What we do

Earthsong Foundation is a land‑based regenerative community and nonprofit on Hawaiʻi Island focused on ecological restoration, permaculture education, and reciprocal place‑care. Born from a response to ecological decline and a desire to live in right relationship with place, Earthsong practices hands‑on stewardship of soils, water, habitat, and food forests while honoring the Earth as the primary teacher and spiritual guide for the community.
Our principles: Earth Care (restore ecosystems and build soil fertility), People Care (nurture wellbeing, responsibility, and skill‑sharing), and Share the Surplus (circulate food, knowledge, and resources back into the community and landscape). We host residents, volunteers, and learners for immersive, experiential training in permaculture design, regenerative agriculture, and habitat restoration, using the site as a living classroom and demonstration site.
Daily life blends practical labor—gardening, tree care, infrastructure maintenance—with organic communal practices: shared meals, skill‑shares, and mutual support of one another’s wellbeing. Governance emphasizes reliability, mutual aid, and long‑term ecological thinking. We center place‑based knowledge, respect local cultural relationships to land, and aim to model resilient, low‑impact living that increases biodiversity, food sovereignty, and community resilience.
Earthsong aspires to multiply practical capacity for regeneration by sharing methods, mentoring new stewards, and demonstrating how reciprocal human communities can restore and sustain thriving landscapes and cultures.

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.
