ECOVILLAGE DESIGN COURSE (EVD)

About the event

Join our very first Ecovillage Design Course at Rancho Mastatal! Ecovillages are intentional settlements that include indigenous villages, urban neighborhoods and new intentional communities. They are living laboratories for the development of regenerative tools to address the challenges that we face in our time.

In this course we will consider personal and systemic solutions in a creative, nourishing and sustainable way and that help us address the complex situations we are facing in our society .

We will use a holistic approach and learn how to co-create a regenerative culture within a wide-range of topics: social and ecological regeneration, economy and energy systems, governance and decision-making, nature, our inner nature, and more.

We will equip ourselves with the skills needed to create a diverse and regenerative culture that connects humans with nature, all life and ourselves. A culture in which we see each other as part of the bountiful and generous natural ecosystem that is the livelihood of every living being. A culture which gives us a greater feeling of belonging to the Earth and the Earth belonging to us.

You will Learn:

  • Social tools for personal and group transformation, empowerment and community building

  • Urban and rural solutions for transitioning to a resilient society

  • Local organic food production and right livelihood

  • Permaculture design introduction

  • Cooperative social economies and complementary currencies

  • Holistic decision-making processes, including nature and deep ecology

  • Communication skills and dealing with conflict

  • Distilling inner and outer resources to support your personal or professional project

  • Ecological building and community design

  • Cultural and Spiritual diversity practices

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.

Permaculture Design Course

In this program you will learn how to plan, create and nurture regenerative human settlements. You will gain new perspectives and understandings as well as a variety of tools for how we as human beings can become caretakers for the whole ecosystem; how we can create abundant and diverse community systems, gardens and landscapes by connecting to and understanding ourselves, our communities and our land in deeper ways. By learning to observe the patterns of life and its energy flows and cycles, by learning to work with them instead of against them, you will emerge with a complex skillset to bring about regenerative creative solutions in your life. This unique course brings Permaculture Design together with the indigenous cultural wisdom gathered by the international Nature Connection and Regenerative Culture movement and its networks, creating a cultural container that supports you on a journey into yourself, your community and the world around you. You will be immersed in this culture throughout the program as well as learn how to facilitate it in your own personal and professional context at home. This course will be a powerful, transformative community experience, enabled by a deep immersion into nature, music, and the presence of cultural visionaries and elders, all hosted in an evolving ecovillage in the magnificent mountains of the Swiss Alps. Topics: – Introduction to permaculture (history, ethics and principles) – Permaculture design methods and processes – Planning and building of permaculture systems – gardens, communities, companies – Self-sufficiency and sustainable living and building – Permaculture in agriculture – Practical know-how: Botany, composting, forest gardens and more – Social permaculture and community building, regenerative organisations, roles and project management – Nature connection tools and introduction to wilderness knowledge (Core Routines, 8 shields, bird language) – This course covers the Permaculture Association (B
