Biography
[edit]Mabel Cañada was born in the Santutxu neighborhood of Bilbao in 1952. Daughter of Ángel, a Burgos glassmaker and Isabel, a Balmasedana who dropped out of nursing to care for her father, is the second of five sisters and two brothers.[3] Mother of 4 people, active in groups such as the Conscientious Objection Movement (MOC),[4] the feminist movement, and groups against large infrastructures such as nuclear power plants or the Itoiz reservoir in Navarra.[5]
She was one of the founders of the community of Lakabe (Navarra) in 1980, an abandoned town that was squatted and recovered, in which coexistence is based on self-management, self- sufficiency, self-consumption, mutual support, and assembly operation.[6][7][8]
Cañada has been trained in ways to create collectivity, to express oneself in a group, to live in community, to implement structures that allow horizontal decision-making, in process facilitation, experimental education and non-violent communication.[9] It has also been formed in other communities such as Findhorn.[10]
Since 2004 she has been a facilitator of change processes, performs situation diagnoses for social groups, accompanies them in their own processes and teaches courses and workshops.[11]
