There is a legend that says that the time when the condor and the eagle will fly together will come. A time of integration, where north and south, technology and tradition, rural and urban, young and old, will work together towards building a new world. A time where polarities merge towards higher systems. This time has come to us. Working with Springhouse towards designing the learning ecosystem we dream for this Colombian mountains is an expression of this legend. A cross-cultural collaboration towards building learning communities that provide environments for life to flourish. Springhouse is a manifestation of what we have imagined, providing inspiration and concrete resources to materialize what we have dreamt.
