What we do

We are a family that has assumed custody of a property in the rural area of the Dominican Republic, with the intention of Co-Evolving with the life that takes place there. This experience is a School of Life, not only for us and our affective circle; It will also be so for our few neighbors, who today are preparing to abandon their places, attracted by the cities. We feel that abundance will be expressed again. We are currently exploring the possibility of incorporating other families or members, with the intention of forming a more resilient community.
Our Skins:
Ecological Dimension: The village is a toxic-free zone (since-2014). We use solar energy, we separate waste at source to recycle it, dry toilets are used and a rainwater harvesting and greywater management system is designed. External negative impacts are being reduced.
Social dimension: To build a community of peers where cooperation reigns and collective creativity flourishes as an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
Economic Dimension: Transcend the exclusively monetary, transform work into what it should always be; source of love and enjoyment. If abundance manifests itself, the monetary aspect will be less important.
Cognitive Dimension: Life will regenerate our vision, expanding our consciousness, overcoming the culture of domination in command and separation from 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.

Revocos de Tierra Arcillosa:de A a Z

Revoques de Tierra: de A a Z en ”Arterra Bizimodu”: Artieda, Navarra (30 min. al este de Pamplona) 4 Módulos: Abril-Junio 2016 Instructora: Rikki Nitzkin (www.rikkinitzkin.wordpress.com) Toda La Información:https://rikkinitzkin.wordpress.com/revoques-de-tierra-arterra/ Inscripciones: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eQRlshvm2on7iMyny3Pcx3YBCX_4_l6dAaVRNvxz97o/viewform Módulo 1: 23-24 Abril 2016; Conocer el Barro Módulo 2: 7-8 Mayo 2016; Revoques de “Cuerpo” Módulo 3: 28-29 Mayo 2016; Acabados Módulo 4: 11-12 Junio 2016; Técnicas Decorativas & Pinturas —————————————————————————– Introducción: La Tierra Arcillosa es un material maravilloso. Se pude usar para muchísimas cosas: platos, cazuelas, esculturas, muros, suelos… y también para revoques. Un revoque de barro grueso puede usarse para nivelar una pared irregular, añadir inercia térmica a una pared “ligera” (ej. paja, madera o yeso), para ayudar a mantener una temperatura ideal en la casa; también sirve para regular la humedad dentro de la vivienda. Además, es flexible, agradable de trabajar y da un acabado acogedor y bello a cualquier ambiente. Se adapta con igual facilidad a formas rectas y orgánicas. Es ecológico, saludable renovable, reciclable, y de bajo impacto medio-ambiental. Y encima de todo eso…¡es sumamente hermosa! Descripción del curso: Os invito a venir a conocer las técnicas y conocimientos necesarios para utilizar los revoques de Tierra Arcillosa en cualquier superficie: Paja, piedra, madera/tableros, ladrillos… Recomiendo que asistan los 4 módulos, ya que el conocimiento se va acumulando poco a poco, pero dejo libre la opción de asistirles por separado. —————————————————————————– Módulo 1: Conocer el Barro La Tierra Arcillosa se tiene que combinar con más ingredientes (áridos y fibras) para utilizarlo para revocar. Si no se hace, se agrietará o será débil.
