What we do

Community of family estates Chmyrivka was founded in 2010 by three families with the aim of living common life with a nature, finding the spiritual path, making own special eco-space, creating a new style of relationship between people.
Community of family estates was founded in Cherkassy region, Chygyryn area, in the village Chmyrivka, near riverbed, among the picturesque hills and gills, surrounded by beautiful forest. We also have some lakes here.
The nearest regional centre Chygyryn is 25 km away and only 50 km to the administrative centre of Cherkassy region – Cherkassy.
At the present moment 13 families with 18 children permanently live in our eco-village.
11 families have been living here for more than 2 years.
6 children were born in the community.
We practice home birth in Chmyrivka.
Some families come here at warm season or at weekends.
We have some locals which take active part in eco-village social life.
Most of eco-village people are vegetarians. One family is raw vegan. The others consciously try to minimize their volume of eating meat.
Our girls prepare handiworks and organize traditional Ukrainian holidays called Kolyada, Kupala, Maslyana with concerts, round dances and performances. They practice home schooling at eco-village.
On the territory of an old ex-club we organize performances during winter. We are planning to construct a new big common building that will give us possibility to organize a school for child and adults development, to accept guests, to hold common meetings and competitions.
We create eco-tourism projects. We play ping-pong and volleyball.
Eco-village is opened for visitors for scheduled events and excursions only by previous agreements.We accept volunteers only on a base of previous agreement.
In eco-village we are vegetarians, do not use alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

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.

Sign up here to join the free live stream. Ken Wilber and Doshin Roshi Honouring the role communities have played in the transformation of the world up until now – the movement from modernity to postmodernity. Highlighting the pain and struggles within these organisations – beliefs, values and preferences that contribute to a sense of ‘stuckness’. Creating curiosity about the medicine needed to support a breakthrough to the next level – what might communities of tomorrow look like once they have embodied this medicine? Sharing inspiration and support to expand the potential of each community – deepening the transformational impulse around the world. Join in as this event will be streamed live to communities, holistic centres and ecovillages around the world. The transformational and eco communities of today grew out of the 1960s era that has been called postmodern—the gifts of multiculturalism, diversity, inclusion, sensitivity, eco awareness. Some of the struggles include co-creating healthy hierarchies, effective decision making, attracting younger people, financial sustainability. Ken Wilber outlines the significance of this rare dialogue offered as a free live broadcast to post modern communities around the world, one that focuses on growing up, waking up, cleaning up and showing up: “The postmodern communities of transformation, including Findhorn, did two profoundly important things: in relative truth, they introduced an enchanted world instead of the disenchanted wasteland; and in ultimate Truth, they simpl
