It didn't work out for me and I left the place early. The facilities are nice, most people are nice and I could adapt to the macrobiotic food. However, they struggle a lot to organise the volunteers and they push that job on top of us if it's not working. I worked way more than 35 hours per week and had to attend endless meetings and circles. I felt exhausted, that I was wasting my time, ignored when I shared it with everyone and manipulated into thinking that I had a problem (even though more people shared and felt the same). In the end, it seemed like they didn't want or needed my help.

It also wasn't a good experience for us. Although Flavio is very kind and really wanted to help, he was not a match for our community.

At Avnø our policy is that each volunteer or team have an area of responsibility according to their wishes and abilities and then they organize their own time. Many volunteers have left Avnø feeling very empowered with a good understanding of how to find balance between work, community life and private life. The whole idea behind our is that we want our volunteers to work out of inspiration rather than working out of duty. To take breaks when needed. It is clearly stated in our info-pack. It is not always easy in the beginning, so often they need a little support to find balance. Flavio wanted us to create a more fixed work schedule - for everybody, rather than just support to organize his own situation.

It is also clearly stated in our infopack that volunteers will be part of our community while they are here. Flavio wasn't really a fan of taking part in our community activities, so our morning circles and sharing circles that for us are joyful and a point of connection was for him endless.

Flavio can be a good match at a place with a different policy and values.

It was a nice experience, the place is totally surrounded by nature and beautiful animals of the area. I enjoyed people there, I got the opportunity to learn more about macrobiotic diet, improve my skills in social media management and even in cooking meals, which is something I do like. Sometimes I just felt not in the right place, feeling the need to meet new people and explore new places, but it was not so easy since Avnø it's kinda in the middle of nowhere.

I have really enjoyed being part of and supporting the Avnø the eco village community. But also being supported and appreciated by the wonderful personalities in the community. In my area of responsibility, marketing, I was able to design and creatively implement many things on my own and there were no limits to my creativity. I really appreciated this and my suggestions were positively received in an open exchange within the community. Thank you for the many wonderful and intense moments and experiences in the community 💚
