What we do

Trillium is a wilderness community and retreat center tucked into a vast valley of the Siskiyou Mountains of Southern Oregon. From ridgetop to the riverside, we are immersed in pristine nature where we have the opportunity to develop unique skills, share knowledge, or simply enjoy this breathtakingly fertile and rugged landscape.
Available NOW: “Gompa Sol” – perched on a south-facing ridge with spectacular views. This 890 s.f., 2-story cabin needs to be remodeled extensively or rebuilt to be habitable. The site is gently sloped and lends itself to a cabin design that’s nestled into the hillside on the north, and glazed to the south – a perfect setup for a passively heated and cooled structure. Manzanita, oak, and madrone trees makeup the nearby forest. This secluded site is offered for $95,000. At this time there are other cabins available to live in on the property during the construction phase.
“Ridgetop” – nestled in white oak trees along the ridge is a rustic but comfortable 360 s.f., 2-story cabin. This hand-built cabin has a kitchen with a gas stove, lofted bedroom with queen bed and views to the treetops, and a sitting room with magnificent sunrise/sunset views. Offered for $105,000.00
These cabins both have epic locations. While this provides amazing views and privacy, it also lends itself to rustic-living realities of accessibility, water, and power. Access is via a dirt road with limited vehicle access in wet conditions (golf cart ok, car is not). Both are off-grid without water hook-up although there is excellent south-facing solar access for an off-grid array and location is ideal for a rainwater catchment system installation. Well and spring water is available elsewhere on the property to drive up to the cabins in the meantime. With some investment and resourcefulness, you can readily bring these up to your standard of living. Our community is in full support of its members living well.

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.

Autumn PDC 2017 Greece, Tinos Island

Autumn 2017 Permaculture Design Course 23 September – 5 October (12 days, 80 hours certificate) Led by Andrew Jordan and Elena Symeonidou We are excited to announce the second FULL PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE (PDC) that will be hosted in Tinos Eco-lodge with two knowledgeable teachers Andrew Jordan from Ireland and Elena Symeonidou from Greece. The Permaculture Design Certificate The Permaculture Design Certificate is an 80 hour theoretical course based on Bill Mollison’s Designers Manual, teaching how we can use today’s tools and technology to create a more sustainable world. Permaculture is not only about growing vegetables and animals, it is a whole sustainable lifestyle. Permaculture ethics are Earth Care, People Care and Return of Surplus and this is taught by showing students to focus on local resources and their local community, and to have well thought out design practices to create abundance sustainably. Andrew and Elena aim at inspiring students with their own very real examples of transforming their lives with permaculture in a contemporary context. Having worked in a broad spectrum of climate and social conditions, they will share with their students the thrills but also the challenges they faced. Oftentimes permaculture is being presented as a panacea for world problems and the road to resilience and abundance is depicted as straightforward and easy. Andrew and Elena will challenge this notion and try to prepare their students in a realistic manner for their own fascinating journey towards change. Nikos will share his hands-on experience of building the ecolodge and designing the energy, water, plant and waste systems. We will have the rare opportunity to discuss and elaborate on Nikos’ and Marilia’s choices on different aspects of their project, reflect on the challenges, opportunities and limitations. Anyone who wants to bring a big change in his life and gain a thorough understanding of how we can use our natural e
