Skeppsudden

Skeppsudden is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and live more simply for a while. It's still evolving, and we like building it together with the people who show up here. So you're not just visiting, you're part of shaping it.

Life here is grounded and hands-on. Depending on the season, you might help with cleaning, organizing, gardening, or general upkeep. We aim for a real balance between work and rest, and things run best with people who are proactive but easygoing.

The energy shifts with the seasons. In summer, we host a number of retreats, which brings a more dynamic, social rhythm to the place. More people, more activity, more shared momentum. Volunteers even get the chance to join some retreats free of cost.

We welcome people from all backgrounds and beliefs. The atmosphere is open, respectful, and non-dogmatic: rooted in shared experience rather than fixed ideas.

This is a great fit if you're comfortable with both quiet stretches and busier, more social periods, and if you like being part of a small, evolving project rather than a fixed, polished operation.

I've been volunteering at Skeppsudden for a month and can genuinely recommend it.

There's Chris, who takes care of admin and meetings. Roderick is the construction guy. The rest of the team fill in where help is needed, giving you variation in your day.

The team values community, work / play balance, and clear communication. There's always someone around if you need support or just want to talk.

All dietary requirements are respected, and we do our best to accommodate them.

You can expect to be treated with respect, clarity, and appreciation, in an atmosphere where everyone's well-being genuinely matters.

The Center is a special place where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and feel more present. Surrounded by forest and sea, it offers a unique space for reflection and meaningful connections. Zita welcomed me as both a wonderful leader and a friend. Roderick has a rare ability to look you in the eye and truly see you, while Cris has a great sense of humour. I'm grateful for the honest, deep conversations, the freedom to be yourself, and the genuine care everyone shows for one another. I left with beautiful memories and would wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

The Center is a place that can change your life. It is a harbour for so many different people to meet, with the common truth of being connected to life and committed to feel more present and more themselves. There is forest and sea, peace and excitement. I can guarantee that this is a space where you can learn so much both on a practical and existential level. I'm deeply and forever grateful for having found this place for it has found me in ways that I have been quietly longing to for ages. It is possible indeed to thrive in a community build upon connection, freedom and curiosity.

That was a great experience! Roderick, Zita and Vittoria are extraordinary people. They treated me like one of them from the very beginning. We had lots of great conversations, tasks were super transparent and pleasant and the fact that you're in the middle of nowhere helps you to reconnect with yourself. Highly recommended!

I didn't like the 10h shifts for lacking better organization, the room given wasn't private, I didn't their behaviour. The shared spaces like the kitchen and the bathroom were really dirty.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry your experience at Skeppsudden wasn't a positive one.

At the same time, we don't recognize several aspects of this review. From our perspective, it doesn't accurately reflect the volunteer experience here and was influenced by interpersonal challenges during your stay.

We always welcome constructive feedback and continuously improve. Every other volunteer has given us a 5-star review, and prospective volunteers are welcome to contact them here :=)
