Dezentralized Living Community

PART II. In early 2021 FamiliaFeliz received a message from Eric, a belgium father of a daugther, interested in community life. He explained that the original project was to set up a ecovillage project in eastern Spain. Surprisingly he was working on this project in the neighbour village since 3 years and we never met. In his request he pointed out, that there was a second family from the netherlands and they also like the idea to put roots in the soul of “El Maestrazgo”, the region around us. We confirmed a chat all together and you can listen the audio record. We added some photos of our living community. All photos are taken between 2016 and december 2020 in Cervera del Maestre in the CASAdelDRAGON and the color garden.

In 2021 many people are on their way to find the right plac, the right community, the new home. We had a chat with eric an his friends about wishes, dreams and some expectations about community life, especially ideas to settle in the castellon region in Spain. All photos where taken in the CASAdelDRAGON and in the color garden of Familiafeliz between march and june 2020... a short overview about community life in these times...

FamiliaFeliz is a decentralized community with a common economy. We share the idea of creating a social place for individual freedom and individual happiness. Analogous to Epicurus, we run a garden as the campus of a free university for informal education. It is our concern to give the visitors a peaceful space in which they can first find peace and then the strength to pursue their own ideas and projects. Social togetherness as the result of an individual decision, without a specific goal, without foresight, without benchmarks, it sounds like an invitation to paradise that is too good and many people doubt that it is possible to realize the coexistence of people in this world in this way. In this interview a father of three kids discover the challenge to meet us.
