VERY SOON INFORMATION ON THE INTERGALACTIC RAINBOW GATHERING TO TAKE
PLACE IN <http:///>
MEXICO ON NOVEMBER 2007 <http:///>
LOCATION:
The event will take place north of Chiapas, Mexico. Close to a village
called Ostuacan.
Camping is on the shores of a deep river, where swimming is fantastic.
Nearby is the Chichonal Active Volcano, that in it's crater holds a lake
with emerging volcanic hot water, an unforgettable experience. (swimming
is possible with a bit of common sense and taking certain precautions)
There will are also many beautiful horses, and a few excursions will be
arranged, though we cant guarantee that everyone will be able to take
part in this activity.
We use horses to transport the baby trees to their location minimizing
our carbon emissions.
The event is non-commercial, and is free for all, we maintain a
vegetarian food diet, basic maintenance choirs should be shared equally
by all those attending.
We count on donations to feed everyone as well as support from
environmental institutions, we also raise funds through the shows we
offer in the communities. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
We consider essential to compliment the reforestations with
environmental education initiatives thus helping raise awareness of the
importance of planting trees and conservation. We work together with
governmental and nongovernmental organization to help monitor the trees.
We organize plantations in schools accompanied by the students, in this
case we prefer to plant fruit trees which also helps the students to
have fresh fruits right in school, this being specially very beneficial
in low income villages.

Why reforest

Reforestations are essential activities to help revitalize the health of
the Earth and combat climate change. Today around the world the
deforestation has grown to an alarming rate exceeding by far the index
of reforestations, this brings catastrophic consequences to the
atmosphere as well as for other organisms that's depend on these forests
for habitat..

We have but a short time to avert damaging and economically debilitating
climate change. We also have all the economic, intellectual and
technological know-how to head off this calamity and avoid the
disruption and misery that inaction would entail.
The solutions are numerous and, as many economists say, affordable when
compared with the costs of complacency.

Globally, forest cover is at least one-third less than what it once was.
It is time to reverse the trends, it is time to act.

Climate change confronts us now. There is no longer conjecture or debate
around an abstract or hypothetical future. We need action. We need to
plant trees and in doing so send a signal to the corridors of political
power across the globe that the watching and waiting is over â€"
that countering climate change can take root via one billion small but
significant acts in our gardens, parks, countryside and rural areas.
Achim Steiner, Executive Director
United Nations Environment Programme

” The question is not whether climate change is happening but
whether, in the face of this emergency, we ourselves can change fast
enough”

Our reforestation programs.

Our innovative reforestations combine the plantation of trees fused with
a multicultural events, workshops and temporary ecologically friendly
living spaces that last from a few days to several weeks. This promotes
reforestation events not only as necessary duty of each individual to
combat climate change, but coordinating a culturally appealing and
spiritually earthbinding.

Through the reforestations and creative activities and workshops we
intend to generate a deep and lasting effect, as much for the local
communities as well as for the participants and simultaneously create a
forest or of fruit orchard that can also help as nutritious source of
food of the communities, as well as to absorb carbon dioxide emissions
which are exceeding on our planet.

Another key point is the life and direct experience of participating in
an temporal ecological community with all the benefits and complications
that this carries, thus also promoting ecovillage living and a more
sustainable lifestyle. Workshops are offered on a volunteer basis, We
ask from those attending consideration in order to maintain a
harmonically working community as well promoting principals of respect
towards the environment.

Participants upon arrival are advised to sign in agreement to a letter
of terms conditions that are provided upon entry, in this way the basic
concepts of communitarian life are established and the people are
informed regarding basic notions of how to behave in the environment,
preventing the space from suffering negative ecological effects.

Temporary ecovillage habitat.

Participants have the opportunity to offer workshops with a cultural or
ecological focus, like for example: Acoustic Music, permaculture, cob
brick building, African Dance, collective Intelligence, consensus and
facilitation, handcrafts from recycled materials, Horse maintenance and
care, temascal (sweat lodge), Maya calendar, African percussion, yoga,
martial arts and capoeira

In order to be able to live in this communal space that hosts a
considerable amount of people, it is necessary to distribute the work
equitably. For that reason we created the energetic administration that
equilibrates workload. Which is vital in successfully maintain an
organic community in a natural context.

In the morning, after the breakfast we form a circle of discussion where
people take responsibility for choirs and activities. The tasks are
distributed according to the amount of people that attend, divided by
the amount of necessary activities.
Usually during or after every reforestation we take the time to organize
a show for the village, that combines ethnic music, dances and many
acts. We also use the space and time to respectfully transmit ecological
messages.

This innovative initiative seeks to venture into new way of creating
events without a negative impact to environment, as well also to raise
awareness in the participants and the local communities, on the
importance of reforestations and sustainable development in a creative,
dynamic, attractive and effective method.
