Common good project: crowdfunding for women and children who have suffered violence

“Maha Maya Center of Consciousness” in Kerala combines a social project and a retreat center

I firmly believe that every person - regardless of their origin and regardless of what happened to them - can stand up in their dignity, in their absolute self-worth, if they only get the right help. That is the meaning of the Maha Maya Center of Consciousness. This is my story, that of my daughter and many of the people I have been able to accompany over the past 20 years.

Vienna / Kerala (OTS) - The Maha Maya Center of Consciousness in Kerala, India, combines a retreat center for western guests with a shelter for abandoned women and their children ("Healing Home"). "The center connects - through natural meeting places such as a large permaculture garden - seekers from the western world with the rejected women who experience healing on site," says Parvati Reicher, the center's founder. “Both sides get the chance to get a different view of their apparently restricted life. Even if the external circumstances are completely contrary, one thing becomes clear in the simple togetherness: the path is the same for everyone. Healing only comes about through turning to our innermost being. Security, the knowledge of one's own worth and healing arise from an inner force. ”The project can open until July 31st www.gemeinwohlprojekte.at get supported.

Help for women and children (Healing Home)

Parvati Reicher is convinced: I firmly believe that every person - regardless of their origin and regardless of what happened to them - can stand up in their dignity, in their absolute self-worth, if they only get the right help. That is the meaning of the Maha Maya Center of Consciousness. This is my story, that of my daughter and many of the people I have been able to accompany over the past 20 years.

An abused woman is considered worthless in India - she loses her own parental home, all forms of employment and thus protection for her children. “A person whose dignity has been injured and humiliated first needs a safe and loving place - people who know that their dignity is inviolable. Every woman may develop a new understanding of her life and her worth. "

The women are supported in being able to care for themselves and their children, in a job or in a community, in security and new self-confidence. This applies to women from India, but of course also to women who will find their way to the center from far away.

In harmony with people and nature

Life in the Maha Maya Center follows a calm rhythm. Simplicity is explicitly in the foreground: It should awaken the willingness to deal deeply with oneself. The harvest of the permaculture garden is available to the seminar participants as well as the Indian women and the employed staff.

“In the sense of the alignment of the entire center, we live in mindfulness with what the earth gives us, and we eat a vegetarian diet. The seminar center with its guests ensures the long-term financing of the women's center. "

Development with the help of "crowdfunding for the common good"

As a partner for financing, the Maha Maya Center of Consciousness relies on the crowd of, among other things Genossenschaft für Gemeinwohl.

This basically promotes the dialogue of all those affected and involved - because who knows what “the common good” is? Projects end up on the in-house crowdfunding platform - or not - only after a corresponding exchange between members and project operators as well as an advisory board for the common good.

In the case of the Maha Maya Center of Consciousness, a remarkable dialogue developed that makes every Shitstorm-plagued Youtuber pale with envy - the non-Western spiritual concept of the project already presents many people here with understandable challenges. Measured against this, the exchange of views was instructive and appreciative for all sides and covered a wide range of topics: Protection and psychological care for Indian women and their children, the kilometers of flight inherent in the project and continuously generated by the western retreat guests - the idea of ​​CO2- Compensation was immediately integrated into the project - ecological building as well as concrete time and business plans including feasibility. Last but not least, the members also learned personal information about the project operator.

The dialogue was started with the consent of all participants veröffentlicht

The project finally passed the “public welfare test” and is now on the crowdfunding page of the until July 31st Genossenschaft für Gemeinwohl for financing ready
