To take care of the land and to take care of people,
to take care of space and to take care of time.
Flores de Vida’s key words: Consciousness et Regeneration
To bring consciousness into our life
* what I experience (joy, anger, peace…)
* what I generate around me (conflicts, tensions, harmony…)
* the waste that I produce… or not (am I a polluter?)
* what I put in my body and on my body (with what do I feed and take care of my body?)
To take the path of Regeneration
* to give our body the right food, corresponding to its physiological needs.
* to move, dance, sing, laugh… and make each day a springboard towards real well-being.
* to take care of our environment and thus participate in its regeneration as much as in ours.
* to link the external Ecology and the internal Ecology, and to take the path of wholeness… on the way towards Global Ecology and the Regeneration of the Human Being in all its aspects. …
… and that induces 2 other key words: Peace (inside) and Joy (without reason).
To take care of the land means understanding that everything is connected and understanding that the life and health of the soil, of trees, of animals and of humans are interdependent. Wonderful tools and techniques are at our disposal: natural agriculture and permaculture, solar and wind energy (active and passive), dry toilets and phyto-purification, eco-construction and recycling…
At Flores de Vida we choose to respect the land in all its aspects.
To take care of people means taking care of yourself and others, and taking care of your body.
* It means giving your body exercise, rest, sun, simple and healthy food…
* It means learning to communicate, listen and speak.
* It means kindly watching over our little brothers the animals… and not eating them!
At Flores de Vida we choose to embark on the path of deep communication with ourselves and with others, and to use communication tools made available to us: Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Benevolent Communication…
We choose to simply eat the fruits and vegetables that nature so generously offers us, without drugs of any kind or animal products.
We choose to take care of our body.
To take care of space means creating a place that is beautiful, clean and orderly, flowery and artistic, a place where energy flows freely, a living place.
* It means taking care of collective spaces as well as individual spaces.
* It means ensuring that living spaces, work sites and activity areas are pleasant, clean and tidy places, where you want to spend time.
At Flores de Vida we choose art and beauty as environment, and respect for individual and collective spaces.
To take care of time means living with cosmic cycles – Winter / Summer, day / night, solar and lunar cycles…
* It means balancing activity and rest, meditation and time for sharing.
* It means being active when necessary, while preciously preserving the joy that gives all its value to the work accomplished, and to sit down when it is right.
* It means keeping time for yourself, and time for the group and group activities.
At Flores de Vida we choose to turn time into a work of art and use the time we have to create an increasingly beautiful and radiant world.
« Time is art »
Coming to Flores de Vida, whether for 1 day, 1 month, 1 year or more, means committing to doing your best in all these areas, and to participate in the creation of this place of peace, of open consciousness and beauty.
Each person is invited to participate at their own level in the collective work, according to their abilities. The place and the activities are managed jointly – each person has the possibility of participating in decisions according to their involvement in the project.
Everything is connected
At Flores de Vida, the proposition is to progress towards understanding and perceiving the wholeness of life, the evidence that everything is found in everything. The body, the mind, the emotions, our daily life and our environment are inextricably linked, they are reflections of each other, so that each element can be both a diagnostic tool and a healing tool. If I have a problem at the physical level, for example, it also indicates a problem at the psycho-emotional level, and if I have a relationship problem, it indicates that there is a dysfunction at the bodily level as well. The good news is that I can progress towards healing from any of these aspects, always taking into account the wholeness of who I am, what I think, and what I do.
And be Life Beautiful and Joyful
