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.

Fall part time Permaculture Design Course

Dates: 9 weekends (16 days) from Sept 8th -Dec 9, 2018 What better way to wind down the growing season than to embark on a permaculture design course? During this 100 hour course students learn to read the landscape, analyse problems, and design ecological solutions for the home, garden, or city. The Permaculture Design Certificate is a participatory and dynamic learning experience; classes include in-depth permaculture theory, design methodology, exercises, and group projects. They also include a whole lot of deep questioning, laughter, and growth! The curriculum we follow at P3 was developed by the late Bill Mollison in Australia in the 1970’s, and is today regarded as the standard in permaculture education, recognized and respected worldwide. At P3, our facilitators emphasize that permaculture goes beyond gardening and agriculture. With permaculture we can design solutions for: food deserts, the heat-island effect, and mis-managed waste systems. With edible landscaping and ecological architecture, we can increase the efficiency of our homes, our farms, and our communities. The solutions-based vision of permaculture practice is holistic and regenerative. P3 Permaculture alum have used their PDC to start projects and businesses in permaculture consultation, education, ecological agriculture, regenerative community organizing, urban farming, composting, and much more. The PDC program helps students to closely observe the natural principles and patterns that drive ecological systems. Understanding nature and our place within it is the first step towards healing broken systems. We hope that you can join us!

Prácticas de Comunicación Profunda

Por Mar y Víctor Fecha. Domingo 12 de abril de 2015 Horario: 11 a 14 y de 16 a 19 horas. Aportación: 20 euros o Moras (moneda social), para el taller, sala y sostenibilidad Opción de comida vegana: 10 euros o Moras (moneda social). Puedes traer tu comida. Lugar: Rincón de los Sueños. Calle Ecoaldea, 1. Valdepiélagos Contacta con nosotr@s: vi****************@***il.com +34 918 416 045 Sobre el taller: Reflexionaremos sobre campos grupales, roles y rangos, y herramientas prácticas para conectar contigo y con los demás desde lo más profundo de tu ser, mostrando tu vulnerabilidad valiente. Es una invitación a abandonarnos con confianza a la dimensión sensorial y afectiva, en un viaje a nuestro maravilloso mundo interior, inspirados en las teorías de Gandhi, Marshall Rosemberg y Pat Patfoort. Objetivos: * Análisis de los modelos de relación-comunicación que utilizamos habitualmente. * Introducción y prácticas de las técnicas de Comunicación Profunda Programa: “Ojo por ojo y todo el mundo acabará ciego”. Mahatma Gandhi La primera parte del taller consiste en tomar de conciencia personal sobre cuáles son nuestras formas habituales de relación comunicación. Según Path Patfoort, en las relaciones humanas existe un desequilibrio Mayor-menor que representa la base de la violencia, expresado a través de nuestras reacciones de defensa, evitación o ataque, desencadenadas ante otras personas, y que se manifiesta en tres modelos constantes de relación-comunicación. Identificar y analizar estos modelos nos ayuda a constatar cómo nuestra fuerza vital se pervierte en violencia, visible o invisible, consciente o inconsciente. A partir de esta toma de conciencia podemos ir operando una transformación en nuestra manera de comunicarnos, de violenta a profunda y empática, en lo que la antropóloga Path Pathfoort define como la Equivalencia. “Sin aceptación y respeto por sí mismo uno no puede aceptar y respetar al otro, y sin aceptar al otro como un legítimo ot

Taller impartido por Irene Goikolea

La vida cotidiana es la plataforma ideal para abordar lo que ocurre en nuestro interior. Todo eso que excluimos o negamos emerge en síntomas como estrés, conflictos interpersonales continuos, falta de vitalidad, relaciones dependientes, sensación de bloqueo, estancamiento o depresión. El día a día nos proporciona múltiples oportunidades para sumergirnos en la profundidad y descubrir las imágenes internas que producen esos síntomas. Si somos capaces de identificar cómo construimos nuestro mundo exterior desde lo que se fragua en nuestro espacio más interno, podremos transformar esas imágenes en otras más positivas o liberadoras, a fin de abrirnos a un nuevo espacio en el que desarrollar nuestro potencial individual de una manera creativa. OBJETIVOS: · El círculo de palabra como voz de la conciencia grupal. · Constelaciones relacionales. · Danza libre y guiada. · Meditación. HERRAMIENTAS: · Comprender los síntomas físicos, psicológicos y emocionales que te desempoderan. · Explorar espacios internos de poder y de vulnerabilidad llenos de nuevas posibilidades. · Reconocer tus aspectos más rechazados con el fi n de integrarlos. · Ampliar tus habilidades interpersonales y relacionales dentro del “nuevo espacio del nosotros” para mejorar tus relaciones y participar de manera más creativa en la sociedad actual. Irene Goikolea, life coach, cuenta con más de 20 años de experiencia en el campo interrelacional del “nuevo nosotros”, creado a partir de la expansión de la conciencia individual del yo que incluye al otro. Así mismo, es experta en el trabajo de sombra. En sus seminarios y talleres, Irene explora las múltiples posibilidades que existen en el espacio del “nosotros”, las cuales contribuyen al despertar de la conciencia colectiva. Este enfoque se basa en los valores de la sabiduría ancestral, sobre los que ha impulsado el retorno a una vida compartida, en sintonía con el nuevo paradigma

Cosecha de Cafe

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.

Permaculture Design Course

In this program you will learn how to plan, create and nurture regenerative human settlements. You will gain new perspectives and understandings as well as a variety of tools for how we as human beings can become caretakers for the whole ecosystem; how we can create abundant and diverse community systems, gardens and landscapes by connecting to and understanding ourselves, our communities and our land in deeper ways. By learning to observe the patterns of life and its energy flows and cycles, by learning to work with them instead of against them, you will emerge with a complex skillset to bring about regenerative creative solutions in your life. This unique course brings Permaculture Design together with the indigenous cultural wisdom gathered by the international Nature Connection and Regenerative Culture movement and its networks, creating a cultural container that supports you on a journey into yourself, your community and the world around you. You will be immersed in this culture throughout the program as well as learn how to facilitate it in your own personal and professional context at home. This course will be a powerful, transformative community experience, enabled by a deep immersion into nature, music, and the presence of cultural visionaries and elders, all hosted in an evolving ecovillage in the magnificent mountains of the Swiss Alps. Topics: – Introduction to permaculture (history, ethics and principles) – Permaculture design methods and processes – Planning and building of permaculture systems – gardens, communities, companies – Self-sufficiency and sustainable living and building – Permaculture in agriculture – Practical know-how: Botany, composting, forest gardens and more – Social permaculture and community building, regenerative organisations, roles and project management – Nature connection tools and introduction to wilderness knowledge (Core Routines, 8 shields, bird language) – This course covers the Permaculture Association (B

Proyecto de Vida Despierta

En este taller se alternarán los tiempos de presentación, diálogo y meditación.

The Art of Embracing The Shadow

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
