LIFE CHANGE
Why transition to a life in the wild?
Healthier life
Happiest childhood
connection with nature
Guarantee our dignity and autonomy in the five essential areas of our lives: food, housing, water, health and mobility.
The relief we feel when we arrive at places with preserved native vegetation is a sample of the well-being that a natural place provides.
Nature operates through ecosystemic processes. Living disconnected from these processes affects our health.
"What they call nature should be the interaction of our body with the surroundings, in which we know where well what we eat, where the air we exhale goes. Beyond the idea of "I am nature", the awareness of being alive should cross us so that we are able to feel that the river, the forest, the wind and the clouds are our mirror in life - Allan Savory
FOR A HEALTHIER LIFE
When we are in urban environments, we have a high level of dissonance with nature. we lost theacuity sensory, presence, attention. We live in places that are not fit for our survival. We use fossil fuels to adapt the environment to build more comfort, increasing our laziness, in an artificial energy efficiency. Nature operates through ecosystemic processes. Living disconnected from these processes affects our health.
From a certain number of population density, the physiological functions of individuals are impaired. This is the dissonance of disconnection, which we don't even notice anymore.
To resolve this, we need ecological literacy, and the humility to understand that we evolved within harmonic integral systems (with ecological processes working very well).
Urban living creates this disconnection in us, which manifests itself through symptoms such as depression, anxiety, obesity, etc. The relief we feel when we arrive in places with preserved native vegetation is a sample of dissonance resolution.
TO MAKE OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES VIABLETHE AND GRANDCHILDREN
Society as we know it is in crisis. We have several challenges common to societies that have already collapsed in history, such as deforestation and destruction of habitats, salinization and soil erosion, problems with the management of water resources, predatory hunting, predatory fishing, problems caused by introduced species, rampant population growth and per capita impact growth. Furthermore, we still need to deal with anthropogenic climate change, the accumulation of chemical toxins, energy shortages and the complete utilization of the planet's photosynthetic capacity.
Neoliberalism seeks to increase efficiency. But blindly increasing efficiency ends up depleting natural resources and is not sustainable. This is how industrial agriculture works. They see rural properties as a production line, not a living organism/system. View pests as problems, not indicators. The proposed solutions come within a shallow sustainability logic. Knowing that the system is going to collapse, the powers that be start to implement marketing plans so that people replace some of these habits, even more so in the same mechanistic logic, seeking to increase efficiency. Substitution is employed, replacing biological inputs instead of chemical ones, but maintaining the industrial logic of agriculture, which does not regenerate the dignity of man in the countryside.
We need to redesign systems, take advantage of these moments of crisis to come together and guarantee our dignity and autonomy in the five essential areas of our lives: food, housing, water, health and mobility.
Ultimately, the only wealth that can sustain any community, economy or nation is derived from the photosynthetic process. Green plants growing in a soil being regenerated.

HOW TO MAKE THE TRANSITION?
We need to redesign our habits, resume collective protagonism and resume our natural instinct and curiosity, study and self-development in order to be able to think autonomously.
We need to strengthen our vocations and be the expression of our potential in the world.
We need to understand what real needs are, not desires that were implemented in people by the corporate world, and how we can meet these needs in an energetically surplus way, which regenerates the dignity of people and the ecosystems we live in.
We have been reduced to consumers by the current system, but we need to regain the various dimensions of our being, including being productive, so that our lives are useful for the people around us and for the system in which we are inserted.
The illusion of disconnection, which is maintained by urban life, which in turn is maintained by fossil fuels, makes us sick. In this redesign, we began to see these imbalances in the health of our bodies and production systems as an opportunity to seek a cure by resolving the root causes of the problems and not just fighting the symptoms.
To redesign our lives, we need to understand in much more depth how nature works so that when meeting our needs, these areas are met by activities that regenerate ecosystem services.
"We abuse the Earth because we consider it a commodity that belongs to us. When we see the land as a community to which we belong, we begin to use it with love and respect. - Ald Leopold
