Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.

Through lively visual presentations, entertaining musical skits, experiential exercises, and practice, workshop participants will learn: ? The Sociocracy/DG governance method with circles and double-links Consent Decision-Making, Proposal-Forming, Evaluating Implemented Proposals, Selecting People for Roles, and Role- Improvement Feedback Building “Plan/Implement/Evaluate” feedback loops into every proposal Why Sociocracy/DG follows as a natural next step from both consensus decision-making and top-down hierarchical management.

The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes using mud plasters and art works on

Herramientas para la transición Interna y Global El objetivo de este Taller es explorar nuestras respuestas internas a la situación de nuestro mundo, tomar energías y prepararnos para tomar parte en su sanación. Para ello ofrecemos un taller activo, con diversas actividades y dinámicas en la Naturaleza, algunas en grupo, en parejas y otras individuales ahondando en nuestro interior. Este Taller está basado en la Ecología Profunda y El Trabajo que Conecta de Nuevo de Joanna Macy, también conocido como “el trabajo desesperación y el empoderamiento” o “trabajo por la paz psicológica”; es uno de los pocos talleres que se ofrecen en la península. A partir de la Ecología Profunda, la Teoría de Sistemas y la Visión del Mundo de las comunidades indígenas basadas en la Naturaleza, el Trabajo que Conecta de Nuevo construye la motivación, la creatividad, el coraje y la solidaridad para la transición a una cultura ecológica y humana sostenible. Una experiencia que te transformará profundamente… DE DONDE VENIMOS… Comenzamos con que vivimos una crisis, local y global que está afectando a toda la vida del planeta. Para muchas personas puede ser que desde hace muchos años estén preocupadas e implicadas sobre la crisis ecológica, social y económica; y para otras puede ser que solo recientemente. Especialmente para personas profesionales que trabajan en este ámbito y voluntarias activistas; los sentimientos de miedo, preocupación, impotencia y “burn out” “quemarse” que se experimentan hoy en día llegan a ser desbordantes y paralizantes. La sensación de que “no vale la pena”, “para qué”, “ no puedo hacer nada”… A DONDE VAMOS… El propósito principal de El Trabajo que Conecta de Nuevo – Ecología Profunda es ayudar a las personas a descubrir y experimentar la conexión de unas con otras y con la Naturaleza, para motivarles y recargarse de energía. Para poder actuar desde el “poder con”, una actitud positiva y propositiva en lugar del “poder contra” actitud d

El periodo de cosecha se ha fraccionado bastante, por lo que se pudo observar plantas con frutos ya maduros – verdes y floreciendo al mismo tiempo. Generalmente se prefiere que la floración se concentre, así la cosecha también se concentrara… A la fecha hemos realizado 4 recogidas y pienso faltaran 2 para completar el proceso. Se ha establecido que la floración del café es inducida por estrés hídrico alternado por un periodo lluvioso… La floración en el 2015 fue tan errática como el clima. Manejo de la Cosecha La calidad del café está muy relacionada con el manejo al momento de cosecharlo Esta es la primera cosecha que manejamos en la Aldea y ha permitido identificar como podremos ir mejorando la calidad: 1. Se identificaron áreas con muchas plantas enfermas de fumagina que necesitan un manejo de la sombra o necesitan ser reanimadas con poda. 2. Hay que enfatizar en cosechar solo granos maduros (separar los verdes). 3. Despulpar inmediatamente después de la cosecha. 4. Mejorar las condiciones de lavado 5. En la actualidad multiplicamos microorganismos eficientes locales para aplicarlos en forma de té al suelo y a las plantas. 6. Se comienza a Identificar la vegetación (no agresiva) la que coopera con el establecimiento del colchón, debajo de la sombra. 7. Siembra de guineos en las áreas muy soleadas. En las próximas semanas tendremos a la venta parte del café cosechado, deseando que lo disfruten. Esperando que en el 2016 llueva mucho más café en la Ecoaldea, si es que el clima lo permite.

What if we connected with our neighbours? What if we listened more deeply to each others’ needs? What if we had more community gardens? What if all our daily actions were guided by healing intentions? What if we re-learned what it means to live better together, with one another and the planet? What If? Ecovillage Solutions for Extraordinary Times is a two-day online gathering that seeks to explore the answers to the questions that define our ‘new normal’. The event will harness the spirit of the ecovillage movement to catalyse regenerative solutions that we can implement in our own lives, wherever we are. Join the Online European Ecovillage Gathering this 7-8 November to explore how ecovillages and intentional communities are awakening to opportunities through the Covid crisis and how together we can transform this moment to create a culture of regeneration and resilience for all.

