For the last two years I've been doing research in these issues, at the moment now I have more clarity on the process that I want to co-create. I'm transitioning from focused research to 100% practice. One of our objectives is to do these transformation process, communities of practice, free, that is why we are looking for funding.

The intention of our group is to practice our collective “superpowers” eroded by our modern culture: imagination, dialogue and collaboration. Our objective is to create communities of practice in the bio region of Xalapa, Coatepec and Xico, in the center of Mexico. At the same time, while practicing, we intend to collaborate with several collectives in the region to amplify our imaginaries, and our “feel-thinks”, together, to allow new future possibilities to emerge in our bioregion.

We acknowledge that systems change at an individual level, the smallest part of a human system, so every heart-mind changed counts.

I designed a “ToolBackpack” that aims to help communities in the journey to Eco we are inviting them to. Our main reflection at the present moment is that our modern culture demands an “inner pilgrimage”, not between places, but between ways of seeing, being and doing. The tool’s intention is to serve us as a guide for our inner transitions, this is done in local communities of practice.
