This project is based on cooperation Center-Peripheric, where our experience is moved to the state of Amazonas, supplying and facilitating the support received with the Asociaçao dos Moradores da Vila de Céu de Mapiå (AMVCM) and Juruå. Through this project we hope to establish a flux of interchange with the populations of Mapiå and Juruå (Brasil). Each one that comes from there will receive formation in a specific workshop so as to be able to manage in his land with the knowledge acquired.

On the other hand, professionales fromhere will go to Mapiå and Juruå to offer formation, either in the composition of workshops or in other subjects of common interest.

It was in 1980 when we arrived to the small village of Cellers, an almost abandoned site ina valley of the county of Lerida, and here in this dry land of oak and olive, of silence and quiet, our compromise was slowly forged within an action of improving, ourselves as well as our receiving-giving qualities, offering in this way our drop of water in the process that the earth is actually crossing.

We are like a small labortory that finds it,s definition at each step taken, in our community ife, work social protection, etc… This is how we meet and orient ourselves each day:
--researching/working to stabilize a “solidary capital” that would help the development of our project of cultural exchange.
--receiving students and people that perceive the need of a deep change in our daily deeds and doings.
--being a facilitating bridge of an “exchange” of art and knowledge between populations

We started with a house and a few workshops that have received hundreds of people and pretend to follow, affirming the research with better means that favour self’valuation and respect between parts.

Many people have passed through the Cacao Workshop, leaving thier donation and receiving from the cacao its medicine, that force of the insight, generous and prosperous.

With the objective to waken to a conscious compromise and with the eagerness to recover the vision of work bound with the earth, we have worked with various native medicines, integrating and combining to maintain our objectives clear and coherent with our social project, the revaluation of the new rural world and the adaptation of its people actually, as apprentices of ancestral knowledge of a life in balance with the environment and co-educators of its citizens. The capability to protect and share our work and action in this society so as to reach a world brotherhood, recover the trust and the will in front of the big challenges for a dignified survival inside the new paradigm, with respect for Moter Earth as our host. And in this way help create a more stable, spiritual, and sustainable social change.

The Association “Terra Per La Terra” (Earth for the Eart) hopes to help our living together her and learn from the native populations abroad, from their medicine, their customs.
