What we do

As a 7-year-old, I heard the story of the paradise and that humans were kicked out from it. I was wondering why humans not just plant a new paradise as they are capable of planting. I liked the idea of planting a new Paradise because I sensed that this would provide us with an easy and stress-free life and in fact, this would be the life the creator has made us for.
We want to be a bridge between the civilized and a new natural wild society and we want to make the transition to a natural life as convenient as possible. By our sample, we also want to make people confident, that the step is really possible.
The members of the “Nude Ape Community” have in common, that they have the goal to live Ape lifestyle and they change their lifestyle towards Ape Lifestyle as much as the environment they are designing and the national human society are allowing it. For this, they plant fruit-bearing and herbaceous plants for food purposes and other plants for other purposes like fibers, building materials, soap. We also build houses of soil and other regrowing and recycled materials. Those are part of the bridge from civilized to natural society.
To sustain financially, we plant also other agricultural products for sale and engage in Agriculture related businesses like post-harvest processing like for example Artisan Coconut Oil, designing and fabricating equipment for post-harvest processing, Agritourism, and Adventure Tourism. We will also make Seminars for tribal communities and others to teach about our findings and development. An Artisan Oil Mill exists already and is earning.
Other professions are always welcome for interdisciplinary exchange, community development including legal contract designing, making our ideas and findings known and loved in the world and developing more sustainable solutions for the part of the society which is not yet ready for the step into ape diet which are already steps towards ape diet.

How to join

Since the project is starting to grow with new people from Germany, we now have a website/social media where you can get in touch with us. Those who are already on the Philippines can contact the founder directly via SMS and after his reply via call.

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.

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes using mud plasters and art works on
