TerraVitae – Providing a new, clean secure way of living in the 21st century

About me

TerraVitae is the product of a changing political and economical climate which has become quite concerning over the last few years. Ecovillages were once an idea that were only reserved for the extreme lovers of the earth, and those who who would be labelled ‘’hippys’’ and such. However with the changes that have been going on in the world in the last few years, from the suspicious COVID pandemic to the ever increasing inflation and energy crisis (pushing the cost of living for the average person into unaffordable territory), more and more ‘’normal’’ people are starting to look for an alternative to the ‘’standard’’ way of living. We also live in a time where the level of toxins and pesticides in the food we eat is ever increasing, and living in a normal society, we are left with little to no options for cleaner alternatives. Many westerners are accustomed to certain processes and securities when it comes to buying land and building a home. Things such as land titles, reputable builders and so on are factors that most financially stable people need to see when purchasing a new home. Most ecovillages available around the world offer clean living, and an ability to be ‘’off grid’’, however they generally lack the financial security that most people need when buying or building a new home.
With all of this being said, we had decided that we would create TerraVitae.
TerraVitae was created to provide the clean off grid living that a normal ecovillage can provide, with the financial security of a standard home purchase/investment. TerraVitae is also a livable ecovillage that is practical, in that we are providing access to internet and other things that most 21st century families need to live a realistic and sustainable life. In essence, TerraVitae is the perfect balance of clean off grid living, without being completely cut off from the world for those who still need to work and operate businesses in the real world.
The team responsible for TerraVitae live in Merida, Yucatan and know the processes and culture extremely well. Currently operating an Expat Service Provider, we have the best of both worlds in that we understand first hand some of the concerns when it relates to moving to Mexico (as we have done it ourselves), and also know the local land just as well as locals, as we have spent many years building valuable relationships with local partners to get this project completed.

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.

Revocos de Tierra Arcillosa:de A a Z

Revoques de Tierra: de A a Z en ”Arterra Bizimodu”: Artieda, Navarra (30 min. al este de Pamplona) 4 Módulos: Abril-Junio 2016 Instructora: Rikki Nitzkin (www.rikkinitzkin.wordpress.com) Toda La Información:https://rikkinitzkin.wordpress.com/revoques-de-tierra-arterra/ Inscripciones: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eQRlshvm2on7iMyny3Pcx3YBCX_4_l6dAaVRNvxz97o/viewform Módulo 1: 23-24 Abril 2016; Conocer el Barro Módulo 2: 7-8 Mayo 2016; Revoques de “Cuerpo” Módulo 3: 28-29 Mayo 2016; Acabados Módulo 4: 11-12 Junio 2016; Técnicas Decorativas & Pinturas —————————————————————————– Introducción: La Tierra Arcillosa es un material maravilloso. Se pude usar para muchísimas cosas: platos, cazuelas, esculturas, muros, suelos… y también para revoques. Un revoque de barro grueso puede usarse para nivelar una pared irregular, añadir inercia térmica a una pared “ligera” (ej. paja, madera o yeso), para ayudar a mantener una temperatura ideal en la casa; también sirve para regular la humedad dentro de la vivienda. Además, es flexible, agradable de trabajar y da un acabado acogedor y bello a cualquier ambiente. Se adapta con igual facilidad a formas rectas y orgánicas. Es ecológico, saludable renovable, reciclable, y de bajo impacto medio-ambiental. Y encima de todo eso…¡es sumamente hermosa! Descripción del curso: Os invito a venir a conocer las técnicas y conocimientos necesarios para utilizar los revoques de Tierra Arcillosa en cualquier superficie: Paja, piedra, madera/tableros, ladrillos… Recomiendo que asistan los 4 módulos, ya que el conocimiento se va acumulando poco a poco, pero dejo libre la opción de asistirles por separado. —————————————————————————– Módulo 1: Conocer el Barro La Tierra Arcillosa se tiene que combinar con más ingredientes (áridos y fibras) para utilizarlo para revocar. Si no se hace, se agrietará o será débil.
