WHERE

At Khaama Kethna Holistic Wellbeing Retreat Cenre, a 12.5-acre ecovillage and meditation centre in South Goa, nestled in the Malabar Coast moist forest at the foothills of the Western Ghats, one of the world’s few and fragile biodiversity hotspots. Though fragmented and struggling in its battle with reckless tourist development and unchecked power, the area is awe-inspiring in its biodiversity and growing tide of community resilience. Since 2016,

WHY

With Extinction Rebellion and school strikes sweeping their way around the globe in demand of greater climate action, community awareness is greater than ever. Governments and corporations are running out of excuses – the clock is ticking for all of us. Faced with climate breakdown, there can be no borders, no race, no privilege.

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.
