What we do

Our world appears to be changing rapidly. Aside from chaotic geopolitics, many scientists see our climate crisis issue remaining unresolved. Concurring with Johan Rockstrom’s planetary boundaries science. Those aware of and perhaps having lived in other eco-villages, and other self-motivated individuals will bring what they learn and know on sustainable living. Learning and individual research is encouraged. An organized members list will be drawn up to become a social media community prior to swarm date. A target date to swarm / congregate in the valley is the spring of 2027. The Creston Valley location has been strategically selected based on local food production, local and provincial politics, a low climate change risk and distance from major urban areas. The town of Creston has a population of about 5000 and the surrounding valley another 10,000. This community proposes to become as a field site for cultural redesign. Creston Valley members will focus on living lifestyles that may be evaluated for research. Our valley has been measured by the Ecological Footprint in a published academic paper. Census villages and the ecological footprint: Alternate data sources, policy analyses, and communication – ScienceDirect, authored by Les W Kuzyk. The location also falls within the Cascadia bioregion and speculated political region which may have future potential.

How to join

You will or will plan to relocate to the Creston Valley, or live through association in another eco-village and target an alternate lifestyle. You will socialize with and/or otherwise engage with other community members, and/or a social media connection with other like-minded persons globally. There will be regular person to person meetings eventually, but also remote digital online communications via social media as it develops. At this time, you are a self-motivated idealist who believes in developing an alternate cultural model. You will figure a lot of things out on your own, and bring what you figure out to the attention of others and the community. If you have an academic interest, you may research, record and publish data to share with the broader cultural redesign community.

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.
