What we do

Almarte is a regenerative initiative in the Dominican Republic, combining permaculture, cacao cultivation, and community building to explore new models of living and loving beyond the boundaries of capitalism.
Located on 120 hectares of reforested land in a sacred region surrounded by tropical mountains, our project has already planted over 100,000 trees, including 60,000 cacao trees grown under organic and biodiverse agroforestry systems.
At its heart, Almarte is a living laboratory — a place where ecology, art, and consciousness meet. The name unites alma (soul) and arte (art), reflecting our belief that true regeneration begins both in the soil and in the human spirit.
Currently, four of us live next to the farm, as we build the essential infrastructure — water systems, renewable energy, and community spaces — to bring the ecovillage fully to life.
We are now forming the Almarte Foundation (NGO) as the social and legal structure behind this vision. The foundation researches and implements post-capitalist structures based on cooperation, circular economies, and shared resources — where value is created through connection, creativity, and care.
Almarte seeks to inspire a global movement for regenerative communities that honor both the Earth and the human heart — cultivating cacao, culture, and consciousness in harmony with nature.

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.
