What we do

In the village center of Borlo (Gingelom) we are developing a social, ecological and future-oriented project: Het Abtshof. We are converting a historic square farm into an intergenerational cohousing with 12 residential units and various common areas such as a large kitchen and hall, workshops, guest rooms, laundry room,… and plenty of play space for children to grow up. We have the ambition to live, work, share, grow and inspire each other together.
The Abtshof is a housing cooperative and includes, in addition to the buildings, a piece of land of 2 ha with a garden, meadow and agricultural land with a new orchard, 2 greenhouses and vegetable cultivation.
The cooperative owns the whole, the residents are shareholders. This structure allows to create living spaces that are adaptable to any family situation. It is a project in full growth: new input is welcome, co-creation is possible and there is potential to develop activities that fit within the vision. We are thinking of a permaculture agricultural project, farm shop, bakery, woodworking studio, yoga studio, creative studio, beekeeping,…

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.

Taller impartido por Irene Goikolea

“Entrenando el corazón y la mente para cocrear un nuevo futuro” Vivir una vida “despierta” conlleva sabiduría, curación, paz y amor a nuestro alrededor. El objetivo de este taller es proporcionar las herramientas básicas para “despertar” y mantener este nivel de conciencia en el día a día. La vida cotidiana nos refleja la realidad que construimos desde nuestro interior. Todo lo que excluimos o negamos de nosotros mismos emerge a la superficie como síntomas de cualquier tipo como estrés, conflictos interpersonales continuos, falta de vitalidad, reactividad ante las decisiones, relaciones dependientes, sensación de bloqueo, estancamiento o depresión. Por tanto, cualquier oportunidad de la vida cotidiana se convierte en el escenario perfecto para transformar las causas que originan dichos síntomas y practicar el despertar. De este modo, evitaremos ser arrastrados por imágenes como el miedo, la desconfianza, la duda o la traición y fomentaremos un nuevo espacio para liberar nuestro potencial y creatividad relegados en nuestra sombra (la parte excluida de la persona que se tiende a ocultar por considerarla inapropiada). El fundamento de este taller es el trabajo de introspección individual en un escenario grupal, lo cual permite identificar las dinámicas relacionales inconscientes para liberar la carga emocional que contienen. Esto genera nuevas percepciones que contribuyen a reconocer lo que está excluido dentro de nosotros con el fin de integrarlo y recuperar el impulso vital y la capacidad empática. Este proceso se verá favorecido por un alineamiento de mente, impulso y acción. Irene Goikolea, life coach, cuenta con más de 20 años de experiencia en el campo interrelacional del “nuevo nosotros”, creado a partir de la expansión de la conciencia individual del yo que incluye al otro. Así mismo, es experta en el trabajo de sombra. En sus seminarios y taller
