Art exhibition, Gastronomic fair About Tota Lake - In this vast natural lake of 22,370 hectares, there is a precious treasure, preserved in the stories of the Muiscas that inhabit this territory. With a storage capacity of 1,900 million cubic meters, this place is one of the most extensive watershed nationally and the second in South America.However, the problems surrounding the lake are several:&nbsp;What are the qualities and values that are most important to us?&nbsp;Healthy balanced relationships, a solid loving community, willingness to work toward the greater good for all including people, plants, animals, Minerals, micro-organisms, soil, water, fire and air.&nbsp;What are the things we don’t want to see harmed or lessened in any way?&nbsp;Quality of loving compassionate relationshipsQuality of the natural ecosystem and the native animals. air soil or water,.&nbsp;&nbsp;What would we take a stand for?&nbsp;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We would take a stand for what we feel is best for all, to thrive optimally in a healthy balanced environment.&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the elemental resources to be protected and respected above all because they are the foundations that allow all life to flourish, (water, air, earth and sun/fire).&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Next is the natural ecosystem because it is like the frame of the structure that allows for great biodiversity where many species are able to coexist in harmony, (the microbiome of the soil to feed the diverse plant species, the diverse plants to give food shelter and material for all the animals and people, the native animals who disperse seeds and give food to plants, other animal, and people.)&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Allow all people the right to a part of the abundance in a healthy balanced way where we can all be keepers and creators in respect to all life.&nbsp;General GoalsGoals are statements of desire — of what we want, what we hope to achieve by realizing our intention. Goals should be doable and reachable — or at least some should be if a group wants to survive and thrive. So goals are often more specific and time bound than visions or even intentions.So groups need small and large goals, short-term and long-term goals.&nbsp;&gt;&gt;What are some of the goals and activities that we want to realize <ul><li>Integral Experiences, Food Sovereignty, Protection, Conservation &amp; EcoLogical Restoration and ReGeneration.</li></ul> <ul><li>To manage, propose and carry out any other action that can contribute to the promotion of the inter-cultural bio-tourism of the World, especially through the creation of new services, events and experiences of growth, recreation and leisure at a personal, familiar and collective level."</li></ul>&nbsp;<ul><li>Earthen structures to hold and slow the flow of water: (ponds, water holes, swales, berms, stone walls, dams, ditches, pits,&nbsp;terraces, hugelkultur mounds, raised beds.)</li></ul>&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restoration of the soil: (mulch, wood chips, leaves, logs, manure, planting of bioaccumulators, nitrogen fixers, tap rooting plants)&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restoration of natural ecosystems: (clearing of undesirable/invasive species, Mass plantings of native perennials and trees, microclimates/ecosystems for diverse species.)&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Built structures: (fence, trellises, walls, houses/shelter, tool shed, chicken coop/chicken run, driveway, sweatlodge, kusmui) Planting food through BioDynamic Agriculture for a clean (agroecological), diverse and nutritious production.EcoSystem Protection, Conservation and Regeneration Sanctuaries &gt;&gt; Resources, skills, allies and knowledge to achieve these goals? <ul><li>As much as Land as posible to stop the Industrial Crops keep Destroying the EcoSystem.</li><li>Resources and tools: barbed wire, posts, post driver, post digger, shovel, staples, chainsaw</li><li>Skills &amp; knowledge: permaculture principles, planning and management, ecology, water/irrigation and land management practices, carpentry, stone masonry.</li><li>Building materials for</li><li>Build the houses of the people who wants to live there as Sacred EartH keepers </li><li>Create spaces for all kind of Education and Cultural Gatherings</li><li>Create a garden and a greenhouse for self sustainable nourishment</li><li>Create a traditional house of wisdOm and space</li><li>Rehabilitating the natural habitat to restore biodiversity and natural balance</li><li>Create a food forest that is integrated into the natural surrounding habitat and for sustaining a community with food, medicine, and construction materials</li></ul> Human Resources<ul><li>PermaCultural Development Team</li><li>Enviromental Activists and Artists.</li><li>MultiMedia &amp; Production Team</li><li>Integral Wise Elders, Pedagogues and Teachers in General</li></ul>
