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.

The ReGEN-Nations program is a 6-month online learning journey and prototyping lab using whole systems thinking to design solutions for social, cultural, economic, and ecological resilience and regeneration, designed by the GENOA Projects team. The program is based on the Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) curriculum and certified by Gaia Education and UNESCO. The prototype began in September 2020 and welcomed 16 teams from around Asia and the Pacific, with 11 countries represented, Australia, Japan, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Each team joined with two lead members and several supporting members. They started with a project in either ideation or scaling stage and applied the learning from this program to develop and deepen their project design. The program offered a wide range of online sessions from check-in calls, to leadership, mentorship, and coaching sessions, to workshops and webinars on the areas of regeneration of ecovillage design. In addition to the cohort of 16 teams, the program ReGEN Nations reached over 120 participants through its open webinars and workshops in each dimension. Through the ReGEN Nations program, GENOA was able to also engage a network of thought leaders, trainers, activists, ecovillages and kindred spirit organisations from the region.

Join Ken Wilber and Doshin Roshi via live streaming, as they honour the gifts of the transformational eco-communities of today, recognise some of the challenges they are currently facing and explore what the medicine to heal and evolve could be from an Integral perspective. Sign up here to join the free live stream. Ken Wilber and Doshin Roshi Honouring the role communities have played in the transformation of the world up until now – the movement from modernity to postmodernity. Highlighting the pain and struggles within these organisations – beliefs, values and preferences that contribute to a sense of ‘stuckness’. Creating curiosity about the medicine needed to support a breakthrough to the next level – what might communities of tomorrow look like once they have embodied this medicine? Sharing inspiration and support to expand the potential of each community – deepening the transformational impulse around the world. Join in as this event will be streamed live to communities, holistic centres and ecovillages around the world. The transformational and eco communities of today grew out of the 1960s era that has been called postmodern—the gifts of multiculturalism, diversity, inclusion, sensitivity, eco awareness. Some of the struggles include co-creating healthy hierarchies, effective decision making, attracting younger people, financial sustainability. Ken Wilber outlines the significance of this rare dialogue offered as a free live broadcast to post modern communities around the world, one that focuses on growing up, waking up, cleaning up and showing up: “The postmodern communities of transformation, including Findhorn, did two profoundly important things: in relative truth, they introduced an enchanted world instead of the disenchanted wasteland; and in ultimate Truth, they simpl

The Kolamba Yathra is an actively engaged walking journey around the city of Colombo – the commercial capital of Sri Lanka. ECO-V is the organisation coordinating the journey, and has been conducting Yathras since 2011 to raise awareness, that leads to action and behavioral change, on climate change issues among the general public. It also serves to catalyze and support the creation of green youth leaders. The youth who are taking part in Yathras gain exposure to ‘green activities,’ serving as a gateway to personal and community behavioral change, while preparing the ground to become green youth leaders. After participating in the Yathra, these engaged youth will have an opportunity to conduct their own ‘green project’ to combat climate change within their own communities, through the facilitation and support of ECO-V. This year, ECO-V will be conducting our 3rd Yathra,“The Kolamba Yathra: An Interfaith Journey for Sustainability,” as a one-day program with at least 100 youth of diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds. The main objective of this Yathra is to raise awareness of climate change issues across the Colombo public, to engage religious and political leadership on climate change action, and most particularly to engage youth in modeling and action for eco-friendly, sustainable methods, climate change education and adaptation/mitigation and biodiversity restoration and conservation efforts. It is intended as well to support the global event, the “People’s Pilgrimage” which is gathering a global ‘critical mass’ of grassroots and spiritual leaders in an interlinked global ‘climate Yathra’ or pilgrimage, collecting climate stories, and gathering local voices and messaging to bring to the global leaders at the pinnacle inter-governmental climate talks, COP 21, in Paris this November and December 2015. This is done in concert with the Pan-Asian ICE Network, the African ‘We Have Faith’ climate caravan, and the Our Voices platform. Kolamba Yathra will

This 2 day meditation retreat is set in the stunning rugged mountainside of Southern Andalucia in an Eco-Education centre. We will be focusing on how to find deeper connections with others, but also with ourselves and our surroundings. The retreat will consist of silent meditation sessions, interactive sessions and exercises to explore and deepen the act of ‘connecting’. There will also be some time to go for walks in nature and connect to the desertlike, rural landscape we find ourselves in. As this is a short retreat, you could make the most of your trip by combining it with some time off to explore the area and visit the nature reserve Cabo de Gata, the beaches along the Costa de Sol or drive up to the mountain range of Las Alpujarras or the Sierra Nevada. Beginners as well as experienced meditators are welcome on this retreat. Cost: 110 € This includes basic accomodation, 3 vegetarian meals a day, from local, organic produce and the meditation teachings Siggy Verelst: il***********@***il.com

Hola Compas Nos vemos en unos días.Que alegría teneros aquí. Para que disfrutemos todas: cositas que saber, y que traer. Y alguna que NO traer… Como todos los años os pedimos que traigáis vuestro servicio de comidas: platos, cubiertos, vasos. Las personas del Sur, no olvidéis que venís al norte, y por la noche refresca: algo de ropa de abrigo! Sacos de dormir , claro. Linternas no estarán de más, sobre todo las personas en acampada! El aparcamiento: no está incluido en la inscripción. Si venís en un coche lleno ( mas del 75%) aportáis 6 euros. Si venís al 5o% o menos, 5 euros por dia. Tratamos así de que vengáis con los vehículos amortizados! El aparcamiento esta fuera del pueblo, la idea es llegar, dejar equipaje, subir a aparcar. y volver andando. Preferimos que no se use diariamente coche. Si alguien tiene que moverse, igual les prestamos unas bicis. Si tenéis productos para venta, ecológicos, artesanales; traerlos. El Domingo se pondrá mercadillo en el pueblo, vendrá gente de la zona. Animales no traer. Mas que nada por la dificultad de compartir espacios, y aquí hay un poquito de fauna que está queriendo ocupar este espacio… patitos, ranas, cangrejos, conejos. También es su casa. Y seguiremos colgando info para que todas vengamos con lo necesario! Lo mas importante…la alegría de reencontrarnos, o de conocernos. El humor, también las penas si las hay son bienvenidas. Las ganas de compartir este rato de camino. Arterra

Truly sustainable development is impossible without the full involvement of local communities.Local communities are starved of financial resources, while climate finance providers struggle to put their resources into action. This conversation will expose the challenges of getting funding on the ground, and explore opportunities to resolve this dilemma.

Shamanism has no dogma, scriptures or sacred writings to revere or to be misinterpreted, only the book of Nature. And by looking to her with an open heart can be understood all of life’s Mysteries. In this five day intensive course, teaching shamanic techniques of self discovery, empowerment and healing, you will learn core shamanic techniques of ecstasy with which to heal yourself and others and open you to connect deeply with the Spirit of Mother Earth. Looking towards our center from the perspective of the spiritual warrior, we first learn to heal the shadow parts of ourselves in order to use our whole selves to heal others. Shamanism is rooted in many different traditions, the common purpose that connects them all is to bring healing to the minds, bodies and spirits of human beings of all races and kinds, and to help to reawaken an awareness of the holistic nature of all things, and as a consequence bring healing to Planet Earth Herself. The programme will include: Energy awareness Kinesiology Meridian balancing Regression & Soul Retrieval Fetching a Power Animal Connecting with Mother Earth Toltec Magical Passes Healing & Clarvoyance Techniques Shamanic Journeys Fun About the Course Facilitator Vinod has been studying, practicing and teaching Shamanic Healing techniques for the past 20 years.
