What we do

La Red de Reservas Kunagua es una agrupación de reservas ubicadas en la cuenca media del río Victoria (Vereda Victoria Alta, Silvania, Cundinamarca), que comparten el propósito de cuidar el agua, el bosque que las rodea y los seres que lo habitan. Tras diecinueve años de constituida, la red está conformada por 30 fincas y más de 80 hectáreas, se ha consolidado un corredor biológico con una gran riqueza natural. La diversidad de prácticas que se realizan en las fincas, pasando por agroecología, permacultura, ancestralidad, arte, bioconstrucción, medicina y pedagogía alternativa, entre otros, hacen de la Red un lugar ideal para adentrarse en la transición a un estilo de vida en armonía con la Naturaleza.
En el proceso de transición a la agroecología, recuperando prácticas tradicionales como los cultivos orgánicos, el cuidado de semillas criollas, la elaboración de abonos naturales, la rotación de cultivos, entre otros. Además, se adelantan emprendimientos para la transformación de algunos de los productos agrícolas cosechados en el territorio, como la elaboración de miel de yacón, los chips de yacón y kale, y el uso medicinal de la marihuana, entre otros. En cuanto a la bioconstrucción, en varias reservas se exploran técnicas y materiales más amables con la naturaleza. Es frecuente el uso de la guadua y la madera -cosechada de forma consciente y racional-, y emergen prácticas tradicionales como el bahareque, antes comunes en el territorio, que están recuperando su valor al ser reconocidos como alternativa ante los efectos contaminantes de materiales industriales como el cemento. En el ámbito artístico, sobresale la presencia de varias familias de músicos, formados en distintas regiones de Colombia, en especial en el género de gaitas y tambores,…

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.

Natural Building Workshop

Come study the art and practice of natural finishes. Learn how to utilize breathable, low impact, non-toxic materials to make protective, beautiful and durable finishes. In this in-depth hands-on workshop you will be applying earthen plaster to the interior and exterior of a Tiny Home, the Cedar Nest, at Wilson Creek Gardens. The Project The Cedar Nest is an on going project that started in 2013 utilizing 95% repurposed materials from a 1920’s home and from the land at WCG. The structure is designed to demonstrate simple construction techniques in a small footprint, 11’x16’. It was in-filled with a straw clay slip last year and now is ready for the walls to receive the final plaster layer. We will be utilizing mostly on-site materials. What You Will Learn: • Sourcing and processing materials for making your own healthy, low cost finishes! • Proper methods for natural ingredients when preparing and applying clay based plaster. • Practice making and applying other types of finishes which can be applied to other surfaces such as; cement, bricks, drywall and latex paint. • The many advantages of constructing a tiny home with ecologically friendly building techniques. Who will benefit from this workshop? Builders, homesteaders, homeowners, interior decorators and artists enjoy being able to make and apply these healthy finishes successfully to both interior and exterior walls. Class cost: Three-day: $320.00 Includes: meals and camping: $20.00 Early bird discount (if register by 6/24) Daily rate: $ 110.00 Includes lunch. Location: Wilson Creek Gardens (http://cascadiapermaculture.com) Class will be held on the site of a 7-acre homestead and permaculture demonstration site located outside Cottage Grove, Oregon Registration: Contact je************@***il.com Instructor Eva Edleson is a talented natural builder, cook, gardener, and craftswoman.
