Had the best time of my life in Stjärnsund. I met some amazing people that will always be in my heart. I had the chance to reconnect with nature and myself, taking walks to lake and exploring. We had a pizza night, campfires, slept in the forest, watched the stars on the pier. The work hours are really flexible and you can manage yourself. I helped with the marketing, but also helped with some physical work as harvesting potatoes and beets, taping windows, raking the leaves and shoveling. Every monday there is a community meeting where everyone shares their thoughts and it's heartwarming 🫶🏻

Nicole arrived full of energy and really stepped into her role and took leadership. Nicole connected and felt right at home. She appreciated the nature, the people and all this village has to offer. She was able to cooperate with everyone and be a part of creating a positive environment. We are looking forward to Nicole coming back in November to continue her work :) Her enthusiasm and humor are always appreciated.

I really want to thank you for having me. the Center is just such a special place, truly like you can't find anywhere else. Everyone was welcoming and kind. Also, it was really nice to see how well everyone living there took care of each other. The work was really diversified and could be individual to your strengths. During my stay, it was mostly repairing windows and work outside in the garden. I especially loved, how surrounded by nature Stjärnsund is. You should definitely go for a swim in the lake or a walk through the forest. I can surely recommend traveling there :)

Pia is very brave. Visiting us as her first experience traveling on her own. Pia is smart and creative and came up with a beautiful design for a new garden sign, including her handpainted details. Thank you Pia :)

Hi everyone, I spent two weeks in Fredhem, it was the best ever. I felt like home and the hospitality of the people is wonderful, Kels and the community have opened the door to me making me feel in the right place, I was looking for a place with my own values and Fredhem has them all. I met fantastic people with here I share my short stay, with whom I worked and practiced many wonderful activities, known their culture and language, I really enjoyed the unspoilt nature of Sweden and met other volunteers from different places, it was an experience to do again.. Thank you very much for having me

Irene was a huge impact with her high energy personality and gave us so much with her dance lessons and appreciation for the peaceful life here and warm welcome. We are very grateful she had so much energy to share her dance teaching in so many different styles and only wish her visit could have been longer.

The Center is a magical place, with all the nature around, lakes and forests, the peace and sense of freedom, and meeting kind and fun volunteers made it an incredible experience🌸 What I take with me most is undoubtedly the wonderful people I met, from the kids to the elders, they made me feel at home and were like a hug to my heart. And I was lucky to have Kelsey around, with her bright energy, pure heart, empathy and humor! ✨ As for the tasks, they were renovating and painting windows, working outside with the grass and helping with a variety of things. I learnt a lot, and I will come back :)

Maria brought the light with her. She was smiling everytime we met. She made strong connections with the locals, the kids and the nature around. Maria got into her tasks and managed some very challenging window renovating.
We are very grateful for her time and look forward to her coming to visit in november!

The Center is a very special and warm place. The people who constantly live there are welcoming and generous. Kelsey was caring, always interested on the well-being of us volunteers and We loved the environment, swimming in the lake, digging in the garden and alsooo filming and taking pictures. Even tough producing content was sometimes hard, working in the nature gave us the perfect variety.💖⭐️ we felt appreciated and emilia really did enjoy teaching yoga🧘‍♀️ and we enjoyed joining a yoga class of kelsey. emilia and i, we will come back

E&J brought a wave of happiness and friendliness that lifted everyone around them. One volunteer said they had never met anyone as happy as Josephine and her humour is priceless. Emilia shared yoga with us and created beautiful held spaces. I really enjoyed working with them and appreciate all their input and advice as we develop our marketing and am already looking forward to their return next October! You are missed! Hugs from us all.

I spent three weeks in this wonderful place, surrounded by locals and other international travelers. The experience of meeting these people and living with them was amazing. I learnt tips about gardening and home crafts that may be useful. The place is ideal to connect with nature, but it is very remote and there's no buses on week-ends. I recommend it highly if you aim to retreat yourself among nature, but if you're a city dweller, who wants to visit Sweden, the task will be challenging.

Anais is one of the few volonteers who found her way here using public transit! She became our main garden caretaker. She is a dedicated volonteer and put a lot of love into the garden. She is always smiling and friendly to the other volonteers as they shared the kitchen and mealtimes. She was excited to experience the culture and explore the activities. We are grateful for her help :)

We were lucky to have Tippi come and share herself with us. She showed up in the middle of the crazy folkmusicfestival with people everywhere and jumped right in to support us in all the commotion. She was active and fun and ready to live, explore, learn and experience the world around her. We were touched by her ability to connect with the elders and welcome her back to visit anytime she misses us and needs a break from her studies. Thank you Tippi!

The Center community was such a great experience! Kels was lovely and share with me always the best energy. Also, I was grateful for the clarity with the tasks and schedule. In my case I worked on the garden, was such a great experience, also therapeutic putting your hands on the soil. They have all the tools for you to work properly and with joy. I miss the raining boots now hahaha PD: Monday activities are the best to bond and discover the team. Thaaaaaank yoooooou!

Gabriela is a dream volunteer :) Bursting with life and positivity she will raise anyones spirits. She did fantastic work in the garden, evidence of her creative talents that reflect care and diligence in her tasks whatever she did. We are looking forward to seeing her back here with us whenever she has some time to jump back into our family life here and all the connections she made. Thanks Gabi !

If you want to be surrounded by warm beings and see the world with kinder and more attentive eyes, this is the place to go. Nowhere else you can find the same familiarity and peace along both the people and nature.

I first want to thank all the people I met in Stjärnsund that permit me to get more and more involved in the Center. I am especially grateful to Kelsey, Eva and Stefan that were always available and here to communicate on the work. They care about you and how you are feeling and will be understanding. The hours are really flexible, we could create our own schedule, except if some tasks had the be made in priority. The work was not too demanding and the instructions were clear. Volunteers could help in the kitchen in order to get some free food. I could try yoga, explore the lakes and forests.

Anthony was a pleasure to host. He worked excellent with everyone especially with the other volonteer. He is a great person to have around and had no problem jumping into the tasks and taking care. We miss him and hope to welcome him back someday!! Thank you for your visit :)
