Suderbyn Ecovillage & NGO Relearn

Suderbyn is an intentional community, ecovillage and NGO of open-minded people from various co Within Suderbyn we work and create together.

On one hand we are an eco-village on the island of Gotland, where we aim to live close to nature and each other, and achieve not only sustainable but regenerative lifestyle, with the focus on earth-care, people-care and fair share. On another hand we are an NGO working internationally and locally with the focuses on youth, re-learning, environmental resilience, non-violence, social justice, sustai

nable lifestyle, education and international cooperation. We question patterns of consumption, social structures and cultural stereotypes. We experiment in different areas with innovation and traditional knowledge with the attempt to create a model of healthy and happy society, enjoying the diversity of people. We work with educational projects. We regenerate the connections between people and between people and nature. We relearn what once was told to us.

It’s dandelion season! 🌼

Here in Suderbyn, one of our big foraging projects in spring is making vegan ‘honey’ out of dandelion 🍯! We pick from different spots, to not disturb the wild growth of this beautiful flower too much!

DEADLINE IS THE 11TH OF MAY!

Dearest human beings, we are happy to bring back our annual summer camp! 🔥

ReGreen will bring together 12 young people for a 21-day educational, practical, and social adventure in the Suderbyn Permaculture Ecovillage. You will learn about a variety of topics like permaculture principles and designs, sociocracy and sustainability.

Suderbyn is home to an international community of people who care about the environment, and who apply permaculture principles and voluntary simplicity in their everyday lives. The working days will include both theory and practice, enabling the volunteers to directly apply everything that has been learnt at a conceptual level. This means that we hope to provide you with skills and competencies that you can carry with you after your journey with us has ended.

The project will weave together 3 themes over the course of 3 weeks:
- Creating sustainable living spaces through activities organised by the infrastructure/building domain of Suderbyn.
- Applied permaculture design through activities organised by the garden domain of Suderbyn.
- Personal and group development with activities organised by the social domain and the community’s NGO RELEARN.

🌱 Free shop renovation! ♻️

One of our first projects this year was moving and re-doing our free shop- where anyone can come take or drop any clothing, and you can find decorations for your room! 🏠👕

We stripped the room of all its furniture, cleaned the carpet, and built a wooden frame to attach all those shelves! Now, we can come and find a new outfit in beautifully labeled boxes!

We are often looking for ways to beautify suderbyn, but also optimize our spaces! Now the free shop has its dedicated room, right in the middle of the village! 😊

Wonderful Winter! ❄️

We are fully immersed in winter mode in Suderbyn! The last months we’ve been cozied up in the house together, with an almost everglowing woodfire! 🔥 The winter has allowed us to have movie marathons, cozy dinners and game nights! We’ve been doing what we can to keep developing our community; renovating the inside toilet, garden reflections, maintaining woodboxes to use for fires! Now with the snow we’ve gotten together and made paths through the knee deep snow(!!) to walk through
Of course winter is also the season of introspection and reflection on the past year and the new one coming up, we invite and encourage this in the village. Everything is a bit slower, and that’s okay 💜

Next up: making an inventory of our seeds, transforming one of our spaces into the perfect ‘free shop’, and building a new bungalow before our new volunteers arrive in March!

Is this different from your winter? Share what you’re up to! 😄
