ACTIVITIES
Deep Time Walk :
A Deep Time Walk is a transformative journey through 4.6 billion years of Earth history via a 4.6 km walk, where each metre you walk equates to 1 million years. It provides a deep experience that invites participants to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and collective advocacy for a regenerative Earth.
A « head-heart-body » experience that combines science, movement and the sensations of connection with the richness of our ancestral heritage.
Starting at the formation of the solar system and the creation of Earth, a Deep Time Walk covers some of the most significant events and key revolutions in Earth’s deep history, including the formation of the Moon, the oceans, the atmosphere, the early evolution of single-celled life, plate tectonics, multicellular life, the Cambrian Explosion, mass extinctions, dinosaurs and right at the end, our own species, humans.
Introduction to Permaculture :
This introduction to permaculture is meant for the novice and the professional alike, with no prior experience necessary. For the person new to permaculture design and land stewardship, this session will provide a foundation from which to build upon with subsequent training, and introduce a new perspective that can be applied in many careers and facets of life.
For the gardener, farmer, nurseryman, architect, landscaper, land manager, developer, engineer, aid worker, planner or activist, this session can help to deepen and focus the good work you’re already doing, and provide a grounding in the permaculture design process that you can apply right now. The session is not teaching specific techniques as much as a system and process of design which can be used to enhance work in many different fields.
Our aim is to elevate permaculture design further into mainstream knowledge and discussions so this valuable design system can be used to transition civilization to a future with clean water, safe and abundant food, renewable energy and resources, healthy watersheds, and prosperous people and ecosystems.
Forest bathing :
Forest bathing is an immersion in the forest or a natural environment, accompanied by a guide to facilitate « letting go » and reconnect with one’s self and the natural world. We could define it this way, « wrap yourself up in well-being making use of our senses and the natural world during an immersion in the forest ».
A forest bathing session is a process in which forest-based activities, called invitations, improve the mental and physical health of participants.
During a forest bathing session you will practice invitations proposed by your guide, such as connecting to your multiple senses, breathing, contemplation, slowness, creativity, sharing during talking circle, silence and listening to nature… and a session will always be different according to our feelings, the weather, the season, the group, and especially the forest and its natural environment.
No specific physical aptitude is needed, and forest bathing is beneficial for everyone.
Who are we ?
Las Cabañas de Las Lomas is an ecological center to live in harmony with our planet, living beings and also to connect with oneself. Las Lomas is located between San Pancho and Lo de Marcos and a 20-minute walk from the beach, in the Bahía de Banderas Municipality of the state of Nayarit in the protected natural area (ANP) of the Sierra de Vallejo.
The construction of Las Cabañas de Las Lomas has been completed respecting the area and no trees were cut down. On the contrary, we planted more than 300 trees and bushes to enjoy flowers or fruits and we continue planting to bring even more diversity. In addition, the creation of a lagoon allows us to house more plants and wildlife.
We also produce vegetables and fruits in our vegetable garden and orchard, and we provide the kitchen which can accommodate 12 people or more on the terrace in order to share a healthy and delicious meal. The living room and its terrace will allow you to relax and enjoy a book, a board game or listen to the constant, wonderful and endless symphony of the natural world.
Below are our main commitments :
- Promoting biodiversity : we welcome all living species in order to preserve the biosphere. And for this, we limit the use of electrical and telephone devices or other wireless devices to protect ourselves from irreversible damage to the Living.
- Zero waste : this principle brings together the traditional values of frugality and attention to material goods, the modern concern about pollution and the more radical perspective that considers waste as resources and opportunities.
- Resilience and self-sufficiency : happy sobriety, simplicity, rainwater harvesting, renewable energies, permaculture gardening.
- Circular economy : dry toilets, recycling, compost.
- Green mobility : promoting walking, cycling, public transport or carpooling.
- Transition Movement : starting a Transition project.
