El Cauce is a joint initiative developed by people and organizations who share the same beliefs and values about community living as a way of helping to fulfill life purpose, linked to the anthroposophic network in Argentina.

El Cauce is the first project to be developed by Fundación Respirar Comunidad, a non-profit organization created in 2019 that draws its inspiration from the Camphill Movement. The objective is to create an inclusive, shared-living community for adults in Argentina.

Our partners and allies in this venture are: La Cañada, a group of agricultural experts with 15 years’ experience in biodynamic farming in the province of Buenos Aires, who have also developed sustainable gardening programs for different organizations in the area; eminent psychiatrists, psychologists and educators with many years’ experience in the Waldorf education network in South America; eurythmists, art and musical therapists specializing in rhythm, sound and movement; architects working in the area of sustainable architecture; and counselors and coaches with expertise in social and inclusive entrepreneurship.

To build a community that is sustainable in both economic and social terms, founded on openness, sharing and harmony with nature; with an emphasis on self-management, personal responsibility and organic growth.

To offer community members the support and space they need to develop and fulfill their potential, in a context of mutual

respect and collaboration, finding meaning in shared purposeful work as the basis for a balanced social and cultural life. 

To offer a lifestyle whose qualities emanate from the shared values of a community united by the search for the common good, where everyone can take part and benefit from sustainable activities in all forms

A community made up of people who share a well-grounded respect for work and social relations, where each individual has the room to grow and develop their potential.
A place whose heart beats in time with the rhythm of the land and the seasons, whose inhabitants profoundly value and care for the natural resources that support them.

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

ALBERT SCHWEITZER

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