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 our co-liver or explorer.
✅Co-livers are people, who are living with us temporarily (minimum stay: 2 months).
✅Explorers are people, who wonder if Avnø will be their future home (minimum stay: 2 months).
✅Co-livers, explorers, partners & volunteers naturally engage on different levels.
✅As co-livers, explorers and partners, you can choose different ways of contritution (labor activities and/or payments):
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.
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.
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.
In our infopackage you may read more about how you can be our co-liver, live with us for a while or become a partner of the project.
