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.

Topics covered: GMOs, hybrids, heirlooms – what is that all? Plant taxonomy: family-genus-species-variety Basic plant physiology: flowers, pollination Avoiding cross pollination and maintaining your varieties pure Proper harvesting, cleaning and storage of your seeds This workshop does not require previous knowledge and skills – it helps to have gardening experience. The weekend course consists of 12 hours of theory and practice, presentations, chats, garden walks and practical examples of hand pollination, seed cleaning, building an isolation cage and lots more. It is held in English. Workshops in Spanish are available at different dates. Bernhard Hartl is an Austrian horticulturist, biochemist and veg enthusiast.

Mujeres que dialogan

Eres mujer, caminas en la vida, en algunos momentos te sientes sola… Despertemos juntas facetas que están dormidas y escondidas por miedos, por límites… Hagámoslo con arte y salero, risas y lágrimas. Te proponemos recorrer el camino con encuentros mensuales para compartir y explorar juntas lo que nos mueve, nos emociona, nos duele, nos preocupa y nos hace reír aquí y ahora. “Las personas más bellas con las que me he encontrado son aquellas que han conocido la derrota, conocido el sufrimiento, conocido la lucha, conocido la pérdida, y han encontrado su forma de salir de las profundidades. Estas personas tienen una apreciación, una sensibilidad y una comprensión de la vida que nos llena de compasión, humildad y una profunda inquietud amorosa. La gente bella no surge de la nada.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross ¿Quiénes somos? Somos cuatro mujeres amigas, artistas, escritoras y terapeutas que llevamos veinte años compartiendo un camino de exploración interior a través de los sueños, el arte y el teatro. De esta vivencia que compartimos surgió el deseo de abrirnos a otras mujeres. El compartir te lleva a descubrir quién eres, cuál es tu esencia, cuál es tu color, tu huella en el mundo. A través de actividades como el teatro, la visualización o la creatividad dialogaremos con nosotras mismas y con el grupo, ensanchando la percepción de nuestras esencias. Fechas: sábado 24 de octubre, sábado 21 de noviembre y sábado 19 de diciembre. Horario: 10:00 a 13:00 Precio: 20€/sesión Contactos: Claire Suanzes – cl***********@***oo.es – 659 884 354 Neus Valls – ne*************@***oo.es – 676 053 759 Centro Crealliance – Avda de la Victoria, 73 – 28023 Madrid – www.crealliance.net
