What we do

Schweibenalp is a community, whose members by mindfully dealing with oneself and others make an active contribution to the strengthening of the field of consciousness of love, in which every human being can unfold its true potential.
The community at Schweibenalp explores and lives sustainable ways of living together and acting in the areas of community, spirituality, economy and ecology as possible models for a new world.
As a living and working community we manage the seminar business and the permaculture gardens of Schweibenalp. Depending on the season up to 30 people are living in the community. Additionally, every year numerous volunteers come to join us and support our work. As a part of the Global Ecovillages Network, we consider ourselves as one of the emerging models for a holistic cultural transformation. Therefore, a conscious lifestyle design considering the aspects of ecology, economy, the social and spirituality are important to us, influenced by values like respect for natural cycles, a fair economy and mindfully living together. In everyday life we connect in meetings, communal meals and by singing together as well as in special events such as rituals of thanksgiving, fire ceremonies, sweat lodges a.s.o. Mutual support and collective intelligence help us to overcome challenges and solve conflicts. The community encourages the members’ personal development.
Current members: 30
Current volunteers: 5-25
Ecological issues and permaculture are also very important to us.

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.

Coordinador de Eco-construcciĂłn

Coordinador de Eco-construcción Gracias por tu interés en Sunseed. Sunseed Tecnología del desierto esta buscando en este momento a un voluntario para el puesto de Coordinador de Eco-Construcción. Sunseed es un proyecto Británico basado en España, que busca desarrollar, demostrar y comunicar métodos de vida de bajo impacto accesibles y de tecnología simple, en un medio semi-árido. Información general Sunseed es una animada comunidad internacional y proyecto educativo de una plantilla de voluntarios y voluntarios y comprometidos con una conciencia medioambiental. Vivir en Sunseed como un miembro de la comunidad significa más que simplemente hacer bien tu trabajo, se espera de ti que porgas a tu entorno primero y a tus necesidades personales después. Las responsabilidades del Coordinador de Eco-Construcción y Mantenimiento son expensas y requieren cualidades muy variadas que van desde reparaciones de fontanería hasta carpintería. Voluntarios de muchos países vienen dispuestos a ayudar con el trabajo de construcción, a menudo con más entusiasmo que conocimientos. Así que hacen falta buenas cualidades técnicas y de supervisión junto con un excelente entendimiento de la necesidad de aplicar un claro estándar de Seguridad e Higiene. Una acequia de riego que data de la época musulmana atraviesa la aldea y es crucial para el riego de las tierras. La acequia requiere mucho mantenimiento, tanto para despejar pequeños derrumbes como para reparar perdidas de agua. En línea con nuestra filosofía reciclamos y reusamos material siempre que sea posible y hacemos el máximo uso de los materiales que se encuentran en la zona como piedras y canas del río. Sin embargo queremos incorporar mas materiales construcción ecológicos en el método tradicional de construcción. El trabajo incluye continua mejora de la infraestructura como reparación de tejados, reparación de puertas y ventanas y desatascar tuberías de los urinarios y del sistema de recolección de agua. Ha
