Project Summary

The Cortijo (Farm/Hamlet) Los Baños, where the Oasis Al Hamam is located has existed for 100s of years, and there is ample archeological evidence that it served as a spa in Roman times, and as a health and agricultural centre during the Arab colonization, Al Hamam is Arabic for Los Baños. Oasis Al Hamam is much more than a physical space: it is a dream that has grown with each person who has formed a part of this vision. It is a community of creative souls who contribute their talents to build together a place of transformation. Here, families, children and people with diverse concerns live together, integrating spirituality, ecology and community life. Since its inception, respect for the land has been fundamental. The rehabilitation of the cortijo, the expansion of the organic gardens, reforestation, and animal care have created a sustainable ecosystem, where each person contributes their essence to continue growing and co-creating together. Oasis Al Hamam is also a school of life, offering courses and retreats focused on personal development, art, health and permaculture. It also welcomes children and young people to learn about rural traditions and sustainable living. We also welcome those seeking awareness and connection with nature. Here, spiritual practice transcends each religion, to focus on the common essence: manifesting “love in action” in the present . This is a sacred space where you learn to feel Mother Earth in every step, to celebrate life at its best and to discover your own purpose. It is a place where dreams blossom and their seeds transform the world.

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.
