Foreningen Issemosegaard
The Association Issemosegaard
In the summer of 2022 we established the association Issemosegaard with the purpose to encourage alternative ways of life. A lifestyle where human values, nature and wellbeing is at the center, as opposed to society’s focus on achievements, efficiency and results.
We want to create a sanctuary for people who feel overwhelmed by society’s “hamster wheel”, and create an environment for personal and collective growth. A place where we find our way back to our roots as humans.
In our opinion humanity has on many levels become detached from nature and our philosophy is that we as humans need to find our way back to it. We believe that this should be done both physically, mentally and spiritually to truly heal and thrive as individuals and as a species.
Through practical work, openness and creativity we want to bring meaning and purpose to people’s lives and encrease the joy of being.
Our Focus Areas
- To promote a healthy and natural lifestyle with homegrown food, exercise and less mental stress
- To create an environment for creative unfoldment and encourage people to create and find what they enjoy doing such as music, art, writing, cooking, building and dancing
- To promote sustainability and nature conservation by growing our own food, composting, recycling, upcycling, buying second hand, mindful energy consumption and lessening waste
- To encourage inner growth and expantion of consciousness through meditation, yoga, dance, breathwork, winter bathing, shadow work and other forms of personal development
- To be a gathering point for the surrounding community on Femø. We wish to contribute to the connectedness of it’s inhabitants and to keep the island “alive”
- To promote Nature’s wisdom and learn more from the cultures who live in harmony with Nature
The Association Issemosegaard will work towards it’s purpose by being a gathering point for members and non-members. We wish to create social events of all kinds and offer the opportunity for people to participate in common farm work projects.
