The world, as we know it, can’t continue. For centuries we have improved life by treating symptoms and borrowing resources from future generations. We can’t maintain such an unsustainable lifestyle any longer. Systemic problems must be met by systemic change. Through co-creation, we can accelerate the transition that needs to happen to secure optimal living conditions for ourselves and future generations.

Avnø Oasis ecovillage was established with these ideas in mind in 2020 together with the purchase of the property. Currently, Kristiane (Denmark), Lena and her children (Ukraine), Olha (Ukraine), John (USA) & Lasse (Denmark) are the core members of the project who live permanently in Avnø Oasis. Several people are in the explorer position or volunteers supporting the development of specific areas of Avnø Oasis. Altogether we are around 15 people as of March 2025. We have a range of developed educational programs and have many students coming to us at various times of the year. The external supporters of our project include the board of Vitalitetsfonden foundation, LØS (GEN Denmark), the Macrobiotic Association and other individuals and organizations.

Our project includes three main directions: a co-housing, a højskole (non-formal adult education) and green enterprises. We are open to bright enthusiastic people who are ready to transform the reality around by developing themselves and working hand in hand!
