What we do

Treehouse Village Ecohousing began with a dream: to create a neighbourhood where people know and support each other, while caring for the Earth. That dream grew into a multi-year journey of planning, designing, and building a community rooted in sustainability and connection.
We are Atlantic Canada’s first cohousing community, nestled in 15-acres of forest in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia (Sin So’sepe’katik) on the scenic South Shore of Nova Scotia, which is on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.
We are parents, children, retirees, teachers, writers, digital workers, social workers, carpenters, environmental educators, and more. Ranging in age from one year to 80+, we hail from Bridgewater, elsewhere in Nova Scotia, across Canada, and internationally. Besides English, we speak French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Dutch.
Treehouse Village includes 30 private condos designed with energy efficiency in mind, along with shared spaces that encourage community interaction. A Common House serves as the hub for communal meals, events, and gatherings. Outdoor amenities include gardens, play areas, walking paths, 11 acres of undeveloped forest, and natural green spaces that make the most of the surrounding environment.
Together, residents share responsibility for maintaining our spaces and supporting a neighbourhood centered on social connection, environmental sustainability, and multigenerational living.

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.
