ABOUT US

Our Tribe and Community

When you visit Deep Spirit, you automatically become part of our tribe – an extended family with roots and branches reaching far beyond Femø. Our community is built on connection, trust and mutual support, and many guests return again and again to Issemosegaard.

Our team consists of people who, in different ways, have been part of our journey – just as we have been part of theirs. Some live here full-time, others come and go to share their gifts. What unites us is lived experience: each of us is on our own personal path of growth and transformation, and we believe that guidance and healing are often found through being mirrored by others who have walked similar paths. Together, we support one another and hold space for growth – for ourselves and for everyone who visits.

Our House – Issemosegaard

Issemosegaard is an old farm built in 1878, surrounded by trees, fields and sea views on three sides. When we found the place in 2017, it stood empty and in need of much love – both the house and the land were overgrown and forgotten. Since then, with the help of friends and family, we have slowly brought it back to life through countless working hands, shared meals and Karma Yoga Weekends.

Today, the main house stands alongside old barns, a corn silo and traces of the farm’s history – from pig farming and orchards to windmills and plum trees. We live closely with the land, our animals and the changing seasons, dreaming of becoming more self-sustainable while humbly learning how demanding that truly is. Renovation, gardening and care are ongoing processes, and we have learned to accept that this place unfolds slowly, just like any meaningful journey.

We feel deeply honoured to be caretakers of Issemosegaard and to add our chapter to its long history.

Our Sacred Spaces

Issemosegaard holds a few special landmarks that shape the soul of the place. One is the tall green corn silo – a symbol of the farm’s past and today a unique space with remarkable acoustics. Inside the silo, sound journeys, singing and small concerts have taken place, and we dream of restoring it into an even more magical space for music and resonance.

Another sacred space is our tipi, MAYAH. She has been with us since 2018 and marks the rhythm of our seasons: taken down each autumn and raised again in spring. The tipi is a ceremonial space where we gather in circle, honour ancient traditions and connect around the element of fire.

In 2025 we finished our new scared ceremony space and yoga shala, which we have worked on for the last 2 years. A lot of love has been put in to creating this room from us and countless community members during our Karma Yoga Wekends. We truly feel the love that has been woven into the walls, and know that this new ceremony room marks a new chapter for Deep Spirit at Issemosegaard.

The Island of Femø

All of this lives on the island of Femø – a quiet, fertile island in Smålandshavet, known for its orchards, clean air, starry skies and strong sense of community. Femø invites slowness. Guests often feel the shift the moment they board the ferry. The island’s varied landscapes, beaches, forests and winding roads offer space for reflection, and walking around the entire coastline is a beloved ritual for many – a journey that feels like travelling through many worlds in one single day.
