Project Rainbow childhood: Energy, matter and vibration
The "Rainbow Childhood: Matter, Energy, and Vibration" Project aims to stimulate self-awareness (of the physical, vital, emotional, intellectual, social, and environmental/cultural aspects) in children aged 3 to 14 through the languages of art, technology, science, and the environment in multicultural actions that seek to unite ancestral and contemporary knowledge and practices, enabling these individuals to make positive future contributions to the environments they inhabit.

The house was still a zone, we lived in tents, without bathroom, a shower, construction work scattered everywhere, floors still with bamboo slats...Finally, we felt like we were a hurricane. Constantly IContinue reading
Learning to speak is learning to listen
To see in Spanish, click here. As Mirra Alfassa said: “to truly be able to express oneself for 10 seconds, a person would have to remain silent for an entire day. (…) Thus, to be able to speak for 10 minutes, a person would have to remain silent for an entire year.” In recent years, I have reflected a lot on “knowing how to speak,” “knowing how to communicate,”,Continue reading
