Our days take many colourful forms and are filled with a broad variety of activities (and unexpected events). Realizing a project of this size requires commitment, a variety of skills, practical work and communal involvement. It also offers rich possibilities for development of personal, practical, organisational, social and communal skills.
If you are eager to put your body, mind & soul in an intense combination of social interaction, research, experiment, design, practical tasks and the creation of a more sustainable model of life, we invite you to explore the pathways below and read more in our infopackage. Here you will also find a form to apply to be guest, volunteer, co-liver or explorer.
In particular we are looking for explorers (potential future partners) and volunteers who like to engage in the following areas. Read more in our infopackage.
Great if you have skills, but we can also train you. Some areas we manage quite well – others somewhat inadequately due to lack of skills or lack of time (double or tripple roles).
We have many shared Facilities including a car share association. A large common area and many shared facilities require that each of us spend around 2 hours/day + 1 day/month on daily chores and upkeep of our home.
As much as possible we try to align work tasks with skills and interests, so we can work from inspiration rather than obligation.
With the intention to co-create a more sustainable lifestyle, Avnø Oasis is a melting pot of people with different cultural backgrounds and skills ranging from ecovillage-design, permaculture, holistic nutrition, personal and spiritual development to entrepreneurship and sociocracy.
With 7 to 11 different nationalities around the table we mostly speak English.
Our community kitchen serves 3 daily meals prepared using macrobiotic principles.
All bedrooms have private bathrooms.
We aim to find a healthy balance between work, social life and withdrawing to connect with ourselves or nature.
We’re in a nature reserve area, so we strongly recommend taking walks or bikerides in the area!
As a community, we sometimes sing, play games, watch a movie, sit by the fireplace or do other social activities. Other days we take time on our own. In your free time it is often possible to participate in some of Avnø højskole’s activities.
In our infopackage you may read more about how you can be our guest, volunteer with us, live with us for a while or become a partner of the project.
