It is a residential village that will house up to 120 people on a 30-hectare plot of land with wooded glades, orchards, and wide open fields. It is located on the outskirts of Belén de Escobar, just north of Buenos Aires City.

Our community welcomes adults with disabilities, neurodivergent individuals, temporary volunteers, and long-term collaborators. Each person has a role and responsibilities within their home and in the community. Residents will live in shared houses designed to foster mutual support and built according to sustainable architectural practices.

The activities currently offered at El Cauce keep pace with construction progress and focus on developing autonomy and social connections through shared work and artistic encounters.

The expanse of El Cauce offers plentiful wooded areas and fruit orchards, interspersed with fields ready for livestock farming and vegetable gardens, as well as our own beehives.

We are currently constructing the first life-sharing homes, workshops, and social spaces here. There will be an extensive biodynamic vegetable garden and a dairy. There will also be carpentry and other crafting workshops, a bakery and a food prep space for making preserves and packaging honey.

The fields and orchards will be cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic farming, using but eco-friendly preparations that preserve the natural balance between soil, plants and animals and no chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

Plans include multi-use spaces where we will host courses and seminars in areas of interest, such as social therapies, biodynamic agriculture and beekeeping, eurythmy, art therapy.

A key component of community life is social interaction, and the yearly calendar features events and celebrations marking the achievements and joys of our members, the passing of the seasons and cycles of nature, and the fruits of our shared labor as we work the land.

Another essential aspect is fostering a healthy spiritual life. We believe that each person has a unique purpose, and these gifts are revealed when we really see one another and develop sincere relationships.

Healthy and harmonious interactions and working together in concert with nature are conducive to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

El propósito de la vida humana es servir y mostrar compasión y voluntad de ayudar a los demás.

Nunca dudes que un pequeño grupo de ciudadanos comprometidos puede cambiar el mundo. De hecho, es lo único que lo haya logrado.
