El Manzano sets out to build a campus of the great reskilling, implementing a permaculture master plan, and a summer of bioconstruction. So ends a cycle of change, and another cycle begins.
Since 2009 we have been working on the plans to make El Manzano a world class centre for sustainable education that equips people with the values, knowledge and skills needed to make the transition from an unsustainable growth culture to resilient human communities. As we begin
to attract more and more visitors students and interns our facilities
are often found to be lacking, and not of a quality befitting a green campus.
The house of Miguel was almost finished this weekend, with a final layer of fine plaster going up. The windows are in, the doors are on their hinges, and Miguel almost the proud owner of a handmade house. Replete with frescoes on the wall, this little piece of art may be here in another century as a relic of our story, testament to the ethic of collaboration, of a local, national and international community coming together to help one man achieve his aspirations.
The Transition movement is alive and well in Chile, the weekend workshop of 7/8/2010 delivered by Mauricio Deliz was well attended by a broad mix of people from initiatives around the nation.

The shortest day of the year in Chile and the rain is coming down. It is cold and wet. As we celebrate the new year and the return of the sun, thousands of people in the surrounding region are living in government supplied shacks....affectionately termed ´´Mediagua´´ or half water. Most of them are leaking with the rain, and the wind is coming in. You can find photos here.
This is the second story from the learning process in Millenrama. You can read the first here.
The week 5-9th of May 2010 team El Manzano was hosted in Millenrama, Mantagua, 5th region to run an Applied Permaculture Design course.
As El Manzano tests ideas for assisting people and communities to engage in transition and design for resilient human settlements, the team develops competency in the delivery of catalytic learning events, in facilitation and leadership by design. As the experience is reviewed once again it is confirmed that there is no power equal to a community deciding what it will become.
