What we do

Friskoven is an eco-village in Almindingen on Bornholm.
In December 2018, a small group of people bought an old production school with 12 hectares of land and 2500 square meters of buildings, with a loose dream of creating a safe, playful and creative community right here.
In the summer of 2020, more people came along and the project really took off.
At the time of the takeover, the buildings had been empty since 2010 and had been allowed to decay. There is still a huge renovation work ahead of us.
We are currently renovating the buildings with sustainable materials, for private living as well as common areas, creative workshops and more. We want to create a village community with room for diversity and creativity both for the individual person and for family life.
Our hearts know that “it takes a village” to thrive in harmony and balance as human beings. Friskoven has grown out of a longing to live an everyday life with a caring, vibrant and committed community right outside the door surrounded by wild nature. Our dream is to create such a “village” in Friskoven, where our children can run free and play and learn from and with each other, in sufficient proximity to caring, inspiring and responsible adults. We dream of a committed community where we can find support and sparring both emotionally and in relation to practical projects and chores.
The ecovillage Friskoven rests on three pillars:
– Economic and Social Freedom
– Co-creation
– Radical Sustainability
The three pillars together are the basis for how our mini-society is built, organised, operated and disseminated, just as they form the basis for the common visions that are implemented in Friskoven.

Taller impartido por Irene Goikolea

“Entrenando el corazĂłn y la mente para cocrear un nuevo futuro” Irene Goikolea, life coach, cuenta con más de 20 años de experiencia en el campo interrelacional del nuevo nosotros, creado a partir de la expansiĂłn de la conciencia individual del yo que incluye al otro. AsĂ­ mismo, es experta en el trabajo de sombra. Su principal objetivo es impactar en el despertar mutuo y en la transformaciĂłn interior. En sus seminarios y talleres, Irene explora las mĂşltiples posibilidades que existen en el espacio del “nosotros”, las cuales contribuyen al despertar de la conciencia colectiva. Este enfoque se basa en los valores de la sabidurĂ­a ancestral, sobre los que ha impulsado el retorno a una vida compartida, en sintonĂ­a con el nuevo paradigma evolutivo global. La vida cotidiana es la plataforma ideal para experimentar el conocimiento que se destila en cada uno de sus seminarios. Irene ha inspirado la fundaciĂłn del proyecto Amalurra, formado por tres comunidades enfocadas en el desarrollo personal y colectivo. FormaciĂłn: Máster universitario en PsicologĂ­a Profunda, Constelaciones Familiares, rituales sistĂ©micos, chamanismo, coaching, PNL, yoga y Reiki, entre otras disciplinas. En la actualidad, escribe su tesis doctoral basada en su experiencia comunitaria. —————————————————————————————————– La vida cotidiana nos refleja la realidad que construimos desde nuestro interior. Todo lo que excluimos o negamos de nosotros mismos emerge a la superficie como sĂ­ntomas de cualquier tipo como estrĂ©s, conflictos interpersonales continuos, falta de vitalidad, reactividad ante las decisiones, relaciones dependientes, sensaciĂłn de bloque
