People living in an
environment which is chaotic in its depth and doesn't function creatively.
There is an established way to adapt oneself to survive. This means mainly
not looking at causes and backgrounds including one's own, suppressing
one's reactions and using established ways to cover and compensate, including
substitutes, surrogates and all kind of manipulations. That's the adapted
usual way of society to deal with chaos...
To say it precisely
and to bring it to a point: Our main intention and the most important is,
that we see outside circumstances as a mean for gaining insight
and it is not important WHAT we do on the practical outside level, but
THAT WE RELATE to what shows up, from inside or from outside, dealing with
whatever this might be. Our personal reactions which are appearing during
this process are a significant part of our 'relating' and are an important
part of our 'survival training'. We are experiencing, that exactly those
reactions are provoked in each individual, which then serve to recognize
one's unconscious conditioned background structure. This is real work and
sometimes harder than to move stones or pallets...
The fact, that in
FalconBlanco 'learning' goes much further than practicing gardening, recycling,
Biodiesel production and other practical things, is obviously attracting
people.
But we must make it
very clear that 'surviving' means: to survive into a new dimension beyond
one's old personality. To make this possible, the 'Stress Release Exercise'
is an essential part of the daily routine and who is not willing to participate
daily and regularly should not come to FalconBlanco.
There is food and
work for 20 people and we can also lodge about this number. Who wants to
come and in case there is no more room available, can build one's own shelter.
We are talking Spanish,
English and German.
One critical comment
we need to add: If you want 'your comfort', that's reasonable, and if this
is the most important for you, then you better look for another place.
Comfort would mean that you expect to have what you are used and that you
are not willing to explore a different life style with different values.
One must be willing to confront unexpected situations and circumstances
and must be especially willing to deal with it in a creative way, at least
wanting to find out about it.
PS: The 'survival training'
at FalconBlanco goes through all levels: Practical/fisical, emotional,
mental and spiritual. It is a process, individually and as a group and
steps are taken, unfolding themselves, one after the other. In the first
place we LIVE, and we welcome all as part of our learning process, so that
we can relate and respond to whatever shows up...
