Árbol del Sur School + Nature Reserve

We work in the following areas:

Sol Carrizo y Juan Pablo Pelacini

Co fundadores de la ONG Arbol del Sur y la Reserva Natural Quebrada de Palmar

En el 2018 sentimos que el proyecto pedía afincarse en un lugar que nos permitiera desarrollar nuestra tarea inmersos en la gran escuela que es la sabiduría de la Naturaleza. Soñamos en aquel entonces con un espacio donde poder transmitir a los jóvenes el respeto y el cuidado por la flora y la fauna, el cuidado del monte nativo y la valoración de los recursos naturales como medio de subsistencia.
El lugar para desarrollar este sueño, sabíamos que se encontraba en la Provincia de San Luis, pero no exactamente dónde. Realizamos algunos viajes de exploración para conocer cuál podría ser el posible futuro de radicación del proyecto, hasta que finalmente, por algunos azares del destino, dimos con la localidad de San Francisco del Monte de Oro. Me atrevo a decir que “sentimos una especie de llamado de las Sierras”, y al llegar al lugar donde nos encontramos hoy, el sentimiento de búsqueda

​​​​

​Y por supuesto este Árbol del Sur es posible GRACIAS a un equipo interdisciplinario de personas proveniente de distintos sectores, pero aunados por una gran vocación por la educación con bases y fundamentos en la sabiduría de la Naturaleza, Árbol del Sur nace en el año 2014, como una  respuesta a la modernidad en medio de una crisis ambiental promoviendo valores sociales, resignificando y revalorizando saberes ancestrales junto a prácticas milenarias que conducen a una relación de equilibrio y armonía con la Naturaleza.

Our vision
Our mission
Our goals

We aim to promote human potential development through social learning processes by building a connection between ancient and modern knowledge based on Nature’s wisdom.

We aim to provide new meaning and value to indigenous and ancient wisdom by preserving values oriented towards a systemic approach concerning the human/nature unit to raise increased socio-environmental awareness.

We aim to build a School of Ancient Wisdom to raise a generation of young Guardians of Nature who can develop sustainable projects through the recovery of forgotten handmade artisan techniques to generate a sustainable circular economy to strengthen their local economy.

SOCIAL ACTION IN SAN MARTÍN JAIL (only available in Spanish)

We provide inmates with self-knowledge processes that help them to deal better with the time they have to spend in prison, which also results in better physical, mental and spiritual health. The goal is to help them deal with difficult situations inside jail with faith and optimism. Through Tai Chi lessons, they work their will and they acquire knowledge concerning their own skills to sustain themselves by being conscious that they are responsible for their own comprehensive development process.

Social Action

Árbol del Sur was born in 2014 to provide young people with a framework to affirm their individual selves inside the community by means of experiential workshops and gatherings.  

 

2016 - 2019 | Social Action Program in San Martín Jail, Unit Number 48 (Penal San Martín, unidad nro. 48)

Our work spread through marginalized areas and we successfully developed Árbol del Sur’s Social Action Program for three consecutive years, which provided inmates with
self-knowledge tools and Tai Chi lessons (ancient practice consisting of physical, mental and spiritual training) that helped them to improve their lives. Also, we conducted artistic works such as three murals painted in the prison yard of wing number 11. The paintings showed the cultural value that native animals, such as the condor, puma and snake, hold for indigenous communities.

2017 - 2019 | Social Action Program in elementary schools

We hosted a workshop called “Los pueblos indígenas y su relación con la Naturaleza” (Indigenous Communities and their Relationship with Nature) for students of private and public elementary schools of the province of Buenos Aires. It aimed to help boys and girls to feel part of Nature and to recognize how their actions can transform the environment.
