What we do

Nafonte is a small intentional community where we aim to live a more connected live; to ourselves, each other and nature. We have a beautiful piece of land in the lush green hills of the North near Arcos de Valdevez with a river crossing it and a waterfall. There is an old farm house that will be renovated and will serve as a shared community space. All community members will have their own low impact living space on the land. We envision living here with a few families, max 10 adults plus children.
For us living at the same land is at the heart of what we want to create. To take care of mother earth and each other, create beauty by following your joy, to learn again to live as a community. Our way of living includes regular sharings, morning practice, tantra, spiritual practice, ceremonies, permaculture and shared vegetarian meals. Of course living close to each other will bring up a lot of emotional stuff. We look for people that are willing and motivated like us to do the inner work and grow from that. Not only for our personal benefit but as a way to contribute to a world of peace and natural abundance.

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.
