3 days, 3 people, more than 60 fruit trees planted, loads of rainwater harvested and seeping through into the landscape, new friendships, so much connection, Earth guidance, endless gratitude! There's nothing else to do at this moment but planting trees, restoring ecosystems and guaranteeing full protection for existing/remaining forests, wetlands, rivers and oceans. Do you get that? Move on up and do your best! no less than your best. #foodforest #forestgardening #swales #waterharvesting #water #trust #human #doyourbest #permaculture #earthweareone #gratitude #treeplanting #reforestation #ecosystemrestoration #plantatree #thetreeandthewater

Miracles happen everyday when opening fully to the possibilities of this wondrous experience of life. Swales keep on harvesting rainwater, groundcover plants keep on enriching and fixing the soil, we keep on working. The tree planting time has started. All endemic varieties of apples, pears, plums, cherries, apricots and figs. Supported by nitrogen fixers and dynamic accumulators like elderberry, broom box, coronilla, golden chain, judas tree, willow etc. Endless gratitude to all the supporters, donors, friends, volunteers, mentors and partners that make all of this possible. Whether or not human kind will survive all of the crisis we cause to ourselves, I know we are doing the right thing, we are doing our best, we are caring for our Mother Earth. We are all in it together. #permaculture #foodforest #forestgardening #italiachecambia #permacultureproject #permacultura #swales #rainwaterharvesting #treeplanting #earthguardians #healingtheearth #natureconservation #reforestation #regenerativeagriculture #naturalfarming #reforestationproject #weareone #interbeing #thetreeandthewater #themorebeautifulworldourheartsknowispossible

Portugal Part 2 DEFEND THE SACRED 🔥🌱🐝🍁🌲 It was dark already, the memory of the charcoal landscape penetrating my heart. A night of flames burning the old. Witnessing the astounding devouring fierce that flashes across the valleys and hills of attachment and fear. Let go. Let it all go. Just be, in the darkness. With the light comes the joy, the lush green of hundreds of new plants, specifically placed following a detailed regenerative design to heal the burnt skin of the Earth. Terraces, ponds, dams, swales, keylines, blessed rain. Water, essence of life. Thank you, family, for the birth, the learning, the growth, the letting go, the dream, the experience, the shedding of skin, the hope. Pounding the drum, hawling to the moon, flying across the trees I give thanks and welcome the grace. There where one new Earth Guardian was born, many now stand and many more will come. #defendthesacred #earthweareone #gaia #lovefortheearth #gravito #portugal #afterthefire #reforestationproject #reforestation #regenerativeagriculture #agroforestry #forestgardening #permaculture #permacultureportugal #purelove #drummingcircle #earthguardians #interbeing #restorationagriculture

Portugal Part 1 Family is something greater than parents and siblings. Family is an extension of the heart, the body, the mind, the soul. Family is reciprocal support, unconditional love, irrational excitement. In Lisbon area, a group 6 brotherly friends gathered togetger to support the conception of a new space where humans can grow, and learn how to grow, in harmony with nature and with the self. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for the connection. Thank you for the inspiration. "We are all in it together" #permaculture #healing #responsibleliving #oneness #brotherhood #friendship #interbeing #healtheearth #weareone #gaia #portugal #community #sadhana #selflessservice #growingtogether #oliveharvest

Many days full of magic, surprise and inspiration have passed. Super Teresa came to help finishing off the sowing and mulching of the last of the three swales - fantastic job! The swales fill up more and for longer with each rain, and all seeds have sprouted and the cover crop is growing vigorously! Then beautiful Nico joined us and the mushrooms hunt started 🙏 Abundance of edible wild mushrooms from the forest keeps us wanting to explore our connection with each tree, each plant, each den, each insect and, of course, each mushroom! 🍁 What a joy to feast on them cooked on a bonfire! ... and to write down our dreams, share them and burn them in the fire? Unforgettable... It's not so easy to put in words the depth of the experience of being out in the forest, meeting deers, badgers, eagles, spotting boars' tracks and feeling so replenished, at home, safe. And yet nature keeps providing. Harvesting firewood every day for the upcoming colder days. On this note we only harvest wood that has already been cut and left behind by 'forest management interventions' or from fallen trees after last years heavy storms. No need to fell trees around here for few years :) And last but not least the spectacle each day gifts us with at sunset. The last picture speaks for itself... #livinginnature #naturalliving #livingintheforest #mushrooms #swales #foodforest #forestgardening #temperateforest #volunteers #support #natureconnection #natureconservation #responsibleliving #sustainability #chainsaw #varsi #valceno #appenninotoscoemiliano #appenini #sunset #nofilter #reforestation #permaculture #sustainableliving
