El Encuentro is a Holistic Healing Center dedicated to improve health: physical, mental, environmental and social.
After the huge fire in Sierra de Gata (Cáceres) Centro el Encuentro has suffered a wound in his heart.
We are willing to find new energy and support to continue growing in this humanistic project that offered space and experiences to families, workers and users, environmental associations and people needing healing and reconnection with themselves and Nature.
The fateful afternoon of Thursday, August 6 began in the term of Acebo, a devastating fire that destroyed almost 8000ha in terms of Acebo, Hoyos and Perales del Puerto.
It is in this last municipality, Perales, where is located Centro el Encuentro. On the morning of August 7 came tongues of fire, which moved by a strong and gusty wind swept through the kitchen, family home, office, workshop and coop... Luckily 75% of the project, 5 accommodation yurts , a group activities yurt , the therapy room, bathrooms, toilets and most of the forest remained intact.
We start this crowdfunding to raise funds and support to enable us to reconstruct the lost and reborn from our ashes with renewed strength to raise up with more energy, enthusiasm and confidence.
Our purpose is to support people that need a change in their lives, that are searching for healing.
We are focused on all those who see in the recovery and health improvement a path to reach balance with themselves and their natural and social environment.
Our dream for this space has been to create a small paradise to share our life and professional experiences to promote a healthful, conscious and sustainable living
