What we do

Gaia Ashram is a community-based education center on Deep Ecology, Permaculture and Ecovillage Design Education and other sustainable living practices. It is our aim to live in harmony with nature and all her beings. We have day to day tune-in to keep ourselves attuned to the land and the beings.
Gaia Ashram is working on ecosystem regeneration. Currently, we are transforming 6 hectares of degraded landscape into an abundant forest. We use agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, natural farming, and permaculture as some of our tools to regenerate the land. Gaia Ashram is in the process of establishing a small regenerative social enterprise called Gaia Essence which creates and makes natural products mostly from our land and forests. It is our aim to work with local villagers to develop these natural products. We work with local community and together with the village and village school initiate Eco School Model project in the village school where climate change adaptations are introduced in the school.
We are open to receive volunteers, interns, guests and also open for long-term community members to join the team to create abundance together.

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.
