about the community
COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION
Aberamentho means a word that becomes a thing, meaning the manifestation of reality through word. This self-sustaining community is based on principles of circular governance and collaboration among its members, trying to be an alternative social and economic option.
The community is in the province of Pastaza, in Ecuador, 40 kilometers from Puyo city. That is, it is located in the upper Amazon. It has a tropical temperature and rain throughout the year. The community has 15 hectares of land and inside it has streams and small waterfalls. It is ideal for agricultural production throughout the year, although its soils are complex to manage due to the high rainfall.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF THE ABERAMENTHO COMMUNITY
The Aberamentho community is designed under the spiritual principle of individual sovereignty, to create a space to develop the potential of each of its members.
The Aberamentho Community seeks to maintain a balance between the individual and the collective without one prevailing over the other.
It is founded on spiritual and hermetic principles and its members are free to choose their spiritual practices and beliefs as long as these are relevant to the right path (service to others rather than service to self and ego).
In the Aberamentho Community there are no hierarchies of any kind and therefore all its members, without distinction of sex, age, education, race, religious belief, etc., have a voice and a vote in community decisions.
The Aberamentho Community is a space where all expressions of the human being are welcome: art, science, culture, knowledge, etc.
Form of Government
The Aberamentho Community functions as a circular community where all its members must actively participate in the decisions and development of the community.
The Aberamentho Community seeks to create a social organizational form different from the traditional ones, that is, circular instead of pyramidal.

Community members must have an interest in spirituality and any of its expressions (alchemy, yoga, kabbalah, astrology, tarot, etc.).
