Viv'Aérium

Welcome to Aérium, A Transformative Ecovillage Aérium is more than just a community; it’s a living experiment in collective transformation, grounded in principles of trust, authenticity, and shared learning. As an ecovillage, we aim to create a sustainable and inclusive way of life while fostering personal and collective growth. Our Vision: Transform Through Cooperation We believe in the power of authentic cooperation to transform individuals and communities. By living together intentionally, we cultivate trust and depth in our relationships, creating an environment where everyone can thrive and grow. The Three Pillars of Aérium : 1. Caring for Relationships: Living together requires open communication, mutual understanding, and the ability to address differences constructively. At Aérium, we prioritize taking care of our relationships by using tools and practices such as: >Restorative Circles >ZEGG Forums >Playfight >Authentic Relating >Internal Family Systems (IFS) >Breathwork >ProcessWork We also celebrate together through songs, dances, collective games, and dedicated "We-Care Weeks" to strengthen our bonds. 2. Clear and Transparent Structure : Aérium operates as a Cooperative Society of Collective Interest (SCIC), managing both the land and the activities on-site. Decisions are made democratically, following the principles of sociocracy and holacracy. Roles are distributed based on individual skills and interests, using inclusive methods like "election without candidates." The onboarding process for new members is rigorous and includes validation from the entire community to ensure alignment with our values. 3. Fostering Learning : We see learning as a lifelong and collective process. To continuously grow, we: Embrace feedback culture and structured reflection practices. Invite external facilitators for ongoing training. Share our knowledge through tools like the "Koolectif" cooperation card game and a published book on cooperation. At Aérium, we believe that inventing a new way of living requires a commitment to daily learning and the courage to explore new horizons. Holistic Transformation: Alchemy of Growth Our goal is to create conditions for holistic transformation, encompassing emotional, relational, physical, artistic, and social dimensions. By embracing our emotions, bodily sensations, intuitions, beliefs, and wounds, we reveal the gold within each of us, fostering profound individual and collective growth. An Oasis of Hope : Inspired by Pierre Rabhi’s concept of "Oasis," Aérium is a beacon of hope in a world marked by social disconnection, power struggles, and a loss of connection to nature. We aim to create abundance, conviviality, and well-being for all through ecological, intergenerational, and solidarity-driven practices. Aérium in Practice, Our daily life is shaped by: Workshops on self-development, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution. Activities that connect us to nature, like gardening, outdoor exploration, and sustainable living practices. Collective celebrations, dances, and music that nurture joy and unity. Programs that encourage innovation and inspire others to create their own transformative communities. Join Us At Aérium, we are redefining what it means to live together in harmony with ourselves, each other, and the planet. Together, we are inventing a new way of being, where trust, authenticity, and learning lead the way. Explore our vision, be part of our journey, and let’s build a brighter future together.
