Communal living is a dream for many. For Freja, it's become a reality thanks to her hard work, dedication and support of her family and friends, and fellow eco villagers.
We went to visit Friskoven on the island of Bornholm, south east of Denmark, and check out what an eco village in Denmark is like.
Check out Friskoven on their website here; en.friskoven.dk
Friskoven welcome volunteers to their village to help with their projects, you can find them on work away here www.workaway.info

I’ve heard about places like this, but never seen it until now. Thank you for sharing guys 🙏🏼 Love the idea of getting out of the hamster wheel and the radical sustainability. I’m interested to know, how much is the cost of living in a community like this 😊🙏🏼

I am pretty sure I came across this plays many years ago while out hiking and looking for mushrooms. The buildings were abandoned and completely overgrown and slowly being consumed by weather and exposure. I thought “what potential going to waste”. It was always in the back of my mind what happened to it. At the time I think one could have acquired the premises fairly cheaply. Glad to see someone picked up on it and did something with it …

Thank you for making this! It’s so wonderful to be given an insight into what people are doing and communal life!! Keep it coming.Also have you considered patreon?

How do you live off grid in Denmark when everything is always owned by someone and building a off grid house has to be accepted by the government ? And if it has to be accepted the off grid idea of it goes away

We wanted to join but they wanted a selection process like an elimination game show. We were asked to come for a month along with several other families, then at the end they would pick one and tell the others, go home, too bad, you wasted your time. Of course they have to choose people, but not by making them compete like capitalists.

@macfunkey 2 года назад

Always a problem, how to choose people to come and live with you. Maybe you could suggest a better way?

Yeah we are working on how to be able to take in new members, maybe next year will be different, we are discussing it right now, but I must say it was good to have a dedicated time to meet people and I can tell you that noone was told to go home - it was as much a chance for people to meet us and try out communal living here for a while and have the chance to then say it wasn't for them anyway, and all the families that gave their final yes, got ours too and are now moving in with us (we didn't say we would choose only one). I am sorry you felt it like a game show, we did our best for it not to be, but of course there's a sense to it, as we do hold our right to say no to people if it doesn't feel right and for some, taking in too many new members in, in one go, is too much (I'm personally not of that feeling, but totally respect other's feelings in that way), that's why we don't just have 100% open doors and try to choose the people that fit in the holes we feel we might have in the community. But other suggestions for how to bring in new people are very very welcome, as we are still looking for the best way
