#13 - Building a business in a Patriarchal Society, with Alexandra Schwarz-Schilling

In Alto Paraiso, we are building Living Gaia, a holistic retreat centre and biotope on 300 hectares of land to educate the women. Women have to take leadership. And we also support the women as shamans. The land purchase project near Jordao. The Huni Kuin need a place to live. And the problem is that in Jordao there are a lot of Brazilian farmers and they are close to the indigenous territories, and there the cattle graze. We want to protect the forest and support their indigenous way of life. Protecting the rainforest and protecting the indigenous are one and the same.
