The Center is absolutely amazing! I loved every second I spent there and cannot wait to come back. Everybody (other volunteers and people living there) is so frendly, kind and respectful🩷 I love the atmosphere. We felt really welcomed and accepted. It was just really fun and rewarding! Thank you Kelsey and others!❤️

This was my first volunteering experience, and I'm really happy I chose it! Even though I stayed for a short time, I got to enjoy so many wonderful activities: the spa, the lake, gardening, painting, and cooking. I had the chance to follow a completely different routine from city life, and it had a very positive impact on me. The people welcomed me with open arms, and I'm truly grateful for that (especially because I was a bit nervous, since it was my first trip alone). It was a beautiful experience for spending time with people, but also for escaping the chaos of the city and recharging.

One of the best experiences of my life! I spent two and a half months at the Center and truly felt at home. the Center really opened my heart. I connected with nature, met amazing people and learned so much about myself. I loved the dancing sessions, doing yoga, swimming in the lake, going on bike rides, taking part in the women's circle and so many other things. I enjoyed the variety of tasks, from reception and cleaning to gardening, helping in the kitchen and building a clay house. I felt very seen, and this community became like a family to me. I'll definitely come back! ❤️

I had a wonderful experience at the Center. I embraced the calm, slower pace of life there meeting amazing, warm people. The tasks each day were varied and fun, with lots of flexibility in managing your own time. I loved the beautiful surroundings, swimming in the lake and walking in the woods. I got to experience Stjärnsund's music festival which was fantastic. Kelsey and Johannes were supportive and attentive to the volunteers. Would highly recommend!!

The Center is such a fairy-like place! From the peaceful nature surrounding it, and on some days you can even sleep outside! (Just bring mosquito spray :) ); to the volunteers from all over the world, it becomes such a unique experience. The tasks are wonderfully diverse and flexible: cooking lunch in the outdoor kitchen and seeing it come to life as people start to arrive, or getting the chance to scream like a Viking while making clay for the first time! And the people there! Kelsey, Johannes, Eva, Marco, Charlotta are such wonderful people, they work so hard to make sure I had a great time!

One of the best experiences of my life! I stayed only for a week and I wish I could've stayed longer. I met lovely people—both locals and other volunteers—and I truly felt at home. Kelsey is super nice and kind, and she creates a very welcoming, safe, and collaborative atmosphere for everyone. I am really glad to have met her as well. The nature around the place is breathtaking—it felt like stepping away from the whole world. Thanks for everything and I will definitely come back again!

Absolutely beautiful person. She arrived with gifts and so much energy to share. Got involved and helped out with everything. She took care with everything she did and was so open to all the opportunities here. It was short but very sweet. She even stayed an extra day to join the community monday meeting! Thank you Esra

It's difficult to put into words just how fulfilling this experience was, but if you are unsure whether you should go or not, take this as a sign to go. you learn so much, not just about about various tasks, but about yourself because being here gives you the space to slow down and meet yourself but also see others. i really appreciate this space, the people, the village itself and they're doing such great things! Kelsey is lovely, she's easy to communicate with, understanding and you will feel calm and comfortable around her, and the same can be said for everyone else i encountered here!

The Center is a wonderful place of connecting with nature, with others and with oneself. In my volunteering stay I did mostly gardening but also construction and other tasks. Kelsey and the other mentors always maintained an atmosphere, where it was okay to ask for changes in tasks or to tell them if I am struggling with something. The volunteer bond is really lovely and new volunteers are welcomed with open arms.

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers and it truly exceeded my expectations. The reviews here definitely don't lie, this place is just amazing. It was super easy to communicate with Kelsey and my arrival was smooth. She and the whole community of Fridhem made me feel so welcomed and like a part of their family. Overall the whole village is filled with the most fascinating and sweetest people, everyone goes out of their way to help you and make you feel comfortable. This is an amazing space for healing and growing. I'll never forget this place and I'll definitely come back

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
