ABOUT US
All of us at Kaluanã want to be active agents of the necessary transformation that we humans have to carry out to create a present and future that is more beautiful, peaceful, and just, for all beings in the Planet Earth community.
Through our socio-environmental actions, we will sow the seeds to sprout a new reality, where the essence rather than the superficial is seen as the most important.
We believe that through this new way of living, we humans will create a better world for all living beings in a more equal and fullfilling way.
The creation of a better world through deeper and more respectful interactions with all forms of life is the essence of Kaluanã. That's where our energy comes from!

Our cells and psyche recognize the natural environment as an inherent part of themselves.
Our learning philosophy is ecocentric and "soulcentric" where we understand the interdependence of human beings with Nature and we use this interdependence to leverage learning and intrapersonal and interpersonal reflections within the macro and microcosm of each individual.
Facilitating this interconnectedness with the natural world generates insights that change our students' perspective on Life in the broadest sense of that word.
The four stages of somatic and psycho-emotional immersion of the individual in a natural environment.

It provides a holistic model of the human development multilinear learning process.
The theory is called "Experiential Learning" in which the central role played by the experience is emphasized, differentiating this methodology from the other lines of learning, which ignore the role of subjective experience over the individual's learning, and emphasizes more the behavioral and cognitive aspects .
Experiential Learning provides active links to the individual's affective and emotional aspect and how (s)he absorbs and behaves in relation to a given experience.
Each stage supports each other and feeds the next stage.
It is possible to enter the cycle at any stage and follow it in its logical sequence. However, effective learning only occurs when a student can perform all four stages of the model.
During this integrative process we are concerned with the student's internal cognitive processes, with their values, beliefs and feelings, because we know that the learning process is integral and must be allowed flexibly and in a variety of situations.

During the Kaluanã experience, people are taken out of their Comfort Zone and exposed to challenges inherent in the natural environment. Being in the midst of nature requires recognizing the adaptive and technical aspects of a situation and adjusting efforts accordingly.
Our experiences are challenging yet safe, and promote holistic and lasting learning.

With each experience we facilitate reflection on it. In this stage we investigate the participants' interpretations of that experience, analyzing any inconsistency or understanding of it.
At this stage emerges paradigms, beliefs and
pre-existing interpretations.
