There are two things going on:
The strengthening and building of the ‘community’ being established at Los Partidos. The experience last year was magical with incredible outcomes that we are continuing to develop. We want to make this an annual event, a meeting of minds, of experience and thinking.
There is room to add more participants and we are open to suggestions. We should give the ‘community’ a name (Elders, Wise, Experience, Thinking, Immortals- I am living in France!!) In itself, this regular gathering is of real value. It will continue to be fully funded and there will be no expectation of members other than to join the conversation.
Community members need to be sustainable in order to further their work. They are welcome to bring their own groups and we can help source either local (to Los Partidos) accommodation or use the accommodation options we are planning in the tourist areas on the coast. We are building a programme for the general public and this will be held on the coast for reasons of logistics.
Community members can generate personal income by contributing to this general programme AND we can promote their workshops to generate additional income and spread the word further still. See below for workshop ideas already suggested.
We want to works towards building EarthWeek into an event that supports the Earth whilst helping individuals and communities on their own journeys.
