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.

Asamblea, 2000

A la asamblea constituyente de Madrid acudieron los siguientes colectivos: Amayuelas (Palencia), La Carrucha Cultural (Huesca), La Osa (Asturias), Permacultura Montsant (Tarragona), Valdepiélagos (Madrid), Matavenero (León), La Garrotxa (Girona), Vettonia (Salamanca), Jardines de Acuario (Murcia), GEA, Bajo el Asfalto está la Huerta (Madrid), Cosas de la Luna (Madrid), Mas Noguera (Castellón). No estuvieron en la reunión, pero manifestaron su deseo de pertenecer a la Red: Los Arenalejos (Málaga), Más Lluerna (Lérida), El Pardal (Jaén), Habioclima (Lérida), Valberzoso (Palencia), As.Macrobiótica PAM (Huesca), Equi-libre (Tarragona). En la reunión se decidió hacer una página web, que se instalaría en el servidor del GEN Europa. Los contenidos de la página incluirán información de los proyectos existentes y otras informaciones útiles para la Red y para las personas de fuera. Todavía pendiente de hacer. La Red tomará el nombre de Red Ibérica de Ecoaldeas, RIE. Se han hecho contactos con personas de Portugal que están dentro del movimiento de ecoaldeas y no han puesto ningún reparo al nombre, aunque consideran prematuro unirse a la RIE. De momento prefieren formar la Red portuguesa de ecoaldeas. Se decidió también formar parte de la Red Global de Ecoaldeas, GEN Europa, con la que ya teníamos contactos. La Carrucha (ahora Selba) lleva la coordinación entre la RIE y el GEN Europa. Ulysses informó de que el directorio de ecoaldeas estaba prácticamente terminado. Sólo faltan algunas fotos y algunos datos. Se recordó a todos los miembros de la RIE que contamos con dos revistas impresas, La Osa y GEA (a partir del otoño de 2001, GEA desaparece y tendremos en su lugar una revista de mayor tirada para la difusión de la RIE: ReHabitar). Por último se decidió que el siguiente encuentro sería en la ecoaldea Los Arenalejos (Málaga), del 23 al 26 de agosto de 2001.

Community Building Course

Community Building experience (Dragon dreaming; Sociocracy; Work that reconnects; Six thinking hats; Spirals of abundance, and much more) Thinking of creating an eco village, an intentional community, or looking to create a community project, and want to understand and experience: – How to begin – How to find the right people – How to keep people together in harmony – How to have fun in the process! Amazing projects failing to go the distance is a well recognised pattern, and as you maybe well have already experienced, it is usually due to lack of cohesion between people and a clear shared vision But there are also well recognized patterns, and plenty of community tools which do allow projects to last… and we are excited to share these with you all. DATES – 13th- 20th of May 2016: 7 day community building experience (arriving the evening of the 13th) For people who can only attend at the weekend the first and last 2 days will be distinct courses: – 14th and 15th 2016: 2 day introduction to Sociocracy (collaborative decision making) – 21st-22nd: 2 day course on Water Management (Theory and Practical: Collection, Storage and Distribution) WHAT TO EXPECT During this 7 day experience we will look at what causes projects to fail, so we can learn to spot potential pitfalls, we will then not only learn, but actively put into practice the patterns and tools that allow projects and communities to succeed. For 7 days we will form a community, that works out how to nurture and support each other and live together in complete harmony. We will make collaborative decisions on how we achieve this. Hence the first 2 days of this experience will learn about and use an invaluable community decision making tool called Sociocracy (also known as Dynamic governance). Sociocracy has 95 years of experience in allowing individuals needs to be heard within a group, and used to form a cohesive project with actions that every person consents to (see

Taller de Arte Terapia

Taller con Viva Vigoureux-Heremans “En el fondo de todo adulto yace un niño eterno en continua formación, que solicita cuidado, atención y educación”. C.G.Jung El niño interior nos capacita para establecer verdaderas relaciones con los demás y para amar. Por desgracia, suele desaparecer aproximadamente a los cinco años de edad. Este niño sufrió heridas en el pasado y ahora tiene miedo de que se le vuelva a dañar. Reconectar con él, es reconectarse con la vulnerabilidad pero también con la alegría y la magia. Cuando rechazamos a nuestro niño vulnerable, lo obligamos a buscar el cariño en personas cercanas, exigiéndoles el cuidado del que carecemos y cayendo en relaciones de dependencia. El objetivo de este taller es reanudar el diálogo con nuestro niño interior y escuchar su voz, explorando las emociones que surgen. ¿Cómo vamos a abrir este diálogo? Trabajando con el color, la espiral, la arcilla, el colage, la visualización y el mandala. Imparte : Viva Vigoureux-Heremans, cuenta-cuentos y profesora, terapeuta de Reiki y pintora, animadora de talleres de arte-terapia, con más de 20 años de experiencia psicoanalítica. Fecha: 5 y 6 de octubre de 2013 de 9:30 a 14:00 Lugar: Centro Crealliance – Avenida de la Victoria, 73 – 28023 Madrid (Aravaca) – in**@*********ce.net – tel: 633 935 523 Información e inscripción : Viva Vigoureux-Heremans tel: 620 865 610 – vi**********@***oo.es Precio: 80€ los dos días Información e inscripción : Viva Vigoureux-Heremans tel: 620 865 610 – vi**********@***oo.es

Learning to Live and Grow up in an Ecovillage 5

The eco-village Los Portales still has a free place for its project “Learning to Live and Grow up in an Ecovillage 5”, 9 months long, to start before December 2018. For more information, please write to Neus at ev*********@*********es.net The project “Learning to Live and Grow up in an Ecovillage 5” is designed for volunteers interested in discovering and experiencing this way of life. During 9 months they will immerse themselves in the ecovillage life and its different activities, accompanied by very experienced people. The project objective is to propose to the participants the acquisition of a series of tools through the following activities: managing an orchard to produce food for 30 people; cooking for collectives: learn how to compose and prepare balanced menus for groups; managing a 30 goat herd for milk production and dairy product processing (cheese, yogurt); making artisan organic bread, learning the process from beginning to end; first contact with the three ecovillage renewable energy types: solar, wind and hydro power; managing personal and group processes: facilitation and conflict resolution tools and creativity development tools. All activities will be carried out on the ground because we are aware that the learning integration is thus faster and lasting. The person in charge of each activity will give the training and explain the tasks to the volunteers, putting special emphasis on the safety measures to prevent any accident. The coordinator will help the volunteers define their interests and personal learning and development program through the activities and will hold weekly meetings with them, in order to ensure that the established program aims are met. He will also be available to resolve any matter relating to the activities scheduling. The saying “Be the change you want to see in the world” sums up quite well what our association wants to bring to our society and, especially, to its youth.
