Learning to retain water to regenerate the land
A few days ago, we took part in one of those workshops that remind us why we love getting together to learn from one another so much. We filled all the available places and shared a day full of conversation, knowledge-sharing and reflection on how we can better care for the landscapes we inhabit.

Learning to Work Together: First Facilitation Workshop at Semillistas with Pasos.
At Semillistas, we often say that nature doesn’t plant trees—it sows seeds. And the same goes for organizations. A team isn’t built overnight; it’s nurtured, cared for, and allowed to grow. That’s why, every now and then, we need to stop and look inward.

Seeds that travel, roots that remain
Last week we bid farewell to our group of European volunteers after two months of living together, learning, and working side by side in the region. These have been intense weeks in which people from different corners of …
Workshop on Seed Improvement and Germination in Almócita
On October 18, 2025, we were in Almócita to lead an in-person workshop on seed improvement and germination for use in fruit and vegetable production. It was a training session in which we delved into the processes that activate, strengthen, and optimize the potential of seeds before planting.
