What we do

I am building the community that is close to nature and resembles a communal country-house. The culture of “summer country houses” is well developed in our country, but my view of this particular project is specific.
First of all I am going to run the community. I hope to find some good people – both families and individuals that will share the land, the buildings and some stuff on the place together. I expect these people to be free from such evils like smoking, alcoholism and drugs, and they will treat our environment with care and respect each other. I’d like to this community to develop into a shape of some cohousing ecovilage. I don’t insist if ones will permanently reside here; some may just come for a while (I am not going to live here), but one of the core rules lies in that the members should come and live here more than just for weekends and holidays. This is the strict rule; it practically restricts members from those leading “a common life”, that is regular working in the city 5 days per week. I don’t provide a pretty place for the rest between the work and “the necessary hard life”; the purpose is to reshape and to bring up life here on the place – both with work and holidays.
The membership is free for any charge; there is also the possibility to come as guest-volunteer (again, not for a weekends!).
At the moment there is a house and the land that I have bought. The place is 230 km to the east from Moscow in the low-populated wilderness area. It is the tiny village in the forest (most trees are pines). My place is very clean and nice. The closest inhabited village (with shops and a post-office) is 5 km through the forest. The house is old but quite appropriate for living all round-the-year. Right now I am living here alone, but ready to accept guests. There are possibilities to bye another house or lands legally of informal here; however I don’t see the necessity of any more expenses. There is no electricity here; I use the solar power to charge my phones and my notebook.
Advanced information about my project in Russian is published in the LJ-community common_house.livejournal.com

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.
