how to heal a culture, how to change it! ”.
After a very long round of applause for the sonorus performance Juliane Eckmann introduced with simplicity and clarity the new Monte Cerro year . She also gave a warm welcome to all the new third year students.
Juliane reminded how Tamera is involved in a global level because the work that we are doing here is a benefit for the whole planet. “We all are part of the same world . We all are one like a planetary body”, she underlined.
It is foundamental to direct our forces toward a peace culture and not to encrease a culture of war and violence.
Juliane remarked how Monte Cerro Peace Education is a path of joy and inner deep decisions, vital for the world in which we are living in because it makes no more sense to go on living a habitual life when the whole world is in a rapid tranformation.
The matinèe had been enlivened by 3 songs which brought the participant to a joyfull communitarian dance.
The meeting carried on with a speech from Benjamin von Mendelssohn which diffused hope and power of change in a world which needs love and compassion .
“To live in Tamera means to live in a laboratory. In a project in which a movement for a free earth has been created. The main aim of the three years Monte Cerro Peace Education is how to carry on these foundamental topics of inconditional love, truth and trust between human beeings.”

Chez emmanuel

Again clay building.
Me and Matteo we had a lovely week in a small "clay village" .
Emmanuel is a man with long life story. He is really interesting and insipiring person.
He lives with his big family near by Tamera.
They are 6. him, his wife and 4 kids.
We had the possibility to learn a lot and improve our kwnoledge about eco-building.
Be in his place wasn' only a gopod learnig process about architecture but i will say a life learnig week!
we had such a deep and greate talks all together about spirituality, glogal awerness, Permaculture,...

We had to plaster the inside wall of a small temple wich they are building. The idea is to offer a place where all the people from the small villages around can benefit.

This family gave us a lot of trust and responsability . We could really try out every thing and make experiments with the plaster... what a good way of learning!

matteo was with me, this was some how unbelievable !
We saw each other after 5 month of "indipendent life style".
The time that we spent together was incredible good.
Looking foward to see him again but as always i don' t know when :D !!!
