Day-programme

Be aware that the program still can be subject to change!
Every morning, during breakfast, we will gather for introductions to the day, so that everyone is updated and welcomed into each day.

Childrens area and activities:

The children’s area will be a meeting place with focus on children and young adults with room for parents and families to explore play, creativity and curiosity. We have designed a programme where some activites are planned and regular each day (like feeding the farm animals in the morning and afternoon), and other times lots will be free to spend in the space and in your own rhythm.

Rise and shine:

In addition to a lot of inspiring workshops the Nordic Permaculture Festival will also make sure to nurture your body and soul! Every morning we will offer the opportunity to connect to both inner and outer nature through simple Tai chi movement for wellbeing, dance, yoga or guided silent walks in nature. But of course, you are always welcome to sleep in as well…. 😉

Sharing circle:

Since there are many workshops to take part in during the festival, we also want to accommodate a space for participants to share from their experiences, or expertise, in a circle of active listening, and anchoring with a talking stick to support ‘people care’ and ‘fair share’. Participants are welcome to initiate sharing from our festival experience in general, or focus a sharing circle on a specific topic, like LAND, permaculture education, or any topic of interest to participants.
