What we do

Huehuecoyotl se encuentra en Tepoztlán, en el estado de Morelos, al sur de Ciudad de México. Es conocida como la “tribu de los coyotes”, que existe desde hace casi cuatro décadas. Su nombre significa “coyote viejo”.
En esta ecoaldea cada familia renta su espacio y el dinero recolectado es usado para pagar servicios de administración en labores como el mantenimiento de sus zonas comunes. Algunos de los miembros ofrecen sus servicios, también se organizan cursos y talleres de capacitación. Cuentan con una huerta orgánica donde siembran lechuga, cebolla, zanahorias, hortalizas, frijol, tomate, plantas medicinales, y todos los que habitan allí pueden aportar para que se mantenga esta producción con la posibilidad de acceder a ella y consumirla, generando hábitos de alimentación orgánica, sana y equilibrada.
En sus terrenos poseen un bosque comestible, que cuenta con veinte tipos diferentes de árboles frutales, algunos endémicos, otros con especies adaptadas, de los cuales se abastecen durante todo el año.
En Huehuecoyotl cuentan con baños secos, que a través de la compostación y la desecación degrada la materia fecal, evitando el desperdicio de agua. Además, mediante biofiltros purifican y recolectan el agua de lluvia para su reutilización. Para ello poseen una cisterna que almacena hasta 400 litros, de esta forma se autoabastecen de este líquido.
Cuando fue creada la ecoaldea en el terreno que hoy ocupan, éste fue distribuido entre los fundadores construyendo casas de 300 y 600 metros cuadrados, dependiendo si estaban solos o en pareja, para mantener la equidad. Hoy son 14 casas, y hay otros espacios comunitarios como un teatro, una casa comunal, una cocina, y algunas habitaciones reservadas para huéspedes.
Allí habitan algunos de los abuelos de la comunidad, quienes son los fundadores de la ecoaldea, y también algunos de sus hijos y sus nietos.
Por todas estas razones… ¡Ven a conocer Huehuecoyotl!

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.
