Plant Healing Retreats i Danmark

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.

Membership

You can easily support the work we do by becoming a member of the association. As a member you will receive newsletters with updates on everything that is happening at Issemosegaard as well as invitations to upcoming events.

We have decided to make the membership donationbased, in order to make it possible for everyone to join. This means you are free to donate what feels good to you. This can be a small symbolic amount or you can choose to make a bigger donation if this is within your possibility and if it resonates with you. We appreciate any support that comes our way.

Since we launched our Scholarship program in spring 2025, we have decided that all donations go to support this. In that way it supports our place and someone will have the opportunity of joining a retreat.

To become a member please transfer your donation to MobilePay Box 5507SM and write your e-mail address in the comment, so we know where to send our newsletters. Your membership will last until you unsubscribe and you are welcome to make more than one donation if this resonates.

Karma Yoga Weekends

A few times a year our community gathers for what we call Karma Yoga Weekends. These weekends are an invitation to come together in shared presence and contribution, supporting Issemosegaard through hands-on work and collective care.

During the days we work side by side on the land and around the house – gardening, painting, building and tending to the many small and big tasks that come with caring for an old farm. No special skills are required, only a willingness to participate and collaborate.

At the heart of Karma Yoga Weekends lies togetherness. They are about sharing time, laughter and effort, strengthening our bonds as a community and nurturing the place that holds us – while being held by it in return. In the evenings we gather to enjoy each other’s company and often facilitate offerings such as cacao ceremonies, ecstatic dance, sound journeys or other community-based events.

Check the calendar for any scheduled Karma Yoga Weekends.
