What we do

Cristaland, tucked within nature’s embrace, is a haven of healing. Here, rejuvenation awaits beneath our ancient trees, as community camaraderie and engaging events foster internal and external healing.
Our 12-hectare expanse brims with cork, pine, fig, eucalyptus, olive, and palm trees – natural sanctuaries cleansing and healing in harmony with our community.
We cherish sharing this enchanting realm, welcoming all who find comfort here, be they guests, volunteers, or family. In Cristaland, societal expectations dissolve – here, everyone is free to be their authentic self. Our ‘Peaceful Kingdom’ is an open family where all who respect our rules become part of our collective journey.
Our philosophy transcends the traditional notion of ‘MINE’. To us, this land belongs to all who tread upon it. Each person at Cristaland pledges to serve this land, enhancing its beauty, restoring its balance, and guarding it from harm.
Despite the expansiveness of our property, it maintains a close-knit community spirit. Yet, it also affords space for solitude. Its strategic location, cocooned in verdant nature, is but a stone’s throw from the vibrant city of Lagos, with its stunning beaches and bustling markets.
In our community, we embrace diversity and shun judgment.
Our ‘kingdom’ is governed by Love, aiming to foster an environment where each individual can flourish as their best self. Join us at Cristaland, where love leads and healing blossoms.

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.
