We are currently unavailable to accept new applications because of limited hosting capacity. However you can apply to be an Explorer from Winter 2022.
This can always change, however, and we will update our website if/when it does. All of us who live in Suderbyn contribute time and energy to developing the ecovillage as a place and as a community. Creating a new model of society is a challenging but inspiring task. It takes a lot of effort, time and commitment. We who live here contribute not only to keeping Suderbyn running well, but also to the social wellbeing of the community. We ask our visitors and guests to be considerate and respectful of our lifestyles and values.
Here in Suderbyn, we live simply (very simply, do not expect anything fancy), and in harmony with nature. We are not against innovative technologies and we use them ourselves when needed, but we do appreciate traditional knowledge and low-tech solutions which empower us and allow us to make more things ourselves instead of buying everything from far-away countries. This is not a perfect ecovillage, of course, but we are trying to live ecologically, sustainably and creatively; to respect nature and each other.

All communally bought and served food is vegan. Every weekday, one or two people cook for the community and on Sundays we usually have a pancake brunch..
We promote a healthy lifestyle. Although strongly discouraged, smoking is allowed only in specifically designated areas, never indoors. No drugs or hard alcohol are allowed in Suderbyn. Please read our Co-Living Principles for more details.

We have two cats living with us, which is good to know if you have an allergy.
We try to grow most of our food ourselves, but have not yet reached full self-sufficiency.

We enjoy "fika", a typical Swedish tradition of having afternoon tea/coffee and cakes, and when new people arrive, we often host a fika to welcome them.
We use compost toilets, separating urine and solids. But if you need to pee, the best is to just do it in the garden
(at least 50 m from the pump station). |
