What we do

Familiafeliz started with 4 members with more than 25 years of living, working and developing a community life together with 50 to 100 guests each year (mostly in our Spanish destination).
We are involved in social projects like summer schools in Romania, we are involved in educative projects together with universities (MLU Halle, Biodidaktik) and we are involved in alternative gardening and bio construction and we are running an art gallery and some European art projects.
We started in 2025 to invite for a “tertulia of living communities every second friday of a month! Next events on our web.
Among other activities around the artist residence CASA DEL DRAGON we found
and develop a dye garden. This garden is part of the worldwide project sevengardens.org and we are happy to announce the first garden of this UNESCO certified project in PaĂ­s Valenciano.
The garden is located close to the village of Cervera del Maestre in the province of Castellon. In this unit, we aim to explore and use knowledge of plants and sustainable production of pigments and usable colours for artists (ink, watercolour, oil colour…).
We also wish to share our knowledge and experience with other dye gardens around the world and develop an internal market to exchange seeds, tools and plants.
In conjunction with the official education center of the sevengardens founder Peter Reichenbach in Dinslaken, Germany, we offer workshops and studies.
Since 2014 we offer workshops, mostly free. We founded a free (Uni)versity of (i)nformal (e)ducation. The campus is our dye garden, or vegetable garden, the artist residence, and its facilities.
We are looking for open-minded new members in Spain and in Germany. We are also expanding the community into new countries and other locations (we are decentralized).
In our charter, we published on 2 pages the basic rules under we live together (download on our homepage under menue service).
Please apply by using one of our forms you find on our website ( menue > apply ).

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.

Autumn PDC 2017 Greece, Tinos Island

Autumn 2017 Permaculture Design Course 23 September – 5 October (12 days, 80 hours certificate) Led by Andrew Jordan and Elena Symeonidou We are excited to announce the second FULL PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE (PDC) that will be hosted in Tinos Eco-lodge with two knowledgeable teachers Andrew Jordan from Ireland and Elena Symeonidou from Greece. The Permaculture Design Certificate The Permaculture Design Certificate is an 80 hour theoretical course based on Bill Mollison’s Designers Manual, teaching how we can use today’s tools and technology to create a more sustainable world. Permaculture is not only about growing vegetables and animals, it is a whole sustainable lifestyle. Permaculture ethics are Earth Care, People Care and Return of Surplus and this is taught by showing students to focus on local resources and their local community, and to have well thought out design practices to create abundance sustainably. Andrew and Elena aim at inspiring students with their own very real examples of transforming their lives with permaculture in a contemporary context. Having worked in a broad spectrum of climate and social conditions, they will share with their students the thrills but also the challenges they faced. Oftentimes permaculture is being presented as a panacea for world problems and the road to resilience and abundance is depicted as straightforward and easy. Andrew and Elena will challenge this notion and try to prepare their students in a realistic manner for their own fascinating journey towards change. Nikos will share his hands-on experience of building the ecolodge and designing the energy, water, plant and waste systems. We will have the rare opportunity to discuss and elaborate on Nikos’ and Marilia’s choices on different aspects of their project, reflect on the challenges, opportunities and limitations. Anyone who wants to bring a big change in his life and gain a thorough understanding of how we can use our natural e
