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.

Permaculture Design Certificate

Join us in Frelighsburg, QC for a full-time, two-week Permaculture Design Certification. The PDC program follows the internationally recognized curriculum provided by Bill Mollison. During this course, we will observe and follow the natural principles that drive ecological systems. We will learn, through both theory and hands-on practice, how to integrate these principles in designing our lives, homes, lands, and communities. Upon completion of this course, you will obtain your Permaculture Design Certificate. This certification will allow you to pursue a permaculture diploma and give you the fundamentals to begin integrating permaculture principles into your career, life, endeavours or enterprise. This course is held on a 268-acre domain equipped with a private lake, a beautiful little river with a small waterfall, all of which is located 1km from the sacred Abenaki mountain of Mont Pinacle (visible from the house) and 3km away from the charming village core of Frelighsburg, QC. It is 5km away from the Vermont border and thus, easily accessible for our neighbours to the South. The property has a small apple orchard area with 4 different kinds of apples trees growing. The land is partially forested with 2 long walking trails and partly cleared (about 5 acres) for 2 organic agricultural projects. ​ ​The property enjoys lots of sunshine and privacy. And there is a fire pit area with seating and picnic tables. The host will provide some farming tools to share with the participants and you are welcome to bring yours also. There is a canoe and kayak for early morning boating on the lake and there is also the possibility of a small sweat spot near the lake for our PDC guests in August. Our family is thrilled to be sharing our seed farm and indigenous gardening spaces with you! >Price: $1,220 CAD (includes course, materials, food, campsite).

Danses du monde, danses en cercle

Danser ensemble les traditions du monde, pour débutant.e.s et initié.e.s Avec Brigitte Mesdag et Jan Quintens Nous, les êtres humains, dansons depuis le commencement. Nos premiers maîtres ? Les animaux et leurs merveilleuses chorégraphies de danses nuptiales au printemps. Les danseurs dans l’Antiquité exprimaient leur terreur, leur bravoure, leur émerveillement, leur besoin de rencontre. Selon les contrées, la géographie, l’environnement, le climat… des traditions sont nées, des peuples ont forgé leur identité. Les langues, chants et danses en témoignent. Dans différentes langues du monde, le mot « danse » signifie souvent « ronde, cercle » comme Hora, en Roumain, Kolo en Serbe et Croate. Chaque tradition a ses spécificités : costumes, rythmes, instruments et mélodies… pourtant un lien profond nous unit au-delà des frontières, des identités. La danse traditionnelle était vécue et exécutée comme un rituel ou les besoins de rencontre, d’appartenance étaient nourris. Aujourd’hui encore, grâce au rituel, le besoin d’exprimer et de partager nos émotions nous relie : danser pour célébrer la joie d’une vie nouvelle, pour accompagner le deuil, pour donner du courage, pour signifier un changement. De tous temps, danser ensemble permet de transcender le quotidien, rend la vie, souvent dure, plus supportable. Les participant.e.s danseront en deux groupes selon leur niveau d’expérience et technique. L’apprentissage des pas de base et la découverte des divers rythmes feront partie de l’enseignement. Nous commencerons et finirons ensemble avec des échauffements et danses partagés par toutes et tous. Brigitte et Jan se sont inspirés de plusieurs traditions et cultures. Ils continuent à renouveler leur répertoire de danses françaises, israéliennes, roumaines, grecques, klezmer, arméniennes, turques argentines, serbes, croates etc. Leur objectif est de créer un espace de rencontre à travers le rituel de la danse. La vie collective (jadis dans les villages, les bourgs

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

Taller impartido por Irene Goikolea

“Entrenando el corazón y la mente para cocrear un nuevo futuro” Vivir una vida “despierta” conlleva sabiduría, curación, paz y amor a nuestro alrededor. El objetivo de este taller es proporcionar las herramientas básicas para “despertar” y mantener este nivel de conciencia en el día a día. La vida cotidiana nos refleja la realidad que construimos desde nuestro interior. Todo lo que excluimos o negamos de nosotros mismos emerge a la superficie como síntomas de cualquier tipo como estrés, conflictos interpersonales continuos, falta de vitalidad, reactividad ante las decisiones, relaciones dependientes, sensación de bloqueo, estancamiento o depresión. Por tanto, cualquier oportunidad de la vida cotidiana se convierte en el escenario perfecto para transformar las causas que originan dichos síntomas y practicar el despertar. De este modo, evitaremos ser arrastrados por imágenes como el miedo, la desconfianza, la duda o la traición y fomentaremos un nuevo espacio para liberar nuestro potencial y creatividad relegados en nuestra sombra (la parte excluida de la persona que se tiende a ocultar por considerarla inapropiada). El fundamento de este taller es el trabajo de introspección individual en un escenario grupal, lo cual permite identificar las dinámicas relacionales inconscientes para liberar la carga emocional que contienen. Esto genera nuevas percepciones que contribuyen a reconocer lo que está excluido dentro de nosotros con el fin de integrarlo y recuperar el impulso vital y la capacidad empática. Este proceso se verá favorecido por un alineamiento de mente, impulso y acción. 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 taller
