Ecovillage vision

Ecovillage vision

Hökås ecovillage is a community, a land, and a vision of spiritual co-creation in  open authenticity, where practicality goes hand in hand with magic,  playfulness, beauty, and ecology.  Where plants and people grow  continuously side by side, nourished by the fires of community and given  room by the open air, firmly standing in the soil with the waters of  emotion always flowing freely.  Where spirit roams and manifests its  expression.

Vision

To gather a community of people

  • …valuing open authentic communication (resolving conflicts leading to closer kinship)
  • …living in personal growth of health (letting go of constructed stories that doesn't serve us)
  • …wishing to live in harmony with everything around (spirits, stones, plants, animals, humans…)
