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.

What do you know about your feelings? Where do they come from and what are they there for? Quote from the book “Feelings, How to Use Them Intelligently”, Vivian Dittmar. To know more about how you create feelings through interpretation of what is happening allows you to interact in a powerful way with your environment. This is not about controlling and manipulating your feelings. Instead, it is about knowing their true source and being able to take responsibility. It is about using your feelings to connect to life and share your beauty and your inspiration  while at the same time healing old emotions that previously were not visible. This festival can completely change your perspective on how you deal with feelings in your life! And more: It will surely enrich your perspective on how to be in the world and contribute powerfully to a sustainable, creative and nourishing lifestyle. An atelier for consciousness, creativity and joie de vivre. With lectures, performances, workshops, live music, children’s and youth camps… Small workshops in the afternoon allow a deeper immersion into the experiential spaces of feelings. “Feelings as powers” – Whitsun festival in ZEGG Community (Germany, near Berlin) 22.05. – 27.05.2015 Designed and performed together with Vivian Dittmar, the author of the book “Feelings, How to Use Them Intelligently” em*****@**gg.de

This international Ecovillage Design Education course (EDE) is a four week course that is certified by Gaia Education (www.gaiaeducation.org) & recognised as a contributor to UNESCO Global Action Programme (GAP) on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This Ecovillage Design Education course will be held from the 29th of July until the 26th of August, 2018 at Gaia Ashram, Thailand. The curriculum for this course has been developed by Gaia Education and is often referred to as EDE. The EDE provides students of all ages with the knowledge and practical skills on how to design a society or a community/village which uses energy and materials with greater efficiency, distributes wealth fairly and strives to eliminate the concept of waste. The knowledge of EDE is also adaptable for personal or family level of transformation, in urban and rural contexts. This EDE is also supported and acknowledged by the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) and is actively supported on the ground by a collaboration of GENOA (Global Ecovillage Network of Oceania & Asia) & NextGENOA (the youth network of GENOA).
