What we do

We are here in northwestern Ontario because we have clearly sustained irreparable traumatic damage and now cannot live without either the drone of mosquitoes or the tingly sensation of frostbite.
The ground is 1cm of topsoil over tens of meters of dense clay. Growing here is definitely a challenge but we would have it no other way.
Politically we are outside mainstream society by a long shot and believe that everyone in a community must have input in how it is governed.
Economically we believe that capitalism is a fatalistic philosophy that has put all life in jeopardy and we are attempting to develop something that is both more equitable and also beneficial to the ecosystems we all share.
We believe that the scientific method is the only way to know if something actually works and we want to incorporate that into everything we do.
We also believe that environmental and political collapse is already baked in to our current systems and we seek to find a way to not only survive the upcoming crises but emerge stronger and healthier from them.
We are probably insane but it makes perfect sense from our perspective.

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.
