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.

Cosecha de Cafe

El periodo de cosecha se ha fraccionado bastante, por lo que se pudo observar plantas con frutos ya maduros – verdes y floreciendo al mismo tiempo. Generalmente se prefiere que la floración se concentre, así la cosecha también se concentrara… A la fecha hemos realizado 4 recogidas y pienso faltaran 2 para completar el proceso. Se ha establecido que la floración del café es inducida por estrés hídrico alternado por un periodo lluvioso… La floración en el 2015 fue tan errática como el clima. Manejo de la Cosecha La calidad del café está muy relacionada con el manejo al momento de cosecharlo Esta es la primera cosecha que manejamos en la Aldea y ha permitido identificar como podremos ir mejorando la calidad: 1. Se identificaron áreas con muchas plantas enfermas de fumagina que necesitan un manejo de la sombra o necesitan ser reanimadas con poda. 2. Hay que enfatizar en cosechar solo granos maduros (separar los verdes). 3. Despulpar inmediatamente después de la cosecha. 4. Mejorar las condiciones de lavado 5. En la actualidad multiplicamos microorganismos eficientes locales para aplicarlos en forma de té al suelo y a las plantas. 6. Se comienza a Identificar la vegetación (no agresiva) la que coopera con el establecimiento del colchón, debajo de la sombra. 7. Siembra de guineos en las áreas muy soleadas. En las próximas semanas tendremos a la venta parte del café cosechado, deseando que lo disfruten. Esperando que en el 2016 llueva mucho más café en la Ecoaldea, si es que el clima lo permite.

Taller impartido por Irene Goikolea

“Entrenando el corazón y la mente para cocrear un nuevo futuro” Irene Goikolea, life coach, cuenta con más de 20 años de experiencia en el campo interrelacional del nuevo nosotros, creado a partir de la expansión de la conciencia individual del yo que incluye al otro. Así mismo, es experta en el trabajo de sombra. Su principal objetivo es impactar en el despertar mutuo y en la transformación interior. En sus seminarios y talleres, Irene explora las múltiples posibilidades que existen en el espacio del “nosotros”, las cuales contribuyen al despertar de la conciencia colectiva. Este enfoque se basa en los valores de la sabiduría ancestral, sobre los que ha impulsado el retorno a una vida compartida, en sintonía con el nuevo paradigma evolutivo global. La vida cotidiana es la plataforma ideal para experimentar el conocimiento que se destila en cada uno de sus seminarios. Irene ha inspirado la fundación del proyecto Amalurra, formado por tres comunidades enfocadas en el desarrollo personal y colectivo. Formación: Máster universitario en Psicología Profunda, Constelaciones Familiares, rituales sistémicos, chamanismo, coaching, PNL, yoga y Reiki, entre otras disciplinas.

Mujeres que dialogan

Eres mujer, caminas en la vida, en algunos momentos te sientes sola… Despertemos juntas facetas que están dormidas y escondidas por miedos, por límites… Hagámoslo con arte y salero, risas y lágrimas. Te proponemos recorrer el camino con encuentros mensuales para compartir y explorar juntas lo que nos mueve, nos emociona, nos duele, nos preocupa y nos hace reír aquí y ahora. “Las personas más bellas con las que me he encontrado son aquellas que han conocido la derrota, conocido el sufrimiento, conocido la lucha, conocido la pérdida, y han encontrado su forma de salir de las profundidades. Estas personas tienen una apreciación, una sensibilidad y una comprensión de la vida que nos llena de compasión, humildad y una profunda inquietud amorosa. La gente bella no surge de la nada.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross ¿Quiénes somos? Somos cuatro mujeres amigas, artistas, escritoras y terapeutas que llevamos veinte años compartiendo un camino de exploración interior a través de los sueños, el arte y el teatro. De esta vivencia que compartimos surgió el deseo de abrirnos a otras mujeres. El compartir te lleva a descubrir quién eres, cuál es tu esencia, cuál es tu color, tu huella en el mundo. A través de actividades como el teatro, la visualización o la creatividad dialogaremos con nosotras mismas y con el grupo, ensanchando la percepción de nuestras esencias. Fechas: sábado 24 de octubre, sábado 21 de noviembre y sábado 19 de diciembre. Horario: 10:00 a 13:00 Precio: 20€/sesión Contactos: Claire Suanzes – cl***********@***oo.es – 659 884 354 Neus Valls – ne*************@***oo.es – 676 053 759 Centro Crealliance – Avda de la Victoria, 73 – 28023 Madrid – www.crealliance.net

Earth Activism - Workshop with Starh

In these troubling times, when our global leaders are failing to grapple with the immense threats to our climate, our environment, and our well-being, how do we find our personal power and confidence to step up into new realms and play on a larger stage? We can draw nourishment from nature and community. In this workshop, we’ll use ritual, meditation, guided journeys, dance and song to connect with the deep wellsprings of inspiration that the earth offers us. We will explore the internal and social barriers that keep us from stepping into our full power. And we’ll work with tools and insights that can help us become more effective co-creators of the new world we must bring to birth. This retreat will provide the opportunity to re-root your spirit, politics, and day-to-day life in a deeper relationship with the Earth. Starhawk tailors her workshop to her audience as much as she can and some of the work she does is dependent on who is present and what the questions are that come up in the work. About Starhawk (www.starhawk.org): Starhawk is an author, activist, permaculture designer and teacher, and one of the most respected voices in modern Goddess religion and earth-based spirituality. She is the author or coauthor of twelve books, including the classics The Spiral Dance and The Fifth Sacred Thing.

Seminarplace (www.schloss-tempelhof.de): The community Schloss Tempelhof was founded in 2010 and currently consists of 120 people.

Learn Permaculture Where it's LIVED

Setting. VerdEnergia Pacifica is situated in the mountainous region of Puriscal, Costa Rica. While the Puriscal area is largely deforested, we have worked hard to reforest our corner of the neighborhood and are happily situated in a lush jungle oasis with fresh spring water, lots of fruit trees and a few humble waterfalls. Our area is largely untouched by tourism and our local community embodies a true Costa Rican campo environment. Students have access to our facilities, including a yoga/dance studio, community library and a spring-fed swimming pool. Pricing. Course starts at $1775. A non-refundable $400 deposit is due upon your registration (this is not an additional fee). The rest is paid upon arrival in cash.
