What we do

Tärkkilä Center for Sustainable Culture is located by the lake Sovijärvi. 10 hectares area is donated to start Ikikaiku Foundation. It contains a protected courtyard, a permaculture forest garden area and lake side forest where flying squirrels are nesting. 4 hectares by the lake will be officially protected. We are in prosess to become a LAND-center, now LAND-learner.
On the western side of the road we have another 10 ha where the Tärkkilä Rune Village is taking shape: a sociocraticly governed community of teachers of sustainability skills. Building site by the lake to build village saunas.
At the moment we are three. By the end of the year 2020 our permaculture plan will be published and we will open application procedure to find devotees to take care of all the ten individual sites with building possibility to max 50m2 of warm area.

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.
