...learning to get along

"That's a school for me. I don't do it for other people, I do it for myself."

What our little school is like

It's not a school with grades or enrollment. It's a place where people gather to practice art, music, dance — learning to accept themselves, to stop lying to themselves, to keep trying. It comes down to four lessons, from highest to lowest priority:

1. Learning to love

Not romantic love. The first of all the principles.

"Love, for me, comes first... you have to learn, in my view, to hold onto it, to keep on loving, not to suddenly switch to hate."

2. Learning to heal

Health understood from its emotional root, not just the physical one.

"I believe illness comes a lot from fear, from anger, from sorrow. You have to know how to heal."

3. Learning to use money

The third pillar, and the one that should weigh the least.

"May money be transformed, may it be a tool, may everyone have what's normal... to earn money we have to work, and most jobs are degrading — they protect neither people, nor animals, nor the planet."

4. Learning to live

A fourth block, added "just in case" — the one that holds up the other three, day to day.

Emotional support with Nora

As part of this learning, anyone staying at the house can talk individually, for free, with Nora, the emotional-intelligence AI companion from Me Growth — designed to listen, accompany, and help you understand yourself a little better, like an emotional educator.

For now it's only available in Spanish. The free plan gives access to a couple of individual sessions a week, no card and no payment needed.

Note for Marta: this is pending your confirmation — for now we're offering it this way, free for anyone staying at the house, but let us know if you'd rather change the wording or where it appears. It's an educational companion and does not replace professional mental health care.

Art, in every corner

One house, one temporary family

This is a school, and in a school not everyone gets top marks — but effort is encouraged. The pilgrims who pass through have the basics here; but what matters most, Marta says, is the people living together in the house at any given moment:

"That's what we are: whoever is here right now. It's like a temporary family."
