What we do

Are you sick and tired of the hustle and bustle of urban living? Are you concerned over the health of you and your family with pollution from traffic, factories and other man made toxins which you are exposed to on a daily basis? Are you wanting to rid yourself of the chemicals and pesticides found in the food that is sold at the local supermarkets? If so, then it’s time to move to TerraVitae.
TerraVitae is an ecovillage made up of 180 lots (spread over 3 stages of development) based in the Yucatan State in Mexico, which provides a community of like-minded people looking to live off the earth, and have a happier and healthier lifestyle. Our focus is health, happiness, and a peaceful way of living away from the toxic modern way of life. Although a community of likeminded people, you are able to live your life individually, on your own block of land, and build the home of your dreams. Located just over an hour away from Merida (the capital city of the Yucatan), residents of TerraVitae are completely off grid, living a self-sustainable life, however you are still located close enough to Merida for regular trips if required.
TerraVitae is more than just a land development where you can build your own home. We are a full service provider helping you with your residency, construction and any other plans you have while living in Mexico. We are with you from the time you step off the plane to the time you move into your new home and beyond.

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.
