The Academy prepares the future members of a cell: so they arrive knowing, belonging and ready to contribute from day one.
It's not a course: it's the transition from interested party to founding member.
Transmit the vision, the principles and the model of the Ruban Cell, until they are understood at the root.
Initiate into the culture and governance: how a cell deliberates, decides and lives together.
Build the trades the cell needs —permaculture, bio-architecture, energy, guilds— through real practice.
Support each person through the transition, until taking the step into cell life is familiar ground.
From knowing the vision to arriving at the founding. Each step prepares the next.
Understand what a Ruban Cell is, why the forest is the city and what is being built.
Learn to deliberate and decide within the cell's operating system: argument maps, informed voting, holacracy.
Acquire practical skills in natural building, land, energy and the cell's guilds.
Take the material step: the commitment —not the investment— that makes it possible to acquire and prepare the land.
Join the founding gathering to raise the cell with your own hands, alongside those who will be your neighbors.
The Academy is open to anyone who takes the path seriously, regardless of where they come from or what cultural capital they bring. What matters is the willingness to learn, make and sustain a common world.
The goal is simple: no one should arrive at the cell as a tourist. Each person should arrive knowing, belonging and able to contribute from day one.
