What we do

Nannilam Eco Village is a 125-acre residential eco-living project near Salem, Tamil Nadu, perched atop a scenic hill, offering breathtaking views.
Our eco-village is a model that blends Ecological Sustainability (ECO) with the simplicity and closeness of Village life (Village).
People here enjoy living in a fruit forest, eating fresh food from their organic gardens, living in beautifully crafted natural homes and houses while participating in workshops, events, and gatherings that help to build a community.
Nannilam is built on the principles of Nilam, Valam, and Nalam – Health, Wealth, and Soil. Each action here reflects a deeper connection to these essential elements. Here, the land nurtures both body and soul, offering peace, well-being, and a sense of purpose.
Whether you’re seeking a fresh start with eco-living or yearning to reconnect with nature, our community is open to all. At Nannilam, you’ll find not just a home, but a lifestyle that enriches your heart, mind, and spirit.

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 de educaciĂłn en libertad

Hola, amigos y amigas. Este año queremos celebrar en la Ecoaldea de Matavenero el I encuentro de educación libre del lugar. El año pasado, en el hermoso ambiente de Hervás nos juntamos un grupo de personas con unos intereses comunes en torno a la crianza y a la educación. En ese mismo lugar, nos comprometimos a realizar el segundo encuentro en nuestra aldea, y para nosotros es un orgullo poder organizar esto para tod@s vosotr@s El título del encuentro es:. Crianza natural con naturalidad y está enfocado a aunar fuerzas y fomentar un entorno de comunicación y convivencia donde se muestren diferentes iniciativas individuales y grupales de la península en torno a la crianza y educación , creando una atmósfera de ilusión y empoderamiento grupal. ¿Qué nos ofrece Matavenero durante este encuentro? Naturaleza y naturalidad. No podemos ofrecer más de lo que somos y aquello con lo que vivimos. Aquí tenemos una zona de acampada,> tierra para mancharse, árboles para trepar, fuentes para bañarse, caminos para dejarse llevar, aire para sentir, frutos que comer, risas de niñ@s y de adult@s, música en el ambiente, carretillos voladores, hogueras nocturnas y magia. Durante unos días podremos ser duendes. Queremos que este encuentro nos transporte a una atmósfera de sencillez, humildad y curiosidad. Nos regale una mirada de niñ@. El encuentro será espacio de expresión para todas las iniciativas y personas, sin crear pretensiones ni aspiraciones más allá que las de empoderarnos como padres, como acompañantes, como colectivos y como grupo. Relajarnos y sentir la capacidad innata del ser humano para criar y educar, a todos los niveles y desde todas las estructuras. Que nos volvamos conscientes de que el mero hecho de haber vivido implica que tenemos mucho que aportar a nuestr@s pequeñ@s, y por nuestra condición de seres tribales, la cultura, los grupos de apoyo y la red familiar son la base del crecimiento del ser humano, allí donde se encuentran todas las herramientas
