In the Community Program we form a Beija-Flor group.
Being Beija-Flor is an invitation to a more conscious, healthier, sustainable life with a community-minded perspective, diving into the depth you want and are ready for, as someone who visits us like a Beija-Flor visits a flower—drinking its nectar and helping with pollination.
The Beija-Flor program is composed of a balance of physical, mental, and spiritual activities that invite you to look at life and human relationships in a different way. It is designed for people who, in some way:
1. are in transition (professional, emotional, spiritual);
2. want to invest their time and skills by aligning with principles different from those learned in the predominant system;
3. want to learn new skills;
4. want to connect with nature beyond leisure;
5. seek to feel in practice what it means to truly live in community and learn ways to sustain a relational matrix that is different.
If you want to stay longer, know that just as everything in the sociocratic system, this request will go through a consent-based evaluation, which will consider the cooperation, integration, and proactivity of the volunteer.
The kinds of activities that make up the Beija-Flor Program are dynamic and alive. This means that in order for it to truly be a program that translates love into action to the maximum, we constantly evaluate:
1. What are the needs (of the location, the community, the people and the projects);
2. Seasonality and climatic factors;
3. How we can create the conditions to activate collective intelligence in the use of available resources and potentials.
Our days together start early with a collective breakfast, followed by a tuning session and a work party. The morning work parties focus on outdoor activities, whether in agroecology, maintenance, or construction.
Some people join daily to help in the kitchen. Lunches are communal with the rest of the residents.
In the afternoon we work on more mental activities, group studies, circles of conversation, and self-knowledge. We will have classes in sociocracy, Nonviolent Communication, and other studies of regenerative culture.
Rainy days are good moments for each person to offer an activity as well; meditations, yoga classes, and watercolor classes are some of the activities we have seen here.
We will have some afternoons and evenings free to make bonfires, music circles, etc.
We organize each period of volunteering around a celebration in harmony with nature.
Volunteers stay in single or double rooms, according to our events schedule and the availability of hotel rooms.
During some events when all rooms are occupied, we join with more people per room, or in the ecovillage houses!
The volunteer is responsible for bringing bed linen and towels (sheets and towels) and their personal hygiene items, for washing their own clothes, for helping with the preparation and cleaning of meals and harmonizing the lodging and convivium spaces. If you cannot bring bed linen and towels, you can rent them.
Three vegan meals per day are included, prepared and harmonized (cleaning and organization) by all residents and volunteers.