Ready to connect with the hidden aspects of yourself? The “shadow” are all the hidden or unconscious aspects of oneself, both positive and negative, that the ego has repressed or never acknowledged. In other words, the shadow is all we push out of our conscious awareness, all we disown in ourselves, all that is unwanted, ugly, unloved or simply uncomfortable or unbearable to look at so that we exclude it from what we show to the world. But what we exclude and disown becomes larger than life and scares us. This workshop will give you a solid and integrated approach towards achieving a deep healing, transformation and permanent change, as well as some practical tools for a healthy, rich, rewarding and more complete emotional life. The final goal is to make space or, in other words, to open our hearts to be able to include all those parts or situations that belong to each of us and our system. The goal is not to solve anything, but to allow some conscious movements or processes that make us more aware of the aspects that we have rejected and which, consciously or unconsciously, we are in conflict with. Key benefits of shadow work: The shadow isn’t a popular topic. Exploring the shadow, however, gives us tremendous opportunities for growth and development. These are some of the benefits that result from shadow work: – Improving personal and interpersonal relationships Seeing others and yourself more clearly Improving physical and mental health Psychological integration and maturity Achieving greater creativity Dates: November 30th, December 1st and 2nd Schedule: Friday 30th: From 10am to 8pm (with lunch break) Saturday 1st: From 10am to 8pm (with lunch break) Sunday 2nd: From 10am to 2pm The facilitator Irene Goikolea has been working for more than

The desire to experience a lively, loving connection with others leads many people to live in community. So ‘clan’ here is a symbol of the family we choose for ourselves and the idea that unique individuals can join together to form one lively, living organism.In order to see what that can look like in practice, this year’s Summer Camp is dedicated to the following research questions: What conditions are needed for love and liveliness to arise? Are ‘clans’ a possible form for that? And is all of that just a nice utopian idea? … let’s find out! ZEGG Summer Camp 2015 … is a practical 11-day experiment for those seeking a life to match their dreams – whether personal or social. Supported by teams from ZEGG, “clan groups” of 20-30 people will meet daily to share, conduct ZEGG Forum and explore specific issues in more depth. Events in the Big Top, joint rituals and parties will bring the whole camp together again. An important role will also be played by lectures and workshops by external speakers and those from ZEGG. Open Space sessions will offer guests the opportunity to contribute their own skills and abilities, set off on their own journeys of exploration, and encounter each other. There will also be special groups for children and youth. External speakers Manitonquat (or Medicine Story) is an Elder of the North American Assonet Wampanoag, a storyteller, peer counselling teacher, author and “circle culture activist”. circleway.org Charles Eisenstein from the USA is a cultural philosopher and author, public speaker and independent teacher.

About Me I’m 62 years old, with deep roots in the environmental and regenerative farming movements. I’ve worked in permaculture, started a farmers market, and have spent years as a yoga teacher and sound bath practitioner. I’m a Kundalini yoga teacher and leader in that field, currently living in the Black Hills of South Dakota. A few years ago I went through a divorce, and I’m now exploring relocation — looking for my people: those living in harmony with the land who also hold a spiritual practice, where I can contribute the full range of skills I bring. I care deeply about raising consciousness on the planet and bringing health and wellness to both people and the earth — I consider myself a water protector, and the environment matters enormously to me. I love teaching and education in general. I’m organized, comfortable with social media and administrative work, though what lights me up most is the deeper work — teaching, healing, and helping communities thrive. What I’m Looking For A 3-month work-trade opportunity, ideally December 26 – February 27. I can offer: Yoga and meditation instruction Farming, harvesting, and food prep Administrative support

Immerse yourself in this one month residential program at Gaia Ashram, that dives deep into understanding the multiple crises we are facing worldwide, looking at solutions and learning how to design with whole systems thinking in order to address issues, while living together in community. Who is organsing this EDE This international Ecovillage Design Education course (EDE) is a 32 days course that is certified by Gaia Education (www.gaiaeducation.org) & GEN (Global Ecovillage Network) and is organised and facilitated by GENOA (Global Ecovillage Network of Oceania & Asia) and NextGENOA (Next Generation of the Global Ecovillage Network of Oceania & Asia). recognised as a contributor to UNESCO Global Action Programme (GAP) on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The EDE provides students of all ages with the knowledge and practical skills on how to design a society or a community/village which uses energy and materials with greater efficiency, distributes wealth fairly and strives to eliminate the concept of waste. The knowledge of EDE is also adaptable for personal or family level of transformation, in urban and rural contexts. When is this EDE taking place This EDE will be held from 16 February – 18th March 2019. Sunday 16th February is arrival day and orientation and 18th of March is closing and departure day. Where is the Venue This training will mainly take place at Gaia Ashram, Thailand, which is close to the border of Laos. Gaia Ashram is an intentional community and ecovillage project that has ecosystem restoration and community building at its heart. During the EDE, there will be a two days exposure trip to a local village.

This 6 day immersion will lead us through an intense cleansing and purification process. Combining the dynamic morning flow with an afternoon Taoist practice, we will enjoy both physical, emotional and spiritual release and opening. As well as asana, prananyama, dance, meditation and bhakti we will also follow a holistic yogic-life approach with the food – being vegan and with plenty of juices. Choosing the path of yoga is not about bending your body into different positions, it is about a life choice for optimum health and positivity. Detox is about cleansing the mind as well as the body it is housed in. Evenings will be using music, sound and voice therapy as tools for a deeper journey of connection, devotion and healing.
