About me

My regenerative journey began in 2018 with the organisation an animation of specialized courses in the growing field of permaculture. The main purpose of these activities was to improve the relation we have with ourselves, with the other living beings, with mother nature. This process took me to systemic design, agroecology, bioconstruction and community building workshops, discovering how to regain autonomy and freedom, understanding how people can transform the world through their own transformation, myself as first ! Currently living in a community in the south of France named Lou NeĂŻssoun, I joined GEN as ambassador in 2020 and co-organized in 2021 the first Ecovillage Design Education course held in France at Sainte Camelle.
Passionate with the living world, as a permaculture designer I currently work on several innovative projects to experiment regenerative solutions applied to local context. One of them is the seeding of a syntropic agriculture edible forest in a Mediterranean context as a way to address the challenges we are facing regarding water management, food sovereignty, economical resilience, soil erosion and the evolving role of a farmer in a healthy ecosystem. My intention is to keep supporting actions that help humanity to align with the planet’s balances and to allow all life to be respected and valued as is it, a miracle!

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.

ENCUENTRO Bioregional de ECOALDEAS

Volvemos a celebrar el Encuentro Bioregional de Ecoaldeas y Comunidades, en la zona Centro. Unos dĂ­as en los que nos juntamos los miembros de la red y nos reencontramos para ofrecer talleres e inspiraciĂłn a los cientos de personas que se acercan. Compartir, contarnos como nos va. Aprender las unas de las otras. El gusto de vernos y celebrar que seguimos aquĂ­. De nuevo nos encontraremos en la Ecoaldea de ValdepiĂ©lagos, organizado por la Ecoaldea y Taller Karuna. Cada Encuentro ha sido una experiencia distinta. Cada lugar una aventura, para quien lo organiza, para quienes acudimos. Talleres de todo tipo, contactos, canciones, exposiciones, risas, abrazos, paseos, reuniones, niñas y niños, juegos, baños, calor, tormentas… el gusto de conocernos, irnos queriendo, el cariño haciendo red. Las cuatro Dimensiones necesarias para construir una ecoaldea o proyecto comunitario: DimensiĂłn Social y comunitaria: En ella abordaremos los criterios sobre los que construir comunidades sanas y equilibradas. Aspectos como los liderazgos, las tomas de decisiones, el activismo social, la comunicaciĂłn no violenta, la gestiĂłn emocional y del poder… DimensiĂłn EcolĂłgica: Agricultura biolĂłgica, la Permacultura, la bioconstrucciĂłn, la huella ecolĂłgica, la huella hĂ­drica, la autogestiĂłn energĂ©tica, el agua… DimensiĂłn EconĂłmica: Encaminándonos siempre hacia la autogestiĂłn de nuestras economĂ­as, trataremos de enunciar y compartir muchas de las prácticas y acciones que podemos establecer para depender menos del capital y defender los derechos de la Tierra , con herramientas y experiencias prácticas… DimensiĂłn Espiritual: Una comunidad es algo más que una suma de individuos. Abordaremos esa dimensiĂłn invisible -pero no por ello inexistente– que ha de conformar ese “espĂ­ritu” presente en cada comunidad o proyecto comunitario… Iremos añadiendo el programa con los TALLERES que se hagan. Por ahora están programados: Por ahora están programados estos talleres y
