The Experience

This is a recently started not-for-profit cooperative promoting creativity and well-being. Our space is a big old sanatorium, located in south-eastern Finland, one hour away from the capital Helsinki and surrounded by beautiful forests. The space is used to create a community for art, handicraft and wellness. It is important to us to create an atmosphere of open-mindedness and continuous learning.

The eco village is a nice place, in the middle of a forest. A lot of time to connect with nature, but also not so far from the capital. The hours and jobs were easy and flexible and the hosts and people who work there are all very kind.

My second time in the eco village was a very different experience than the first one. We were less volunteers and there were less events going on. Even though, I also enjoy it a lot and made me grow! I worked cleaning and preparing the future maker space and was amazing to work all together building a new roof for the fireplace. the eco village will be always in my heart, thanks a lot and see you a third time ;)

The eco village was really nice. The place is huge and there is a lot of nature around. It is a little far from the nearest city though, but they have bikes and cars you can ride, and also a lot of people coming and going all the time so you can ask for a ride. The hosts are super friendly and the volunteers were as well. If you don't mind eating vegetarian, I definitely recommend staying some time there.

I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks at the eco village at the end of the summer and it was a great experience. All the people are very nice and I was lucky enough to meet a group of exceptional people who were also volunteers. The facilities are very good and the food is well managed. Torsten, Raisa and all the people working there really made a special place to be in. I'm looking forward to coming back to see the progress in the makerspace and the winter in Finland. Thank you to all the fellow volunteers and artists for bringing us together to share special moments!!
