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.

Permaculture Design Certificate

Join us in Frelighsburg, QC for a full-time, two-week Permaculture Design Certification. The PDC program follows the internationally recognized curriculum provided by Bill Mollison. During this course, we will observe and follow the natural principles that drive ecological systems. We will learn, through both theory and hands-on practice, how to integrate these principles in designing our lives, homes, lands, and communities. Upon completion of this course, you will obtain your Permaculture Design Certificate. This certification will allow you to pursue a permaculture diploma and give you the fundamentals to begin integrating permaculture principles into your career, life, endeavours or enterprise. This course is held on a 268-acre domain equipped with a private lake, a beautiful little river with a small waterfall, all of which is located 1km from the sacred Abenaki mountain of Mont Pinacle (visible from the house) and 3km away from the charming village core of Frelighsburg, QC. It is 5km away from the Vermont border and thus, easily accessible for our neighbours to the South. The property has a small apple orchard area with 4 different kinds of apples trees growing. The land is partially forested with 2 long walking trails and partly cleared (about 5 acres) for 2 organic agricultural projects. ​ ​The property enjoys lots of sunshine and privacy. And there is a fire pit area with seating and picnic tables. The host will provide some farming tools to share with the participants and you are welcome to bring yours also. There is a canoe and kayak for early morning boating on the lake and there is also the possibility of a small sweat spot near the lake for our PDC guests in August. Our family is thrilled to be sharing our seed farm and indigenous gardening spaces with you! >Price: $1,220 CAD (includes course, materials, food, campsite).

Yoga Terapia Hormonal para mujeres

El cuerpo es capaz de producir hormonas por si mismo. La brasileña, Dinah Rodrígues, desarrolló en los años 90 una serie de ejercicios de yogaterapia hormonal a partir de diferentes tradiciones de yoga, como yoga hatha, kundalini y yoga energético tibetano. Un estudio científico para verificar los efectos del yoga hormonal demostró que la concentración hormonal de las personas que participaron en el ensayo ascendió un 254% en cuatro meses: disminuyeron los sofocos, desparecieron las depresiones y el mal humor, y se aliviaron otros síntomas. El yoga hormonal no sólo influye positivamente sobre el nivel hormonal, sino que alivia los síntomas que acompañan a los desarreglos hormonales. Las asanas practicadas con regularidad ayudan a mantener el peso ideal, a disminuir los cólicos menstruales, a mejorar el ánimo, a acelerar las curaciones de miomas, quistes, prevenir cáncer de mama, etc… El yoga hormonal es muy beneficioso para todas las mujeres a partir de los 35 años, pero especialmente para: Mujeres con dificultades de fertilidad Mujeres son síntomas relacionados con la menstruación Mujeres en menopausia Osteoporosis Profesora: Claire Ingrid Suanzes Rey, terapeuta de shiatsu y drenaje linfático desde 1993, formada en Austria, Holanda y España. Profesora de yoga desde 1989, formada en Canada y Austria. Trabaja en el Centro Crealliance en Madrid. Está formada en yoga hormonal Dinah Rodrigues e imparte cursos de esta especialidad desde 2010.

otros mundos son posibles

los liderazgos y los procesos colectivos “creatividad social para la transicion” Es el cuarto año que nos convocamos. Esta vez a la entrada del invierno, reunirnos en torno al fuego. En el primer año, nos descubrimos las claves de los procesos colectivos ( atender a la persona, al objetivo/visión del colectivo, al proceso y siempre en conexión con los principios y o valores que nos unen y el planeta), en el segundo nos enfocamos en descubrir rutas para facilitarnos a las personas la participación e implicación ( La tensión persona-colectivo, como activadora de procesos, aprender a ser creativ@s culturales), en el tercero nos confrontamos a la materialización, investigando nuestros caminos interiores para ser capaces de llevar a lo concreto nuestras aspiraciones ( El colectivo como espacio de confianza para romper limites que solas seria muy costoso, materializar lo que soñamos, juntas) Este cuarto año nuestra invitación es una propuesta de investigación, cuestionamiento y focalización en lo que ocurre en los proyectos colectivos y organizaciones sociales en torno a su propia estructura, la gobernanza y los liderazgos. Pensamos que hay una gran necesidad de afinar en la Cultura de lo grupal, de lo comunitario, de lo colectivo en torno a estos temas. Creemos mas urgente cada día que pasa, involucrarnos totalmente en una Transición; de este mundo ya conocido y en plena decadencia, a una forma de organizar nuestras vidas anclada en valores capaces de construir y sostener ese mundo soñado, intuido, anhelado por tantas personas a lo largo de nuestro humano caminar… Esa transición no la van a liderar quienes lideran el hoy, somos las soñadoras, los perroflautas, las creativas culturales… quienes si o si, estamos invitadas a liderar esta Transición, en equipos, ecoaldeas, comunidades, grupos, redes, colectivos, cooperativas, empresas sociales etc… por esto resulta también urgente darnos herramientas para que los procesos colectivos sean capaces de sostener la necesid

3er Encuentro de Mujeres

La Ecoaldea Anthakaran, desea compartir contigo el III encuentro de mujer, montaña y luna. 16, 17 y 18 de Agosto 2014. Juntas, conjuraremos el estar vivas. Tejeremos la hermandad floreciendo desde nuestro esplendor y gracia. Hasta los pájaros vociferarán los secretos de amantes taciturnos que se tatuaron en los recónditos del alma. El patriarcado nos ha dado las coordenadas en las que se nos permite movernos en nuestra sexualidad. Sabemos qué se espera de nosotras: se espera que seamos objeto, no sujeto; se espera que seamos pasivas, no activas, se espera físico; las emociones y sensaciones y las ideas tiene como efecto una vida sexual más gozosa y consciente. El hecho de vivir en una sociedad y cultura patriarcales tiene efectos en todas las áreas de nuestra existencia: físicas, emocionales y mentales. En este taller vamos a trabajar dinámicas corporales especialmente diseñadas para revertir dichos efectos. Uno de los centros vitales para la toma de conciencia del poder que toda mujer porta en su interior es el útero. Conectar con él y liberarlo de las ataduras, nos permite vivir centradas y desplegar nuestro potencial. Beneficios: – Mejora el placer sexual. – Partos más fáciles y cortos. – Menstruaciones sin dolor. – Mayor seguridad personal. – Aumentar la creatividad y la vitalidad… ¿Dónde esta mi alegría? ¿A qué se parece? ¿Acaso me he perdido en el bosque y ya no puedo observar el mundo multicolor de duendes y hadas que antes se deslizaba en mí con un movimiento de cascada? Algunas veces nuestro cuerpo y sentir parece dormitar, queremos invitarte a un nuevo despertar a conversar con los secretos, en el fondo de nuestro ser hay un jardín sediento de mirada y nuevos amaneceres. Algunas de las actividades que tendremos para despertarnos son: + Qi Gong de la mujer. + Temazcal de mujeres. + Bendición de útero. + Ceremonia de las diosas. + Taller: Cómo llegarnos a honrar. + Círculos de Palabra. + Reordenamiento de nuestra energía
