What did we do?
We explored and established some tried and tested tools which help groups co-create a culture of care, collaboration, transparency and freedom. We explored the design principles of permaculture through the lens of our personal and social lives and with games that show how much more fun and impactful it is to work together than work alone.
What did we gain?
Participants had the opportunity to observe themselves and others in a safe space. A space we all held together. A process that enhances perception and makes it much easier to recognize personal and collective "shadows" and deal with them. It also promotes a feeling of connection and strength, awakening the explorer and artist within. A solid basis was formed, not only for our temporary community but for the modules that followed as well, keeping motivation and engagement high!
Facilitator
Tina Lymberis (Kompostina)
Permaculturist, Eco-Artivist, Catalyst
I love living among people who are having fun and doing what they love! Since permaculture gave me the tools to achieve this in my own life, I started spreading it through my blog, the translation of a permaculture guide, a musical theatrical called Kompostopia and through facilitating tribe-building experiences in Greece.
My toolkit for guiding groups along their personal, social and environmental evolution includes Compassionate Communication, Permaculture, Sociocracy, Agile Learning, the Transition Movement, the Art of Hosting and the most primitive tools of social bonding: singing, dancing and playing!

Podcasts
We thought that producing a series of podcasts would help spreading the word, but also help participants digest the information gained. At the end of each module the thematic was briefly summarized and three questions where selected to be answered. Participants were split into seven different groups (according to language), consisting of four to six people each. The questions were:
- Compassionate Communication: How do we communicate compassion?
- Sociocracy and Holacracy as management practices: How can you apply Sociocracy in your real life (when you leave Stagones), in a bigger society?
- Regeneration: What will you take back from this experience or what do you wanna do after you have learned about these topics?
