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.

Deep Ecology & Mindful Gardening

Deepen our connection with nature through our head, heart, hands and spirit. Join us at Gaia Ashram in the North-East of Thailand for this two weeks contemplative learning where we will learn together What is Deep Ecology as a philosophy, as a way to see and interpret life, as an approach to deepen our connection with nature and as a way of living. This two weeks program is designed to have balance of the learning through different channel of our being: Head: Theoretical learning, critical thinking, debate, discussion, deep reflection & deep questioning. The learning through the head help us to understand deeply of what is happening around us and in the world. Understanding and deeply questioning the reality presented to us is a way to liberate ourselves from it. Heart: listening to what we are feeling when we engage ourselves in nature and her stories. Allowing the heart to feel the love, joy, compassion or the feeling of sadness & fear allowing ourselves to feel the pain ourselves, the world & Mother Earth. We will use the activities of The Work That Reconnect of Joanna Macy and other practices to help our heart to learn deeply. We need the learning through our heart to bring about transformation at a deep level. Hand: Mindfully working with nature in the garden. When we are mindful we love, respect and connect as we are physically engaged. Practical work help us to ground our believes, philosophy and vision. It empowers us and assures us that the new reality we wish for is possible. It makes what’s in our head and heart become real and tangible. Spirit : Spirituality, Meaning & purpose. Learning at this level is about being conscious of our values and purpose, seeing ourselves as part of a greater universe and realizing our connection, relationship and responsibility in that picture. a learning at this level helps us to stay connected with our core and bring meaning to life. The course will run through what we call “the wave of energy” where

Curso de Bioconstrucción

Queremos ofrecer un Curso en el que aprender, experimentar y profundizar en algunos aspectos de la Bioconstrucción, de manera profesional, familiar y cercana al mismo tiempo. La Bioconstrucción es un campo muy amplio, por eso hemos decidido dividir este curso intensivo en 2 Módulos específicos: El Primer módulo es Fuego y Barro, y en el trabajaremos elementos como: Estufas de masa térmica, hornos de leña, estufas rocket, adobe,….. Aprendiendo a construir con materiales sanos y naturales, adaptados a nuestro hogar y necesidades; para obtener una mayor eficiencia, salud y calidez en nuestro hogar y cuidar en medio ambiente al mismo tiempo. EL segundo módulo es Estructuras Vegetales Naturales, y en este trabajaremos la construcción de estructuras tales como: domo geodésico, yurta, techos de cañizo, arcos y columnas de cañas, que pueden ser urilizadas para construcción de pérgolas, invernaderos, sombreados, escenarios y mucho más….; todo ello con materiales locales vegetales: caña y pita (ágave). Las personas interesadas pueden apuntarse a los dos módulo o también solo a uno, el que más les interese. El grupo va a ser reducido, entre un mínimo de 4 y un máximo de 6 personas; Ya que nuestra intención es poder crear, durante los días del curso, una micro comunidad de aprendizaje e intercambio de saberes y experiencias, donde todas las personas tengan su espacio y atención y en el que, así mismo, podamos co-diseñar los detalles del proceso de aprendizaje y decidir todas juntas en que áreas o aspectos queremos profundizar. Gran parte del aprendizaje será práctico y de trabajo manual, combinado con momentos de explicación teórica. Incluiremos videos documentales y power points, en algunas tardes y veladas, sobre: estructuras de caña, estufas de masa térmica, trabajo en barro, ….y más aspectos de bioconstrucción en que l@s participantes esten interesad@s.
