What we do

Walden ou a vida nos bosques é uma autobiografia do escritor transcendentalista Henry David Thoreau. A obra é considerada, simultaneamente, como uma declaração de independência pessoal, uma experiência social, uma viagem de descoberta espiritual e um manual para a autossuficiência.
Publicado em 1854, Walden é um manifesto poético contra a civilização industrial, que então ganhava força nos Estados Unidos.
Diante da crescente complexidade da vida social estadunidense, derivada do crescimento exponencial da industrialização e urbanização,Thoreau, insatisfeito com o modo de vida na sociedade e procurando eliminar o desperdício e a ilusão deste, propõe o retorno ao simples (Wikipedia).
Esta é a ideia fundamental do projeto WALDEN XXI. Construir, em meio a um sistema agroflorestal (SAF), em pequenas clareiras, refúgios, utilizando terra e outros materiais locais, uma ecovila, ou aldeia. Buscar no próprio local alternativas para produção de alimentos: horta, apiário, shiitake, palmito cultivado e, claro, o próprio SAF. Em uma segunda etapa investir na produção de energia. Para tanto uma represa já existente na propriedade possibilita a instalação de uma micro-hidrelétrica.

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.
