General information
Adamá was born almost 3 years ago in a special environment in the south of Gran Canaria as a sustainable project. It was initially born as a family project and little by little it has been defined and consolidated as a community project. We are an entity that dreams of a world that fosters authentic and respectful relationships between human beings and nature.
We firmly believe in the need to protect natural spaces in the Canary Islands and in inspiring people to understand and value the deep meaning of caring for and respecting nature, both external and internal.
Our mission is to create a wild, sustainable and sacred space that promotes healing, learning, personal growth and the creation of a community and collaborative network.
Our values are freedom, care for the earth and people, respect, trust and sustainability.
ADAMA is a cultural and environmental association committed to creating a sustainable future, where harmony between humanity and nature is the fundamental pillar of our work and community.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
ADAMA Project:
- We combine a holistic approach, blending environmental sustainability with spiritual and personal development, creating a unique space for healing and learning in harmony with nature.
- We use sustainable construction methods and renewable energy sources to develop our infrastructure.
- We promote this space as a spiritual center that nurtures the community, offering a refuge for reflection, meditation, and personal growth with workshops, retreats, etc.
- We implement programs that allow the exchange of knowledge and experiences, serving the community and encouraging personal and ecological development.
- We dedicate ourselves to ecological stewardship of the land, ensuring sustainable practices that protect and nurture the natural environment.
Our project embraces a holistic vision, fostering deep connections between personal healing and caring for nature. We do not see ourselves as separate from the environment; we believe that by protecting it and seeking greener and more sustainable ways, we also care for ourselves.
We offer educational and volunteer opportunities that allow participants to actively immerse themselves in sustainable practices and community development. Creating a vibrant spiritual center, embedded in the heart of our project, sets us apart and promotes a conscious and deeply connected community.
Objectives:
- Develop infrastructure for workshops, trainings, and retreats that promote ecological awareness.
- Manage the land in an ecologically and sustainably manner.
- Establish and maintain a vibrant and networked spiritual center.
- Implement educational, training, volunteering, and exchange programs.
- Build meeting and accommodation spaces using sustainable construction methods and renewable energy.
Why this is important
ADAMA was born from the dream of a world where relationships between humans and nature are authentic and respectful. Our goal is to create a sanctuary that promotes sustainability and offers a refuge for healing, learning and personal growth.
Our motivation is to teach and cultivate new narratives about our relationship with the world and the way we inhabit nature. We want to transform extractivist and consumerist visions that destroy the environment into collaborative and mutually respectful approaches, where we recognize that we are an integral and interconnected part of nature.
This project is aimed at all those who seek a deeper connection with nature and wish to be part of a conscious community committed to sustainability. ADAMA invites all those who share our vision and values to join us in creating a more sustainable and harmonious future.
Individuals interested in healing and personal growth: Those who seek sacred and wild spaces where they can heal, learn and grow.
Educators and facilitators: Professionals who wish to use our facilities to provide workshops, trainings, and retreats focused on ecological awareness and personal development.
Volunteers and exchange program participants: Individuals willing to collaborate and learn through practical experiences in a sustainable environment.
Members of the spiritual community: Individuals looking for a spiritual center that promotes freedom, care for the earth and people, trust, sustainability, and respect.
Shon and Miryam met in the Platamor community 5 years ago, where they co-created this project, built a mud house and had a son. After three years, they decided to buy a piece of land in Gran Canaria to start their own path.
Shon has been creating and participating in alternative communities and spaces since 2018, developing a deep connection with nature.
