Project Summary

Kilombo Tenondé recognizes the existence of new forms of oppression in modern, industrial society and provides a retreat from the numbness it creates; allows for re-generation of creativity, thought and purpose, and a chance to rebuild community structures that have eroded. O Kilombo Tenondé é um centro de atividades agropercológicas (agricultura, pecuária, ecologia e capoeira angola) que busca resgatar a filosofia e a importância histórica dos quilombos brasileiros. Seu objetivo maior é estimular a criatividade, o pensamento construtivo e os valores de convivência humana e harmonia com a natureza que, cada vez mais vêm sendo esquecidos pela sociedade.

Project Description

The seed of Kilombo Tenondé was planted hundreds of years ago in the Kilombos in Brazil. During Colonial times, African people organized self-sustaining communities of resistance to slavery and oppression based on fundamental principles of African ideologies. Supported by Native Brazilian Indigenous Peoples, the Kilombos grew to become a larger community of defiance against Colonial government. Mestre Cobra Mansa, (founder of the International Capoeira Angola Foundation, which has 20 official groups and many smaller seed groups across the world), started Kilombo Tenondé to welcome the involvement of all people to contribute and participate in the development of the projects listed below. Kilombo Tenondé Farm–Bonfim, Bahia (Near Valenca) The 80-acre Kilombo Tenondé farm, located in Bonfim, is being transformed into a fully self- sustaining, organic working farm based on the principles of sustainability and natural building construction. Through organized workshops as well as self-designed courses of study and community focused projects, participants will develop valuable skills, knowledge and abilities, while nourishing and strengthening their souls. Currently workshops are focusing on creating the infrastructure of both sites through sustainable building construction and permaculture. While these will continue into the future, the goal is to create the structure to support educational workshops, arts workshops and many other topics, that will arise from the members of Kilombo Tenondé over time. A área de aproximadamente 40 hectares do Kilombo Tenondé, localizado no povoado de Bonfim (a 22km de Valença/Bahia), vem sendo transformada em uma fazenda auto-sustentável. Os trabalhos acontecem organicamente, de acordo com as demandas e possibilidades do espaço e o interesse dos participantes, com base nos princípios da sustentabilidade, agricultura orgânica e construção natural. A prática e a experiência com a natureza nutrem e dão força à nossa linha de trabalho e espírito. Eventos, oficinas e atividades frequentes são realizadas com foco na criação de infra-estrutura e modelos de tecnologias alternativas de construção e uso dos recursos de forma sustentável. Com a continuidade dessa infra-estrutura no futuro, o objetivo é dar suporte a projetos educativos, artísticos e ambientais, desenvolvidos por integrantes do Kilombo Tenondé ao longo do tempo. Nossos Princípios: Encontro entre Cultura e Natureza; Ancestralidade, que nas culturas de matriz africana e indígena está relacionada ao encontro com a Natureza, como lugar sagrado; Relações coletivas marcadas pela solidariedade, pluralidade e integração; Valorização do corpo, como lugar sagrado e cultural; Noção holística de desenvolvimento humano, onde corpo, mente, espírito e meio natural estão integrados.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
