What we do

We are a holistic community (eco-village) dedicated to the theme of “Creating a Society Where All Lives Resonate.” Located in Nishiaizu Town, Fukushima Prefecture. We utilize the former branch school of an elementary school, engaging in rural living with volunteers from both domestic and international backgrounds. Through various initiatives such as the production of organic energetic food, self transformation within the community, mindfulness, and experimenting on sustainability, we strive to increase the number of individuals who can live holistically and authentically.

Social Media Intern

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.

Mongolia Hub- Power of Community Summit

We are excited to host the Power of Community online summit in Mongolia as a hub. The Permaculture Mongolia Club was established in 2016 with few enthusiasts in permaculture. We would like to provide awareness to the community and provide solutions for self sufficiency, green building and eco-friendly living.
