Life-Biotope and analytical model
Matricultura analyses Life-Biotopes, society, economic and cultural systems with respect to their holism and therefore their vividness. Matricultura's analytical model works with visual language: Schemes, that illustrate the systems to be analysed in their complexity and at the same time show them clearly displayed. On the basis of these schemes insufficiently developed potentials, powerfully integrated and also overloaded areas of live can be examined. The insights of the analysis will be fathomed out at the realization. Matricultura integrates research, knowledge areas and fields of application, that aim the activation and healing of Mother Earth as origin and carrier of all life. In Matricultura, the term Mother Earth includes implicitly the qualities - earth, water, air, fire and energy of life in all life forms that were created from them and are continuously created anew. Matricultura attaches particular importance to the practical implementation of the gained insights. The most exact possible feedback to analysis and integration is always anew looked for and applied in everyday life.
Matricultura advises on how to build Life-BiotopesThe patriarchal economic, finance and society systems are neither to be reformed nor to be controlled. Therefore step-in-pioneers should urgently start the construction of the liveliest possible and self-responsible Life-Biotopes. Within a Life-Biotope the path towards life-centred livelihood can be specifically tested and explored. The building of a Life-Biotope can be started at the most different places and under most different circumstances. E.g. in a city apartment of one single person, in a multiple family dwelling, in a community, on a farm, in a school, in a village, a city, on a market place... Life-Biotopes are the basic "objects of research" of Matricultura. Matricultura advises and assists with the building of Life-Biotopes, encourages the connection of different Life-Biotopes and can support the biodiversity among them.
Autarca is a Life-Biotope based on the core values of Matricultura.
It is one place of the practical implementation of the research results on the life-giving path towards life-centred livelihood. Autarca is located in the north-west of La Palma, one of the Canary Islands, on a piece of land of approx. 40'000 m², nestled in a small village, at the boarder of a nature reserve. Autarca was founded on the first of June 2007 and is led by Barbara Elisabeth Graf and Erich Alfried Graf.
