What we do

O Sítio Maracananduva, conhecido carinhosamente como SitiOm, é um verdadeiro oásis verde, localizado em Vargem Grande Paulista, a 40km da capital. Um espaço Eco-Cultural, que conta com uma casa colonial datada de 1790, construída em taipa de pilão, em meio a um bosque de jabuticabeiras, protegida pela vegetação do Bioma da Mata Atlântica.
Acreditamos na humanidade como mais um fio na “teia da vida”, onde cada elemento da natureza deve ser preservado e respeitado para garantir o equilíbrio da Biosfera. Além disso, entendemos que os problemas ecológicos atuais estão profundamente conectados aos problemas sociais. Assim, para que possamos seguir o caminho da preservação, ao invés da destruição, é necessário transformar profundamente as relações humanas: Eu comigo mesmo, eu com o outro e eu com o meio ambiente.
Pensando em novas formas de nos relacionar, nossa sede é uma moradia coletiva, onde a complexidade das relações humanas é um desafio para cada indivíduo, que pouco a pouco vai mudando sua rotina individualista e dando espaço para hábitos coletivos. Um aprendizado constante!
Ao abrirmos um pouco mais a visão, vemos que além de nos mesmos e a sociedade, existe também a Terra, o planeta que habitamos. Para transformar nossa relação com ela, utilizamos a Permacultura como ferramenta. São técnicas para se viver se forma sustentável, gerando resiliência e autonomia, por meio do resgate de saberes ancestrais unidos a novas tecnologias.
Nosso objetivo é fortalecer caminhos que nos levam a compreender novas formas de viver em harmonia, pois quando corpo, mente e espírito estão alinhados, o Ser Humano vive em conexão com o todo, se sentindo parte de um organismo vivo: a sociedade e o planeta em que habitamos, gerando impactos positivos na natureza e deixando marcas de respeito e amor na sociedade.
Procuramos prover um ambiente seguro para a criação e desenvolvimento de projetos ligados ao nosso intento de cuidar das relações, gerar autonomia e resgatar saberes ancestrais.

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.
