What we do

Las Cañadas Bosque de Niebla is a centre for agro-ecology and permaculture, situated in one of the last remaining islands of the Bosque de Niebla- the forest of mist-, in Mexico’s central Veracruz region. Here, permaculture is used as a design tool with the aim of learning how to implement and share a sustainable way of living. We are continuously developing creative solutions to solve both social and environmental problems that persist in this era of accelerated climate change.
The centre is managed and administrated by the ‘Cooperativa de las Cañadas’, a cooperative consisting of more than 22 members/shareholders and together through cooperation we try to satisfy our basic needs. As well as practicing principles of permaculture, we engage with bioconstruction, eco-technologies, education and culture, health and spirituality and communal governance. In addition to this, we offer courses to share the knowledge we have acquired.

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.

3h pour créer un écovillage

À la question d’un journaliste « Que pensez-vous de la civilisation européenne ? », Gandhi répondait « C’est un beau projet ! ». “Nous sommes en 2018 après Jésus-Christ. Toute l’Europe est occupée par les écovillages… Toute? Non! Un petit pays d’irréductibles Gaulois résiste encore et toujours à l’embellisseur. Et la vie n’est pas facile pour les gaulois retranchés derrière leurs préjugés : hypocrisum, peurduchangemum, égoïstum et moidabordum.” Sommes-nous si résignés et apathiques que nous sommes prêts à voir s’effondrer une civilisation et une planète pour du confort et des peurs ? L’idéal comme la Nature a déserté nos pensées. À peine sont-ils exprimés qu’ils sont directement dénigrés et mis au placard. Une civilisation qui se coupe en permanence de son futur et de la Nature est une civilisation à l’agonie. Nos désillusions sont-elles en train de nous mener à l’inertie ? Expérimentation sociale du changement de civilisation. Vécu en accéléré de la création d’un écovillage. Expérience des Lois de la Nature et du fonctionnement d’un groupe. Il est temps de tout reprendre à zéro : les écovillages sont le commencement d’un nouveau monde. Quelles valeurs, quelles actions, quels choix vont nous guider ? Pas à pas, imaginons ensemble la création d’un écovillage. Nous avons 3 heures pour changer le monde… ou en récréer un ! INTERVENANTS : Gabriel Lechemin Ambassadeur France du Global Ecovillage Network, formé à la conception d’écovillages à Auroville. Médiateur relationnel formé à la facilitation de conflits. Permaculteur. Facilitateur en Méditation et approche des émotions. Gabriel Lechemin a voyagé et vécu pendant 3ans au sein de plus de 30 écovillages d’Europe puis d’Inde. Il consacre son temps à l’aide à la création d’écolieux et écovillages en France. Il est co-fondateur d’Écoliens. Philippe Rovere Explorons comment la dynami
